No Faith

Blank stare;
Sleepy gaze;
Unimpassioned response;
Dropped head;
Busy hands;
Tell me, how much time have I lost?

What did you think I was offering?
You can't possibly be as fake as you seem;

Bridges crossed together;
Somethings I will not ask;
I see you give attention to other people;

//I know you. You've got no faith in me;
//Some things in life are just that easy to see;
//I know you've got many reservations;
//So many hesitations to heed;
//But stand back, watch out, hold on and get ready;
//Because I'm going to make you believe;

We could go so far if you weren't in the way;
And for the promise of 'us' I would carry the pain;
I hope I sit in your stomach for a long, long time;
Like sour milk or rotted meat or anything that reminds;
Not of the past;
But of our future-unwritten;
Because it's truly unwritten;

Unconscious attitude;
Untapped amplitude;
I'm so sick of giving you the reasons;

//I know you. You've got no faith in me;
//Some things in life are just that easy to see;
//I know you've got many reservations;
//So many hesitations to heed;
//But stand back, watch out, hold on and get ready;
//Because I'm going to make you believe;

Dream state;
Please wake up;
Time is late;
Don't wait, love;

I am;
I am a piece of light;
I am the son of life;
I am the seed of Christ;
That means an end to strife;
Witness my self-wrought plight;
Lay down my upturned knife;
I am a heart contrite;
I am a soul in flight;

I am opportunity personified;
I am the hope of man embodied and individually ratified;
How can you stand there saying you're somehow satisfied?
Well I demand more!
Fools and whores is what we bore;
When we settle to crawl;
And we were destined to soar;
But wait, there's more;
