I'll go

I've been to the desert 
Following something 
I cannot blame

See the ghosts by the water 
The horses in the rain 
The man lying by the river 
Hearing god call his name

Speak to me my son 
Softly he speaks 
Wishing me well 
Watching me he hopes 

Sitting on a bench 
For I cannot refrain 
To live again 
To be caught in this game 
Wasting the time 
So maybe it'll go

    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
