Mysticism

My steps ascend into a promised land that I’ve invented
In my own image
My dreams reveal a garden
Where everything I sow bears fruit
No need to build up any fences
Nothing to eat away my roots
I ceaselessly look for the harmony
That lives in everything
So my path may someday
Lead me to the unity
But I’m letting bad news
Write my story for me
It’s mysticism
Don’t wanna look back on a
half-baked tragedy
It’s mysticism
Got to find a way
I got to find a way to make this happen
I’ve made it out of shit like this before
No doubt that I am a creature of habit
And I’m too used to letting all of my fears take control
The movement is incessant
And I can’t stop shaking
My screams are mantras
Sometimes
A fallen tree takes me angrily
Down road paved with mystery
But the irony is when it puts me
Right where I need to be
But I’m letting bad news
Write my story for me
It’s mysticism
Don’t wanna look back on a
half-baked tragedy
It’s mysticism
And I’m letting bad news
Write my story for me
It’s mysticism
Don’t wanna look back on a
Half-assed tragedy
It’s mysticism

Sunder
The splitting grains of sand being dragged under
The crashing waves, the lonely days
And the bummers
The sickening, crooked, campaign
Can’t go another day not asking
Why was I the one left kneeling?
What's getting in the way?
Of what I wanna say?
I’m searching for you tonight
Can’t you see that this is more than you and me
I’m searching for you now
Mother
Took me to a church camp that one summer
And there I learned my fate is shared with another
The ones I love will surely betray me
And I’ll find out if I am worth saving
When the curtains unveil steps ascending
What's getting in the way?
Of what I wanna say?
I’m searching for you tonight
Can’t you see that this is more than you and me
I’m searching for you now
Lay down
The sky is pulling on me now
Reach out
The grains are slipping through the cracks
In my trembling fingertips
My heart swells
The beating turning into pounding
The answers all are so resounding
I only have one choice
Watch and pray
