Waiting for the miracle

Close your eyes now
Relax and I might let you loose
You can put your thumb back in your mouth
Once you head is in the noose
It might ease your pain
Release the chemicals in your brain
Make you feel like you're home again
Where you can tell the truth
Make the coffee strong
And the belly full
Pay the rent on time
Waiting for the miracle
Before you leave this place
Without a word and without a trace
You can save your ass or just save face

The city
05:01

|

All the colors fading into grey
Pull a string and push it all away
Right beside the Bible on the bed
A blister where you kissed her on the forehead
Tell me, how am I supposed to find The City
I remember I could see the marquee
But all the other streets were foggy
Now, how am I supposed to find The City
Sinking like the tide into the sand
Under what I think I understand
Echoes empty shell under the sun
I wonder was it thunder or a shot-gun

Hours of darkness
Waiting to be set free
You were waiting there for me
It’s been so long
since I’ve looked at you
with new eyes
Jesus died for our sins
so don’t pay no mind to this trouble we’re in
Jesus died on the cross
so everything gained is meant to be lost
Punch-drunk, fist of a King
A pair of black eyes, for his praises I sing
Brighter than the sun in my eyes
Together we stand in the tide

You sit at the table feeling hollow
I sit outside and watch the grass grow
The coffee's on, the baby's crying
There surely must be something somewhere
but I don't know what and I don't know where
Just point the way and I'll start driving
Hole in the sky
on the fourth of July

He got on the bus holding a suitcase
A look of pensiveness on his face
I moved toward the window making a space
He sat next to me and said:
"Excuse me for bleeding all over your shoes"
He needed a bath, all dressed in tatters
Can't put together what's been shattered
He asked for the time, as if it mattered
Rose from his seat and said:
"Excuse me for bleeding all over your shoes"
He left his suitcase there on the seat
I knew it wrong but I took a peek
A little dog wrapped in a bed sheet
Dead as the night is black

I tried to sleep
My soul to keep
But I let it slip away
Now I want
and I need
and I beg you please
Don't leave me on my knees
I'll try again
if you just say when
This time I'll get it right
You're right
You win
So lock me in
and throw away the key
You better suck it down
You better take it in
You better play the game
You're never gonna win
You better give it up
Get on your fucking knees
and take it like man
Take everything you see
and turn it upside-down
Turn it inside-out
Light it up in flames
Burn it to the ground
Turn it into dust
and blow it all away
You better write this down
Do everything I say

Tell me your secret
How long have you been weightless?
Don't let me keep it
You know I'll only waste it
Don't look away
I'm so afraid that you're not really here
Don't walk away
I'm so afraid that you might disappear

It started out as a feeling
A tiny spot on the ceiling
It spread out in every direction
She cried out by nobody listened
It's only begging the question
I'd tell you but I think it's over your head
Above you
She struggles keeping her head up
She can't see be seen through her makeup
She left him still holding a secret
She swore that she never would repeat it
The devil sleeps in the shadows
I'd show you but I think it's over your head
Above you
Don't say you'll stay with me always
I know it can be over

Isaac Dust Las Cruces, New Mexico
I’ve been keeping an audio journal of sorts for years now, recording whenever I can find the time and inspiration. Some recordings are unedited song ideas. Others are musical experiments or times when I’m just goofing around. Many are more developed song ideas that may or may not continue to evolve. Hopefully, I’m getting better as I go along. ... more
