On the Hill

Find me silent on the hill
I am lost and overwhelmed
albeit from me to know the secrets of the land
(i know this doesn't make sense)
Take my love and make it strong
make it sing for everyone
Anyone I've ever loved has held me in their hands
Lightly going so I'm told
Is the way through wild winds blowing
Who am I to say I know much of anything at all

Beautiful People

beautiful love is for beautiful people
they have each other and I should be grateful
but it’s always the same I am bored by your lovers
she’s softer than you and she’d be a good mother
beautiful fear is for beautiful people
I lie here alone in the dark with my evil
the faster I run the quicker I crumble
hiding from what is inside me is wasted
all that I am is wide open spaces
beautiful lives are for beautiful people
my carrion dreams lying under the steeple
I spin a cyclical prayer for an answer thats equal
to the story I carved in the wall of my castle
I miss lying with you on the bench in the chapel
beautiful bodies make beautiful people
I repeated it over until it was lethal
and better yet still if it can be painful
I lie on the floor crying out for a reason
why love isn’t for me
they cover the ceilings with rebels and royals
burn all the pages between cause they’re boring
but a beauty alone couldn’t build a cathedral

After

If I die tomorrow
and find myself waiting at St. Peter’s gates
I’d surely think how heavenly
to once again feel sun shine down and dance across my face
And as I’d fall down to my knees
I’d cry because I’d feel no pain
All the answers fill my head against my will
and every mystery it slips away
Eternity is far too long
to live a life that’s worthy of those wings
Looking down on hell with righteousness
is nothing short of earthly sin
I’d be better off as nothing
than as something made to live without a heart to break
I’ve been nobody much longer than I’ve been somebody anyway
You could bury me or burn me
either way I’m not going anywhere
I’m not my name I’m just a wave
that kissed the shore to turn around and disappear
How lonely to believe someday you’ll leave
Theeverything and everyone you’ve loved behind
But I am you and you are everything
and I will always be there by your side
