An almanac awry

unprecedented
and no explanation
you're reaching up with your own two hands
and catching air as an explanation
twenty years long, and twenty years wide
but still there's no answers just yet as to whys

a warm, summer breeze breathes promise amid the winter
but these shifting, trembling floors do not feel and don't remember
there is promise in the earth, as it waits for stronger tides
the tides of war and peace can be held by the heart of a child
no one ever heard of this
but we all thought we knew
it's unprecedented what You're doing
unprecedented -- just like You

Half truth, half you

There's nothing more to say,
Nothing new, just another day
You won't call,
No, and I won't answer.
Did we always know,
In the end we'd only hear
"I told you so's"
And how everything just seems
Like someone's sick joke?

No, I can't,
I can't un-do what's been done
I close my eyes,
You're the only one,
And I just wish sometimes you wouldn't stay away.

Are you happy?
Did it make you feel better,
To throw your punches,
While I was on my knees
So lay it all on me,
What does it matter anyway?

Say, goodybye,
Sing it softly speaking this lullaby,
You know we both sound best together.
