Heavy Hearts

One word wouldn't be long enough not with what i have to say to you.
Two words could not hold up strong enough
But maybe 3 would do.
and i traveled far and wide for you not really knowing where to begin.
But in the deepest part of my lonesome heart is where you were made whole again.
Is it life that brought you down.
well it brought you to your knees.
Heavy hearts and heavy souls well we both got both
To Free.
And life is on this one way track and once you go there you can never take it back.
well this constant motion breathes like an ocean crashing waves on you.
The past is gone the past is dead the past keeps running through our heads. You don't know what you want and i don't know either.
Is it life that brought you down.
well it brought you to your knees.
Heavy hearts and heavy souls well we both got both
To Free.
Maybe one day we will figure this out and maybe one day we wont have to hurt so bad.
But i doubt it and i don't figure that we will ever realize what we really want to be.
But maybe you could love me?
or better yet hate my guts
but it seems like the wrong type of season for all this sorrow.

My babys going to down to Georgia shes going down there for weeks. She going to find herself it that old house she was born in. She picking up on some history she picking on the moving world. She better watch out before she get caught in that swirl.
and all i saw were visions of you
and all i wrote were letters to you
ive seen the mountains of Oregon ive seen the city lights
and i thought i could change from who i once was
but i cant change the person ive become and so i hope you keep a moving cause if you stop it be to much for those traveling feet.

Lonesome Souls

i dont wanna be the one to say it with such conviction
but i watch as your eyes the grow bags beneath them.
and well all these addictions arnt as glamorous as promised. we watch as are organs swell inside our bodies. and does death ever pain you? i know you used to wish you could die so that your lifeless soul would be taken far from here.
Bombs exploding sure they may come but that's not what we should fear. Its ourselves it ourselves that will truly drag us down. Into the depths the depths of the ocean as blue as they once were not much life will lay inside them anymore.
So im returning to the south.
to that town where you still lay your head.
sometimes i wish i layed there with you.
But time has taken what once was golden and the glow of your eyes has dimmed so dull.
And what have we become other then 2 lonesome souls but i know that somewhere is buried a heart
a heart that beats to the hands on a clock
once day it will stop but time it just keeps moving.
cause time it does not need you but it ages your face and your body.
your bones will be breaking and so is your will.
Your will to carry on through days after days of the same old routine the situation and life you call your own.
cause living it isnt cheap and it isnt easy so forget what you know and accept what you cant explain.
and sure death it will come and claim you and end this life you know
but the warmth of your soul will live on and proceed long past all these clocks and these racing thoughts this emptiness and world you call your home.

Not That Easy(Or is it?)
02:51

and i lay here under leaves of grass they cover up the sky.
and i thought about the changing patterns and how we all must die.
and i lay here engulfed in them with this thought of what is next and when shall my heart be put down.
and i had a dream of this endless rest that would carry me though all i thought, But found out.
and we all know its not that easy to forget those you have loved.
but the night sky it weeps upon this endless melody that you found out was yours.
and your eyes they are wet with rain from all the seasons that have past. But the past it lays in your head and you cant seem to get any rest. well if you could melt that heavy heart of yours im sure you would find some peace. but the eyes that you stare wear after all that you stare at seems it could never be.
and i know im the only one that feels your heart when you sleep. the visions that pass through my peripheral were just wishes of what i could be.
and if all those men who gave there souls for freedom found out it was like this.
would you still kiss me here though i would be leaving in the morning?
