It feels good when you capture what you are told you can't catch
It feels good when your able to fully trust another you just met
It feels good when your faith is strong
It feels good when you realize what has been there all along

God, and it feels good, God

When I become humble, I finally feel God, It's good
When I no longer stumble, I'm giving thanks to God, so good
When I am finally living in love, loving God, loves good
When I can really let go, and know God, I'm good

Understanding the reasons, believing beyond the intellects grasp

Knowledge is one thing, it's useful to a certain point
Giving us comfort and reasons which logically backup what we do and see
Knowledge explains to us the past events, the present event, and future events
Knowledge demands our interaction, sometimes logic doesn't support the ways we get knowledge
Inspiration comes, it has built great things, brought great concepts
There is rarely Knowledge or Logic which rationalizes the activities which bring inspiration
We jump from a string of Knowledge deduced with the intellect, into God, then hop back on another string
Our Mind is only islands of Intellect, yet they float on the ocean of God
Know everything, not just a little, accept all Knowledge, let it all in, see God in everything

God, and it feels good, God

It feels good when you jump into the unknown
it feels good when your able to love each mother like your own
It feels good when your with God
It feels good when you know God 

Don't be a know it all
just let God know you
and you'll know all Knowledge 
through God

There's nothing there to save you
when the state threatens you
your alone at their mercy
they have you in their fist
it's too late to try and change things
when they already have marked you
someone who cannot contribute themselves
to the whole which your part of

Behind the voice
The one who listens when I hear
Thinker of the thoughts
Gives forth desire when I heal

A constant I can't control
The rock on which I stand
Always there in the end when I land

Knows no sense of time
Always exists after the storm
Beyond the simple events daily life serves
something I never forget that's warm

The one I think I'm fighting
Always right without bias
Often ignored and covered up
Wanting to break the surface

One I've known all along
Surprised when I meet myself again
Not realizing I've been here all along

Trying to fill up the empty space
Searching for something that feels good
Realizing it's already full of love
Always Loving in wait to forgive the misunderstood

For your fear is so thin it can be dispelled from the ethers so simply
You are not entrapped or lost, but right in the heart where you belong
free in every direction to love and feel all you wish for and desire
Yet it is not what you necessarily know currently as your desires
it it the thirst you have had before you could even speak a single word
that is the one true source that will fullfill you and give you true love
Everything around you is just an extension of you, and it all is yours
you are not separate or alien to it, you are part of if completely
Everything around you is your heart, mind, body and it belongs to you
and you truely love it even if you don't know that as a thought
it is deep within you, the true thirst for the origin of your mind and soul
just hold out your hands and let it be given to you, trust yourself
fear is nothing but an illusion that vanishes so easily
listen and drop all negative energy or thoughts you have manifested
they are not even in existance and you know that, it is so hard to create them
because they don't really exist when you sit still in silence and hear
feel taste smell, let the earth touch your tongue and accept the senses 
because the truth is right there all the time and always has been, always will
Just believe in yourself, your family, your friends, no matter what they have done
Just know that the answers are there for what you feel is wrong, there is a way
Just feel the here and now you are in, breathe it and taste it, smell it
Just rest on the rock you have always rested on, and always will
Just see the light that always warms you and comforts you when you acknowledge it
Now show it to the world, show the light you are, let it be known, spread the WORD.


Chris

I woke up this morning and thought about how I only do  it to myself
how we all do it to ourselves
how the country does it to itself
when we ask why does that outside process work so inefficiently
why does our government or leaders seem to always choose the wrong way
it's the same reason as when we choose the wrong way
we are always working uphill against ourselves
we know what we should do, we know how to get it done, make it happen
but we seem to always enjoy throwing out a stone to hit, some obstacle 
we choose to make it hard because we think if it isn't hard, it'd be boring
we are afraid of the silence of the finish line
we think the other side of the finish line is a void of emptyness
we are afraid all our loved ones are not going to be there too
when we see injustice we often feel very disgusted
we try to pinpoint who and what caused it, how to attack them
we want to destroy the injustice, find the person who caused this
yet it's really the same exact reasons and person who we call our own negatives
our own weakness and desire for that which hurts us, yet we do it anyways
we are the enemy we are fighting, we can make a difference too
with that there is power, that is the connection to the problems you possess
you think that you must attack others weakness
when you let your own weakness run rampant and free
focus on yourself, love yourself, learn to love others through loving yourself
show others your strength, help them fight their weakness instead of fighting them
just love, have faith, and when feeling like it's all up against you let go and see where you fall
it's a softer landing when you give in and you will be surprised at how it's not a fall at all

