The Torch You Hold

i don't even care anymore.
how could i when i'm always fucking up.
you get mad at me then you screaming.
telling me it's all my fault.
maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
or maybe you just don't wanna listen.
oh you're doing this for attention.
oh you make it so obvious for me.

i'm at this point in my life

For the first time in my whole life, I know what I want to do.
                          -Neil Perry

vietra - a song i wrote inspired by Dead Poets Society (unreleased)

O Lord! Unto Thee I repair for refuge, and toward all Thy signs I set my heart. 
Whether traveling or at home, and in my occupation or in my work, I place my whole trust in Thee.

Grant me then Thy sufficing help so as to make me independent of all things, O Thou Who art unsurpassed in Thy mercy!

Repair For Refuge

Chords: E A D E

O SON OF UTTERANCE! Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth 
and My dominion perisheth not.  x3
If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain.

O Son Of Utterance

Chords: G C D

E te Atua! Arahina i ahau, 
tiakina ahau, whakamaramatia te rama o toku manawa 
kia meinga ahau hei whetu tiahoaho.  
Ko koe te kaha rawa, me te mana.
