you don't have to runaway, darling stay
stay right here in my arms, i'll keep you safe
i know you've got those ghosts inside your head
and that heavy weight stuck inside your chest,
my dear we all do
i've got ghosts just like you
all your scars make you the work of art that you are
you don't have to hide no more

i need you here by my side
you're my safety, my refuge
my strength and my life
in this dark, dark valley
you're my sole source of light
i need you

the february snow is what made me leave you
so many years ago
i walked right out your door
in search of something more
i thought i needed more
i searched for a thousand miles
finding nothing new
everything i need
i had already in you
but the very thing that chased me away
has led me back to you
the snow showed me the truth
i’ll never find warmth without you
You led me back to you

i know you're there

i’ve been clinging to heaven but my G-d
it still hurts like hell
i’ve been searching for your presence
digging nothing but empty wells
my father, my father,
why have you forsaken me
this darkness is so heavy
i can barely breathe
G-d i know that you’re there
but i’m starting to wonder
if you actually care
because i’ve run away too many times
to be called your son
i’ve slapped your face again and again
i’m not worthy of your love
you say those holes in your hands and your feet
you say you did that all just for me
help me believe it
i will be still

dust

i’m just a speck of dust in the void
but still you know my voice
you are infinite
my mind so limited
who am i
my life so slight
just a whisper
a spark in the night
take me up to the stars
i want to know where you are
i can’t comprehend infinity
but i know that’s exactly where you’ll be
my life it cries “brevity!”
and i’m crushed by the gravity that my footprints
will have been so light
my life it cries “vanity!”
i know that without you
there’s no meaning
