The light is rolling in
And the kids are waking up
It's dark out there
you might get lost out there
The men head for their home's
Our sense is all we've got
And when we're running from the sky
It all gets lost
So we hide beneath the trees
Hoping no one see's
The great flash in the sky
The thunder rumbles and it shakes
It makes us all feel afraid
Tied to the mast we dodge the rain
Back to the shop car dripping with rain
We take what you give us and you lead us away
Oh the beauty, Oh the Majesty
The great flash in the sky
Lift us up
But us in your pocket keep us safe
Because if we go out there
We might get filled with fear
From the great flash in the sky
Floods fill the town
Homes and cars sink down
And the world beneath the sea
Comes to meet me
Thanks to the flash in the sky
Oh Take Us Out With A Mighty Flash
Scream Heavens Mercies Upon Us
Rip all we have from your wrath
Back to shop car dripping in rain
We take what you give us and you lead us away
Oh the beauty, oh the majesty
The Great Flash In The Sky

Shorelines
05:24

I found peace on hill
And it’s followed me everywhere I’ve been
And the flowers made in my mothers eyes
Mark everyplace that I’ve been
Just as shorelines are boundaries so are these
Flowers my mother made my home
And I’ll fall into the sea like an egg from it’s nest
But I think I can find my way back home
I’ve got letters stacked on my desk
They’ve been signed, stamped, sealed, and addressed
But I never mean to send
Them to anyone to whom they were penned
Just as shorelines are boundaries so are these
Flowers my mother made my home
And I’ll fall into the sea like an egg from it’s nest
But I think I can find my way back home
I know stories I've been told
Of the wars of the world and of kings of old
If only I weren't so young
I'd saddle my horse and ride to this war thats begun
Just as shorelines are boundaries so are these
Flowers my mother made my home
And I’ll fall into the sea like an egg from it’s nest
But I think I can find my way back home

Always black painted
Always silver painted
Always integrated for your best interest
Always looking for the next red scare
But these kids'll believe every word that they hear
I'm just trying to believe every word that you say
But it's hard when your eyes are so full of lies
And your hands are pretty shaky
And your mouth is pretty sweaty
And your saying words I often wouldn't hear
I do believe I've found the cure to what you've got
oh oh oh the planets are aligning in your favor
But from hear it gets worse
You've never been around
You were running when you hit the ground
And you couldn't stop until you hit a wall
I've always been afraid of the types of stories I make
But you haven't gotten upset at a thing I've said
I'm just trying to believe every word that you say
But it's hard when your eyes are so full of lies
And your hands are pretty shaky
And your mouth is pretty sweaty
And your saying words I often wouldn't hear
I do believe I've found the cure to what you've got
oh oh oh the planets are aligning in your favor
But from hear it gets worse

Sojourner

Fix your eyes to see what I see
These colors and lights among other things
They beam down from above
Through the cracks in the roof
Of this dark and empty and growing room
Though it knows no walls
Stills it's sides grow tall
And won't stop till they've run out of space
Though the floor be dust it's a home to us
So you move right in
Where the lights are less dim
Your reflections can be found on the floor
Where the silk is spun
So make patterns in the sun
Of shapes and places that you've been
We move right along
Cause no turn can be wrong
When we've rid ourselves of the stars
Though the floor be dust it's a home to us

Sleeping Ocean

We're all balancing on bead
But you kiss me so sweetly
Your acting so shy because you can't barely see
The ocean is dead still
The ocean is sleeping
And each creature that moves
Lives to hide in the weeds
Fathers in the sun
Teach their kids how to run
How do you know my name?
How do you know my face?
Oh oh oh
Each father that moves
Well their child moves the same
They're terrified by the moon
For revealing their tracks
And wolves in suits will dig up the dead at last
Angel hair is holding me down
Brother won't you keep them out
Angel dear love the crown
For angels fear or fear be drowned
How do you know my name?
How do you know my face?
We're afraid of the light
But we live by the sun
It's not how you lived
It's the man you become
How do you know my name?
How do you know my face?
Angel dear love the crown
For angels fear or fear be drowned
The ocean is dead still
The ocean is sleeping
And each creature that moves
Live to hide in the weeds
