Birds fall from ash filled skies
And the world you know will tell you lies
And you will tell them too
Won't you?
Hear the laughter
A child's heart
Is what we're after
As we try to start
To paint this pale room
Mildewed roof
That comes crashing down....
On you
Saying so long (On you)
To truth (On you)
We seek (On you)
We're lost (On you)
In the colors (On you)
Of the palette (On you)
(We See)
And life won't wait
And our youth will fade
And the hearts we break
Will be remade and beautiful
As the colors that we paint this room
Are bright and full
In this pale room we wait
In this pale room we paint
In this pale room we hate
In this pale room we are

You Were

We weep as we stare in the mirror
Who is this?
What is this?
You'll say
It's you in all your ugly splendor
You should know that you will not win
Piece by piece we shuffle through the puzzle
Meat is meat
Life is life
They'll say
Be wary of what the preacher's selling
You will grow
You'll grow from your pain
You were
You were
You were
You were
You were the beauty of yesterdays
You were the tyrant as well as slave
You were a radiant fast decay
You were
You were
You were the peak of true energy
You were obedient lethargy
You were your life's own effigy
You were
You were
You were
You were
You were
You
Memories take the shapes of paintings
Different colors appear in different ways
The eyes of family and distant lovers
Are filled with tears and they wish you stayed

Own your
Faith and crime
Tears will fall
My eyes dry
Hearts beat
Slow and Fast
When you're close
My hands act
Born weak
Skin so dry
Sickly blood
God's last lie
God's last lie
Your Church
Steals from eyes
God's own truth
Beneath blue skies
Clouds break
Sun shines through
A saving grace
Is found in you
Is found in you
Oh my God
You're my God
You're my love
You're my light
