We Become One (with the sea)

I am everything I'm expecting today
like a windy breeze by the ocean's seas
they make brash remarks and scoff at me
but I just smile so it's the last thing they see
and I watch for currents to drag me away
below the sky and the bottom of the waves
oh how it feels to finally be okay
everything's the way I expected today

When I wake up I'll be at the bottom
finding the sand bar around my feet
and I'll sink and sink and sink
until I become one with the sea

I am everything expected yesterday
words unspoken left bruised and broken
silent in the corner with nothing to say
waiting for a current to drag us away
we let the salt fill up our pours
and we talk like we use to before
the water filled our lungs and we couldn't speak
but we never have to say anything

When we wake up we'll be at the bottom
finding the sand bar around our feet
and we'll sink and sink and sink
until we become one with the sea

we drown in the deepest blue we've ever known
so peaceful out here because we're all alone
and the tides they always come and go
but we are one and we are whole
we become one with the deep blue sea
no one will find us it's just you and me
so don't worry because there's nothing to fear
it was all of our fate that brought us here
because


When we wake up we'll be at the bottom
finding the sand bar around our feet
and we'll sink and sink and sink
until we become one with the sea
we become one with the sea
we become one with the sea (no one will find us it's just you and me)
we become one with the sea

"Tell Me What You Know"

Did you hear the news
about the boy in blue
black and blue
his name was you
and me I feel safe
in new skin of sane
but I'll never be the same
but can you blame
me for all that was done
and when I'm gone
what will become
of all this sun

because I'm burning bright
for the first time
look at my glow
tell me what you know
because I'm so curious
and filled anxious
from head to toe
tell me what you know

Did you find your way
from night to day
without words to say
what about me
and you are true
if only you knew
of things I do
when I'm not with you
looking back now
it's a question of how
did it work out
when there's so much doubt

because I'm burning bright
for the first time
look at my glow
tell me what you know
because I'm so curious
and filled anxious
from head to toe
tell me what you know
tell me what you know

I'm everything between
make believe and dream
tell me what you see
because it's not me
and you are someone new
someone I never knew
you're one in a few
but you're not you
so take a step back
and see that it's fact
and a little bit sad
for everything you never had

because I'm burning bright
for the first time
look at my glow
tell me what you know
because I'm so curious
and filled anxious
from head to toe
tell me what you know

because I'm burning bright
for the first time
look at my glow
tell me what you know
because I'm so curious
and filled anxious
from head to toe
tell me what you know

WORLD WAR THR33

The oil exchange is for the blood of soldiers
to a man that can't speak simply past his own lips
while mothers and fathers are setting up funerals
sons and daughters deploy off on ships
to one day return in coffins or dog tags
missing in action or a prisoner of war
while the nation grieves while lighting candles
we all wounder what we're actually there for

W.W. 3
clap your hands for what this has become
you've destroyed us before but never again
I'm surprised you weren't assassinated
by the ones who stood tall next to your mark
while the buildings fell burning into the dark
what a mess has been made in the aftermath
kill you like you do to us in Iraq

You're a leader they say
it's bullshit.
you've doomed us all
you've killed us all...
