I Am the Cynic

I am the cynic, in living I find the little signs of death
A critic. These crickets, they chirp and chip my eyes away
I've bled out all my lies, my thighs hold all the lines
The scars of petty fate and chance
It's not the first nor last time
Time changed the people inside you
Yet never really changed, itself
The tricks that your mind played
caught up to slay the turtle shell
You put the things you loved on top
But they couldn't be held up
Collapsed as nothing's prioritized
Everything's denied
You took advantage of your time
Thought it sweet
But here's your prize
Kneel and weep
I am the cynic, I've fallen
And nothing's going on my way
And I've let go of spirit
But Spirit won't You change my ways
Oh, won't You come and change my ways
Won't You come and change my ways
Won't You come and change my ways
Won't You come and change my ways
Won't You come and change

Let Me Down

Top of the day as I mop up all that's left
Shards of the glass that I cracked over my head
Haven't been the same man since she left
But I can say that I'm better
For worse I guess
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't hear a sound
Don't let me down
Officer, please don't shoot though I have sinned
Many a time but I swear that grace is given
Come and sit with me
Aren't you my kin?
We can sit and talk till the break of dawn
Or we can start over again
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Won't make a sound
Don't let me
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
When I'm alone I think of you
I've got no home but I have you

Though the road that separated us
Was only a short distance for me to run
I ran to you every other day to satisfy your taste
And every time you smiled, I smiled
and when you'd cry, I'd cry
Synchronized as if our hearts were one another's
But when I closed my eyes to rest
Woke up and you weren't there
Only one thing I can say, one thing I can say
I tried to be everything you liked
But if there's really no more life in us
I'll have to say goodbye
Talk is cheap, but words were all I clung to
But I should've seen the red flags all around me
I ran away from home in hopes
that you would find me there
Only one thing left to say, one thing I can say
I tried to be everything you liked
But if there's really no more life in us
I'll have to say goodbye
I still care for ya, I still pray for ya
That you would see yourself with eyes of love
And try to see
I still care for ya, I still pray for ya
That you would see yourself with eyes of love
And try again with me
And I'll try for He
said to stand up right
And if there's really no more life in us
I'll have to say goodbye
for he is everything you like
And if there's really no more life in us
I'll have to say goodbye
