Thankful

My last breaths greet me
Too scared to smile
Despite relative peace
I'll never live again
The spark at my fingertips
Slowly vanishes
In this season I Fall
No head up high for Spring
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


Laying in my last bed
Her hand overlaps mine
The soft whisper of serenity
The presence of family
Meets dimming life
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life
She praises me for the path
That I took on
In her warming embrace


In this cold empty place
Calmed by the grace
Of her warming embrace
I forget all the times
Where I felt hurt & fear
Darkening of the stars
Things fade to a blank
As my eyes see her face
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life
She praises me for the path
That I took on
In her warming embrace
The last thing that I see
All I could ever ask for
The face of the one who made me
The one who brought me here
Thankful for all my life


Lifted and no longer
Distraught
And my mind fades
Away

Strife

We don't need your cheap allegations
Just reap what you've sown and read your lessons
Mind over matter is what matters most
And for a better life for all let's make a toast

We don't need your bludgeoning lies
Cause unlike you we bare open minds
Polite or not, we're not blind friends
And if you must make it come it'll all end

You don't run our lives
You can't read our minds
We are free of your iron fist
And you will not be sorely missed
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life

We don't want your everlasting presence
Just accept this and you'll get a full sense
Mark our words you won't even last here
Cause if we're pushed we'll bring on the fear

We don't care for all of the pulled strings
Since you arrived we've felt nothing but stings
Our hearts are set in stone and will never change
And if it must be so then there'll be a war we'll wage

You don't run our lives
You can't read our minds
We are free of your iron fist
And you will not be sorely missed
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Mark my life
Leave by strife

Mark my life
(Your strife)
Mark my life
(Your life)
Mark my life
(Your strife)
Mark my life
(Your life your strife)

So go ahead and try to pull the strings!
Never again will you overcome me!
Leave us
Or die
