  • I built a fortess


    with a hundred thousand faces


    i’ll keep it safe


    with a hundred thousand more


    but these masks are wearing thin


    as you draw me in


    i spent my time


    on the empty and the fleeting


    i spent my life


    on much less than what i’d dreamed


    but i’m reaching out to you


    to make me new


    Because i am just a beggar here at your door


    i am just a shipwreck here on your shore


    i come empty handed


    ready to see


    your life in me is changing who i’ve been


    to who i need to be


     


    You tell my story


    as you sift between the pages


    i feel redemption


    in the space between each turn


    could you take me in your arms


    and tell it just once more


    Because i am just a beggar here at your door


    i am just a shipwreck here on your shore


    i come empty handed


    ready to see


    your life in me is changing who i’ve been


    to who i need to be

  • Fancy meeting you here. Care for a ride home?

    Yea, so that was weird. Maybe some other day if you aren’t busy we could catch up?