Chris

Filling up the space is so hard
but emptying out the glasses sees far
thoughts among us wonder about the empty streets
What will we do when there isn't a place to be
evening runs into the night to persuade the dawn
and together again we find something to hold on
filling up the space is so hard
what games should we play from a far
touching some truth or revelation of our senses
getting busy means some bought time till the next empty space
fill the space with seeds and allow the growth
will the power to crack the code and escape the concepts
walls and ceiling disappear from view as we see the sky
space and void give us vision
filling up the void is so hard
loving is easy though

Chris

Time
===

You try to erase time
all this time you spent
wasted now since it's impossible
to stop the letters that you sent
we'll try to reverse the clocks
and recapture the space
wanting to fill it up once more
but we'll only find one lonely place
they only will give us today
this moment here and now
it's never ending an open way
for us to have our dreams live out
it's lonely living in the past
full of old regrets and sorrow
but you can always be right here
there will always be another tomorrow


===
Future
===
our future hopes
out heavens fly high
the clouds will part
open the heavenly sky
and the stars will soar
we'll sing so high
the colors will roar
our freedom will fly
the dreams will overflow
we will ride them proud
familys will join
to finally sing out loud
love will prevail
it'll scream from all
blow away the hate
that made us fall

===
The Past
===
pictures tell an old tale
that now is past
like win in a ships sails
once it blew
and did it's deed
but where does it go
vanishes like seed
cracks in the wall
cry out to us now
we paint them away
but they break right out
our prisons hold
back what we want to hide
but it's always there
right on the other side
lets take these pictures
and change the story
no one will know
except us

==
Action
===
promises are cheap
it's action that speaks
wisdom is sold
for free on the streets
but behind these walls
only the devil sleeps
until you learn
only yourself you'll meet
adventure is overrated
it's the thought that counts
you can learn it all
and resell it out till you bounce
a check or balance
of clocks unwound
losing time
you forget the sounds

===
Forward
===
I'll push forward
I will not look back
I'll make this a new day
with no regrets
I'll be reborn
each and every sunrise
I'll remember the day
as at night feel the moon rise
I'll learn from the past
yet not let it bind
I'll always look forward
with a child's eyes
I'll always dream
and see what is not yet
I'll always hope
for the very best


===
Lost
===

Ideas come crashing
towards my eyes
hear them in my ears
see them in the open sky

trying to outline one
before they disappear
like a butterfly in a net
once caught it's no where near

the beauty that it once was
as you trap it with thought
pin it down in your parameters
tie the line so taught

make it fit into your jar
it'll only live for a day
a faded ghost of the past
once flew but has been slain

and all your language translations
are only good for a time
soon we'll no longer understand
exactly what you meant with rhyme

it's all a losing battle
but on continuously fought
over and over we try again
but in the net of time we're caught

nothing lasts forever
except the observer in his cage
always repeating these actions
remote robotic and insane

and so we coat it with a cover
so sweet and so sublime
once repeated over and over
lose the message between the lines

memories are always just
seem to pick apart the truth
like putty we just mold them
till they rot away like youth

we just hope to forget the present
want to know the past
wish we saw the future
watch the clocks as time speeds fast

there's nothing to grab onto
to hold onto this thought
just have to keep them coming
or else we will get lost

====
Me
====
but my eyes are claiming the rooms in front of me
yet I don't really feel it, it's like I'm a ghost
and my mind keeps wandering around what it fears most

