Black & White

prisons seal your doors
and mansions lock your gates
The devil's in the courtyard
and he shall not be named
he's on his own
and this time there's no route home
I've taken all my pride
and locked it in with him
now I can feel a tingling
creeping up my skin
I'm full of life
I'm shaking off my darkest night
and all the colors of his fickle lies
are fading til their black & white
three cheers for righteousness
and three for negligence
roll them all together and you
catch a glimpse of what's
trapped beneath your skin
the devil takes the reins again
and even he the king of lies
can tell you're out of breath my friend
I have been the cure
I have been the perpetrator
I will be the cure
time's up for the perpetrator in me

As I Grow Older

as I grow older, my days grow shorter
even though I fill them with less
of the important things
I know I must address
my eyes will grow dimmer
as my voice grows thinner
til at last my time it will come
will I be satisfied with all that I have done
will I say I knew it all along
will I love those kids who did me wrong
will I stand by all I say at the end of my days
and if not would you love me
would you love me all the same
lately I'm thinking your love's gone missing
cuz I haven't seen it in months
are you fed up with what a
mess I have become
maybe I need changing or maybe just aging
for me to keep my hot blood under wraps
so I rest easy when
my maker calls me back
then will I say I knew it all along
will I love those kids who did me wrong
will I stand by all I say at the end of my days
and if not would you love me
would you love me all the same
