Saw it

BIBLE & THE GUN

silence like a ray of sunshine
let me bathe beneath your beauty warmth and glow
draws me ever to adore you
like i once before knew
you were mine and i was yours

you never cease to answer me
your by my side again

Oh take this heart and break it open
fill it with your ocean
flowing over all my pain
and place a seal on my life
and heal the hurt and the lies
that try to bind me up again
                  find me out
                  

hide me deeper in the quiet
till im far away from all the stony ground
lifted on the highest mountain
joy it is resounding oh the perfect sound

they try to find me
they try to bind me
the shame and lies of fears and dread

Julia's song for week 7 of #songaweek2020. 

Oh baby you will never be 
a tragedy for me, you’re rock solid
I’m wind and wave and energy
I come and go but I always flow to you
Dah dah dah . . .

Lay your weary head down darlin in my ever-loving arms
You’re home, you’re home

We’re old enough to tell the truth
yeah, we’re past our precious youth, we’ve got grit now 
we know each other well enough
to know we’ll never know enough to know
Dah dah dah . . .

Let me lay my weary head down darlin in your ever-loving arms
You’re home, you’re home

Every time I fall, I fall on you
and feel that steady beat of your heart

Hey honey, hope I’ll always be
a melody you want stuck in your head 
I love it when you sing along
cause every song sounds better with a friend
Dah dah dah . . .

Lay your weary head down darlin in my ever-loving arms
You’re home, you’re home

You're Home

"Bitter"

So, so, so, so, so, so...

Bitter.
I am bitter.
Said I’m Bitter about the way, all the words you tried to say,
Just weren't right.
Bitter.
Yes, I am bitter.
Bitter about the way, you just walked away. 
Now I can’t stand the sight…

Of me in the mirror
Am I seeing clear, or,
Am I just twisting the knife?
But I can’t bring myself
To think of something else.
No, nothing about this is right.

I’m so, so, so, so, so, so,
So, so, so, so, so, so…

Bitter.
Yes, it’s bitter.
The taste in my mouth today,
From begging you to stay.
But you still said goodbye.
And I am bitter.
So fucking bitter.
Bitter in every way, never felt so betrayed,
Pent up inside...

of a house, full of fear.
Was a home with you here.
O, how I tried.
I have to let go
Deep down, I know,
The love has died.
And it feels... 

So, so, so, so, so, so,
So, so, so, so, so, so... Bitter.

Bitter

its been so long since i have heard from you
the silence has been agony
I dont know what youve been going through
what kind of personal tragedy
for so long for so long for so long

i keep searching for the reason we went wrong
the answer still  is a mystery
and i cant help but wonder  what ive done
ive been 
going over old history

for so long for so long for so long

put it in a song
write it down
file it away/
its safer that way/
leave it far far away

for so long
for so long
for so long

its been so long since i have heard from you
the silence has been agony

so long

"Lookin' Forward To Missin' You" (200308, #323)

 * Co-written with @finolamusic, @emmagale, & @user-915309055 *

It's all I ever think about
Can't believe I'm gonna' say it out loud
Avoiding your gaze and I cant take the sound of the silence

Doesn't matter who was wrong
What's important is I'm almost gone
And this time around you ain't gonna' see me cryin'

You're probably gonna' ask me to stay
Save your breath there ain't nothin' to say

Now I'm drinkin' that bottle of red you were saving
Thinkin' 'bout the way I always hated
Those little white lies it's time to face the truth

Sick and tired of waitin' on you to call
Tonight I'm sayin' to hell with it all
Been a long time comin' but I finally know what to do
I'm lookin' forward to missin' you

Used to be easy, used to be sweet
Now we're headin' down a one way street
Wrapped up in a moment but it disappeared

We knew that it was comin' to this
Never mind that goodbye kiss
Only sayin' this once gonna' make it clear

Spent so long circling the drain
We had it all before we threw it away

Now I'm drinkin' that bottle of red you were saving
Thinkin' 'bout the way I always hated
Those little white lies it's time to face the truth

Sick and tired of waitin' on you to call
Tonight I'm sayin' to hell with it all
Been a long time comin' but I finally know what to do
I'm lookin' forward to missin' you

And if it makes you feel any better
There was a time it felt like forever
We had some good times but forget about them
It'll never be like that again