So there's a million things to say, but somehow nothings in tune
They all just seem so hollow and empty as the room
yet there's so much treasure and hope to be seen
I just look right through it with my head in a dream

I ought to give up, just erase it all
everything in my memory and let the waters fall
come crashing down upon me and wash me away
but somehow I feel like there's something still to say

I wait and I ponder what to think about next
because the notes have all went to bed and my melodies at rest
but my conscious still stirs and won't go to sleep
and I pray for that saying that talks about my soul to keep

So I just remember the days that I will someday know
because it's all a circle and someday they'll regrow
I know that and pray that it all will come true
because there's always another me, but never another you

Maybe I've become jaded, or maybe it's a design
Perhaps I'm complacent or else just in time
I think I have fallen into your trap
like the possum drawn to the headlights, lovin the last breath

So we both enjoy misery and pain, yes we do
It is something I've hid from myself through and through
isn't it better now this way
because what could more forfill us than this rot and decay

Yes I want to be hurt, it's the only thing that satisfies
And I do want to hurt, just look into my eyes
Maybe it's the thrill or the relief when it's through
Or the confusion and control, how it clouds the truth

Just like a slug, all covered with salt
enjoying the death and destruction that haunt
and taking it all in like a breath of fresh air
giving and recieving our escape as cab fare

So I guess it's all just a game and I never win
but I'm so hard headed I try to play again

yet nothing is able to ever repeat
the truth is I think this time we're both beat


===
Lightening
===
electricity fro the sky
you can touch it by reaching high
if you believe you can fly
it's all so easy once you try

I see the spark that's in your eye
I feel the electricity deep inside
firm against the earth as you sigh
we come up together like the tide

conductivity as we touch our minds
reactivity from the timing slides
together burn desire energy colides
exploding electricity bangs and rides

lightening from the earth to the sky
returning the yourning we held inside
building up until shooting it so high
light overflows all around us as we fly

====
Something New
====

It's been awhile
probably way too long
for the ngiht and the stars
to shine any other way

yet they try to fly
still want to catch our eyes
they won't stop and still go on
there's just no other way

so far away from us
they'll never touch here again
but the light it still arrives
in such a saved eternal way

always another view
maybe they are right here with us
in our hearts hoping that they image always stays

years apart never meant nothing
time is useless to describe the love
there is only a void between them and us
of nothingness that so easily colapses away

combining in love
the search is always over
before it has begun
an illusion of space which we believe we've become

trying to tiptoe lightly
not disturbing this place
that can fill with false confusion
up until all the outlines are retraced

reach out to the stars
we both see in the sky
echos and reflections
both looking at the exact same sight

a past we cannot resolve
delicate paradox we hold
present realities we live
hidden mitogether or apart
energy and light are the same
we should love ourselves like each other
in the dark we should never be afraid

we must do this for one another
it is only ourselves we can save
be the light to every other
help all those along our way

and when the times occur that we break down
and cannot hide our pain
refuse to succomb to the fear
we will make it through the rain

let ourselves shed tears
refuse to accept any chains
fight the same together or apart
noble and bold one in the same

confirm one another in our quest
pray for one anotehr to pull through
look up to the stays we can see
and know there's so many others right here too
hidden mysteries we hide so well

together or apart
energy and light are the same
we should love ourselves like each other
in the dark we should never be afraid

we must do this for one another
it is only ourselves we can save
be the light to every other
help all those along our way

and when the times occur that we break down
and cannot hide our pain
refuse to succomb to the fear
we will make it through the rain

let ourselves shed tears
refuse to accept any chains
fight the same together or apart
noble and bold one in the same

confirm one another in our quest
pray for one anotehr to pull through
look up to the stays we can see
and know there's so many others right here too

===
Holds
===
It holds me down
till I give up
and as I die
The guards go away
the prison disappears
I no longer feel the chains

They cannot touch me here

I breath once again
my spirit rises up
I put back on my crown

I Taste lifes blood in my cup

I hear the sound of love sigh
finally I see through the lie

They cannot touch me now

So I wait for the end of the day
when these thorns are no more
we will join together as one with love

We will finally be holding each other up
