My spirit is burnt and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less I understand
Once so found, now I'm so lost
I ask no questions
It's just one more bridge to cross
Always black and white
Wouldn't change even if I could
I'll take what I'm handed
Whether it's damned or if it's good
If...
Oh, father father
Tell me a story, tell me what to do
Oh, doctor doctor
Is there a cure for the young man's broken blues
And he said...
Love comes and goes, everybody knows
There ain't no such thing as an everlasting love
It comes and goes
Oh, darling darling
I've seen the look of a sadness in...
I know your hiding places
And I know your every move
'Cuz girl, I've been lonely too
And I seen a million faces
Been to a million places
But girl, there's no one quite like you
And I've gone through hell & high water
Washed away with the tide
I can lose a damn war all by myself
If you were on...
On one hand I can relate, on the other I see value in the venom. Peaceful intent is peaceful intent, discipline is discipline and training ourselves through hardship with aim to remain peaceful until unable, seems appropriate for conduct and for justification. The more time spent making peace...
Saturday night, I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singin' a song
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
My...
This has been my struggle and for many years. I have gone so far as to call it teaching victim mentality as an honorable thing and by doing so, teaching predators that creating victims is not only warranted but rewarding for the victims. The only way I could ever stay true to turning the cheek...
I agree and I follow similar precepts. For me, its training in temperance, patience, steadfastness, and resolve, but not without acknowledging the mechanics working in the background, those of illumination, justice and/or injustice made known, and the efforts made to remain peaceful even...
I've struggled with this for years. What does it mean to love your enemies? I don't know. Is it about general human compassion, empathy or sympathy? I've made habit of turning my cheek and while this may not prevent assault, it does help keep me guiltless, almost like an insurance policy for...
When the world knows more kindness, more are kind.
When the world knows more bitterness, more are bitter.
When the world knows more violence, more are violent.
When the world knows more charity, more are charitable.
It's when our virtues are betrayed by those whom they are extended to,
that...
Because the bible says we're saved by grace and not works. Works alone aren't enough to save us. We need grace for that and also faith because we couldn't boast knowing that the grace will be available, and it is required for salvation because works aren't enough, but I can bet ya quite a few...
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running...
Matthew 16:25-26
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
I've spent my entire...
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;

Is the wolf wrong for protecting his pack from predators? How about a she bear who protects her cubs? Some people sign up because it's in them to be that type of individual. I respect that type of character. Jesus wasn't much different. He was one who gave his all for his friends, only he...
Heads held high
Contemplating fight or flight
You ask me why
I say the answer lies inside
Though the moon outruns the sun
She reflects her light
... find the strength to become
A storm that never loses speed
When it's said and done
You become the wolf you feed
Can you feel that?
Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant, I kneel (will you give it to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
No, no, no, I ain't lyin'. No
I don't care if you don't want me
'Cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow
Yeah, I'm yours, yours, yours
My home is kind
Man, it pays to be blind
Well, I promise to forget you
Run on, yeah
No swallowed pride
No conspiracy lies
Oh, broken promise a virtue
Run on...
The passion that once consumed me has turned to ashes on the ground
All that I've been given, I give it to you (I give it to you)
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth)
You're just as broken as I am
But you're a way better liar
You taught me how to play this game
You told me you'd take me higher
And now there's fire in the skies
And I am loosing my sleep
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times where I could not find a friend
but I always thought that I would see you again
