once again, mr. avary.













***cue romantic, expectant piano. makes you feel like something is coming

stop the press, everything a mess,
you can look alive but you are not at rest...
and ideas are flowin through your headamillionmilesanhour while lying in your bed a lucid life you never though you'd lead

you're workin everyday, are you workin just to bleed?
i know, i know i know i know i know.





starin at the names of the famed that are dipped in gold...
you're feeling you deserve what you heard, but it doesn't go that way....

the tongues of men and angels i speak but lack love
OH LOVE, WILL I STAB YOU IN THE BACK?
workin everyday i'm afraid i forgot to show what's most important.


LOVE


here i am.
dear Lord! tasting hints of fame... i don't want it anymore if it's not you that i gain
wanna fall at your feet, don't wanna fall from your peace, i understand.

have you ever been the man that ran when you knew that god was talkin?
have you ever heard his voice through the noise and just let it drift away?

the tongues of men and angels i speak but lack love
OH LOVE, WILL I STAB YOU IN THE BACK?
how come i go with mine instead of yours when yours is always right?
i'm sorry
just pour into me


LOVE


here i am!!

dear Lord! tasting hints of fame... i dont want it anymore if it's not you that i gain
wanna fall at your feet, dont wanna fall from your peace.
i understand.

the
heart at rest
is harder now, don't let it go away.
hard earned pay or hard earned pain, right now they're just the same
what's the use, why work so hard, when it's not what you crave?
when what you need is

LOVE.

this song is clearly about God, when listened to. but i think when i was writing it down, while listening i mean, i managed to make it about something else at times. not on purpose. it's just how it felt when i was writing it down. it was supposed to be a direct "from my ears to the page" interpretation. i just needed to get it down.
there's the magic of music once again.
PLUS the magic of punctuation.
plus the magic of this man, doing what he loves.

  1. i have a few things to say.
    a) bryce is AMAZING. of men and angels blew me away. i'm glad you like it.
    b) this is probably creepy that i'm on your blog. but it's your fault, ali. it is. you linked it on your facebook page and you're just irresistible and i couldn't resist stalking you.
    c) i'm having wayyyy too much fun feeding your fish. it's really addicting and i've done it a lot. if they're anything like real goldfish they will be exploding within the hour.
    just so you know.
