Failure is Giving Up

Try

Take a chance and bend from the waist

To see you in that water a perfect misshapen shape

Let go with everything you have to give

A gift is useless left in ribbons and bows

Get dirty and bloody, never stopping 

Just because the rocks beneath are sharp

Take yourself seriously, less and less

So a smile that flirts with your lips

Will reach your eyes and change your world

Your mind needs a face lift, so up with it

Paint yourself with secrets and dreams

Light the candle and burn the bundle of fear

It’s heavy in your chest, but powerless when you believe

To see you in the sky reflecting heaven’s face

Take a chance and stand up 

Tick Tock

TIME

Sixty seconds, one minute

My hands can’t hold the time

It takes for those two hands

To tick away another moment

Another breath I can’t get back

Will you promise me what you can’t see?

Will you believe in me what you can’t be?

Will you trust in me what you can’t speak?

Fog is creeping over my mind

But I fight it while I love it

Because the ocean needs a partner

And you with your blurry notes

Can make me dance like no one else

Will you promise me what you can’t see?

Will you believe in me what you can’t be?

Will you trust in me what you can’t speak?

One hour, sixty minutes

I’ll hold the door, hold it open for you

Press my foot into that small space

Where everything escapes and I kick myself

For not using all of me to block the tide

  

Will you promise me what you can’t see?

Will you believe in me what you can’t be?

Will you trust in me what you can’t speak?
