"When it comes to the bottom line, it's about choice though we all talk the talk, our walk shows of what we forsake, we've discarded our lives, what really matters, leaving them empty instead of taking it back as we should, we turn and flee How many Fathers now, have run away? leaving desperate lives behind, caught up in the fray how can you leave what's most precious of all behind? yet we do it every day, our own blood, our own kind children given half a chance with half of their home there and they use their whole life searching for what wasnt there its more and more frequent, from day to day, being selfish and stubborn, determined to do it "your way" and there's more and more children, yet less fathers to stay your supposed to be a sanctuary for them to confide, yet you only made one for yourself, because its easeir to hide you can run from responsibility but its always gonna be there you cruelly reminded them early how life isn't fair so fathers, make it a little bit closer to fair now is always the time to pick up the pieces swallow your pride, its not too late to stop all the grieving come home to your children, Fathers, though it may be hard but the best things don't come easy, its time you mended the scars. So come home.

We see a child's faith, and look at it as naivety that they only haven't faced disappointment in their life yet I envy them, having so much trust in things unseen we should be jealous of their wonderment envy their courage, admire their strength oh to be a child again I long for that feeling, ever joyous at all things new instead of approaching the unfamiilar with disdain as we do now, afraid of change, inflexible to rearrange their wililngness and zeal, so much appeal to have that child like faith again i would give anything

Scarlet 05:08
how deep was it? pierced in your hands and feet? suffocating yet you still cried out forgive them And what’s more is that if you lived through it all you would have went through more for me would have died a thousand times for me I should be the one with metal in my hands I should be the one with splinters in my back I should be the one with a circle of pain on my head Yet to You We’re all worth it. You spilled out your blood scarlet spots of love cascading from that tree the red stain of your mercy washes me clean how can I compare? to this display of mercy what have i done to deserve this scarlet gif of love? nothing this scarlet gift of love does not compare to me I want to see this world through your eyes I want to show them all Your love make truth of, all these lies Who am I to compromise Your love? Sometimes we try to widen Your narrow road Who am I to do that? And be scared of what others think After what you did for us Being ridiculed is an honor

about

This is a poetry-music album concept, and either is a song based on a poem I've writtten, or inspired by one. Each song that came directly from a written poem will be accompanied by the words on the info page. Unlike the focus for most of my other songs, this album is stepping away from "unsettling and creepy" to a more "sad and dramatic" tone. As always, I want my music to evoke emotion, and dramatic sounds can be more flexible to the image they give being more general.
