I feel light, even in my darkest hour,
The weight of this truth, it calms me.
To be light, grounded by a heavy heart,
And by the deeds they have done.Then let the night show me the way,
Will darkness complete me?
Even invite shadow to stay,
As I gift the Lake each silent ache
That burns endlessly.Lovely Lake, well-spring of all living things,
This paradise on earth, she calms me.
Water of life, give me my eternal sleep;
Oasis of blue, my grave.So let the night show me the way,
Let darkness complete me;
I now invite shadow to stay
As I gift the stars my silent scars
That burn endlessly.I feel light, even in my darkest hour.
I feel light. -
In an ordinary world filled with ordinary people…a little love can create something…extraordinary…

“You don’t think I’m annoying?”
“No, not at all.”
“Really? Even when I say stupid things? And ask to see your willy?”
“Even then.”
I don’t even know what to say, so instead of saying anything, I step into him. “Thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank me.”
My chest almost aches, and I have this weird feeling in my stomach. It’s not a bad feeling, but it’s a strange one. One I don’t seem to know how to understand. I slide my arms around him and press myself to him so I can tuck my face against his neck.
“I don’t know why this makes me feel so weird,” I mumble.
“A good weird or a bad weird?” he asks as he slides his hand under my shirt and gently runs his fingers over my back.
“A good weird. Stop! I can’t take any more of this! My body doesn’t know how to respond. I think it’s shutting down. I think I’m dying, Jackson. Is that what this feeling is?”
He shakes his head as he chuckles. “You’re not dying.”

“You remake the world a hundred times a day.

Brian frowned, then cleared his throat. He slowly released Sway’s face then lifted his hands and signed. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever get here. To this place in my head. A place where it’s calm. It took a long time to get here. I don’t feel the same way I used to. I was sure I’d be alone forever, Sway, before I met you. So, thank you.” Brian’s hand movements were full of the emotions he was feeling. “Thank you for being a fighter. You heard me, well before I could speak… and you never ran from me. I’ve searched for you for so long. I’ve traveled the world ten times over and I’ve never met anyone as brave and special as you. I’ve hunted you for forty years, Sway. You are who I’ve really been searching for all this time.”

Will you touch me, will you touch me
When my body’s full of fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me
When my body’s so cold?Nothing short of the softest word can reach me now.
Nothing but the warmest heart can touch me nowWill you hold me, will you hold me
When my mind is full of fears?
Will you kiss me, will you kiss me
When my mind is so down?All my life the doors kept closing on me
Nothing in the world can
Open my heart but some kindnessWill you touch me, will you touch me
When I’m shaking in fear
Will you reach me, will you reach me
When I’m trembling with tearsAll my life the doors kept closing on me.
And nothing in the world can open my heart
But your kindness -
Walking down the road
I feel so low, low, low
And I’m feeling like I don’t know life
I don’t know, know, know
There’s something in my head
Something haunting me
Something that I’d rather say
Goodbye, goodbyeIt’s another deception
It’s a voice that’s being cruel
It’s the predator deep insideYou meet a Bluebeard on the road
He’s saying hello, hello
And he shakes you by the hand
He says you’re gonna blow
Man you’re gonna blow
He’s a clever person my dear
He’s a clever one to fear
He’s the one that says don’t open up that doorIt’s a monster, I can tell you
It’s someone to be scared of
It’s the predator deep insideHe’s coming for you
He’s coming for you now
He’s coming for you now
He, he sounds a little scary
As he whispers, he tells you and you frownYou’re losing, losing your ground
You want to, move him out
Deny he’s there
But you can’t let out that he’s in your headIt’s the predator
It’s the predator who lives inside your headIt’s the predator inside you
It’s remarkable disguise–you
It’s the mask you won’t admit inside your headWalk with the man at night
He says he don’t know, know, know
And he’s fucking with your head
You don’t know, know, knowIt’s radio k-fuck
It’s coming in loud and clear
But the signals crossed
You can’t shut it off
And it knows no fearIt’s a monster
I can tell you
It’s someone to be scared of
It’s the predator deep insideIt’s not the sharks outside you
It’s not living -
Do you like where you’re living?
Do you like what you do?
Do you like what you’re seeing
When you’re lookin’ at you?
Do you like what you’re saying
When you open your face?
Do you got the right feeling?
Are you in the right place?Stealin’ a tusk from an elephant must make one feel creepy inside.
And although you’ll boast around the fire at night
That ghost will kick up a fight.
‘Be gone? Be gone?’, you scream
You’re just some elephant dream
I needed you like you needed me
People, they need piano keys.If you like where you’re living
If you like what you do
If you like what you’re seeing
When you’re lookin’ at you
If you like what you’re saying
When you open your face
Then you got the right feeling.
You’re in the right place.‘Is this right? Is this right?’
C’mon God answer tonight!
Is there some fee that you’ll charge me
For doin’ what you thought I might?
Once you’ve thought long and hard about itTell me if heads will roll
Once you’ve thought long and hard about it
Tell me ’cause I need to knowCause I like where I’m livin’
And I like what I do
And I like what I’m seein’
When I’m lookin’ at you . .
I still like what I’m saying
When I open my face.
I think I got the right feeling.
I think I’m in the right place.
I think I got the right feeling.
I think I’m in the right place. -
I’ve spent a lifetime crossing this culture
Your sea of hate
Others who found God, gray existing cold
Let’s all rejoice in the end times
Of sorrow and grief and an ocean of loveI can stare into a soul
I can stare into the sun
Yeah, I want my life to begin
All I have to do is let the right one inI’m only human sometimes
I am the king of disorder
I’m only human sometimes
The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonightI’m only human sometimes
I am the king of disorder
I’m only human sometimes
The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonightI’m not as ugly as I once was
I’m not as shameful as I used to be
Open your eyes, boy, open up the dream
Yeah, I want my life to begin
All I have to do is let the right one inI’m only human sometimes
I am the king of disorder
I’m only human sometimes
The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonightI’m only human sometimes
I am the king of disorder
I’m only human sometimes
The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonightI am usually distracted by the noise within my head
I have tried for so long to remove the pieces of clutter
But have found no solution, but to merely exist with these strangers
The mountains I move with one stroke of a pen are heavySoon I won’t have the strength in my bones to kill a fly
I need to leave this place, I need to leave this place
Surrounded by fear, engulfed by flames
Endorsed by the most putrid, disgusting
Despicable hatred that does exist, we can find our wayI’m only human, I’m just a lie
I’m only human sometimes
I’m only human, I’m just a lie
I’m only human sometimes -
