a smaller god

Friday, June 29th, 2007

In the violent silence
Of a dream within a dream
You fill my soul with beauty
You’re my shiny man machine
Sinking in the roses
Falling down to fade away
The velvet blade of apathy
Makes the crush so bittersweet

And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god

Your presence is the morning
Your absence is the night
I’m searching your dark hallways
And I’m trying to find your light
Swimming your sad ocean
I’m drowning in your sea
This will all be over soon
And we’ll learn to live again

And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god

In the evening stars I see your eyes
I hear you speak to me
I miss you now so much it aches
So broken, so afraid

And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
And I, I could have died last night
But I heard the voice of a smaller god

moments

Monday, June 18th, 2007

I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn’t need it anyway
He took it lookin’ just a bit ashamed
He said, “You know, I haven’t always been this way

I’ve had my moments, days in the sun
Moments, I was second to none
Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn’t do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
That summer my son was born
Memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can’t get through
Lookin’ at me now you might not know it
But I’ve had my moments”

I stood there tryin’ to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I’m gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin’ at me, lookin’ down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, “You know, I haven’t always felt this way

I’ve had my moments, days in the sun
Moments, I was second to none
Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn’t do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin’ at me now you might not know it
But I’ve had my moments”

I know somewhere ’round a trashcan fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time
He says:

“I’ve had my moments, days in the sun
Moments, I was second to none
Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn’t do
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn’t scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through.
Lookin’ at me now you might not know it,
Oh, lookin’ at me now you might not know it,
I’ve had my moments.”

I’ve had my moments.
I’ve had my moments.
I’ve had my moments.

taking over me

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

You don’t remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do…

I believe in you
I’ll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You’re taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I’ll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You’re taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

I believe in you
I’ll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You’re taking over me

I believe in you
I’ll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You’re taking over me
(Taking over me)
You’re taking over me
(Taking over me)
Taking over me
