I Plea Capo 4, C, D7, G, B7, Am
Oh, it’s all the same,
But only I can tell
I quit playing the game
I quit ringing the bell
These are sturdy boards
They don’t speak the creak
They don’t echo the lord
But they can steady the weak
Don’t say it’s nothing, but hopeless range
Don’t make me into something I can’t change
Oh, it’s strange
Oh, its been days
Since I last was lost
Whoever built this maze
Forgot to build walls that cross
Meet me at the end
Tell me how to leave
Is it around the bend?
Or is it where I grieve?
Don’t say it’s nothing I can’t unsee
Don’t make it into something where you take a knee
Oh, I plea

Not Too Late

Its not too late
To leave me here
Though you said your vows
I’m still in fear
Of making the best of the worst
Like I have always done
The ever changing shape
Of of a falling tear
I can’t count on the how
Because the why is your peer
And I won’t be taking charge
Of things not foretold
You say the worst has come
But I am begging fold
It’s not you, it’s just how it is
I am beginning to fold

I'll Rush To You

I don’t believe in much, but I believe in you
I'm bit out of touch, but I’m in touch with you
I’ve never been too clutch, but I’ll be clutch for you
I’ve never been a crutch, but I’ll be a crutch for you
I’m not one to hush, but I’ll hush to hear you
I rarely ever blush, but I’ll blush for you
I'm not one to gush, but I’ll gush about you
I'm never in a rush, but I'll rush to you

The Crows

Theres a shade in my lung
That beats down from my tongue
My voice scratches from the run
Of notes that that I’ve done
I’m stuck here in this place
My fall from grace
Enough about saving face
Mirrors take up too much space
I’m backed against the wall
This ceilings low, I’m too tall
To fit here, to hear the call
A sick twist on it all
I’m losing sleep from bad dreams
It’s always what it seems
Feed to the crows on the beams
Open ears; hear the screams

The Stage

magic is a ruse
there is no train to everlast
so dance like the dancer
i know you are
magic is a ruse
leap to pose
the crowds will cheer
as you bend and bow
magic is a ruse
when reality grooves
to your calloused feet
so fresh upon the stage
