You can believe in rage and conflict
Those are the ways of old
You can believe that confrontations
Make a man brave and bold
You can believe in the language of violence
That ever has existed
You can measure your life by how many conquests
Of which you life has consisted
You can believe in the primal easy path
That has always been the clearest way
Or you can believe you choose for yourself
The road you take today

Love I was gone before I met you
Checked out, shoulders slumped, resigned and blue
Now I am all in since I met you
Awake now, head raised, aligned, and true
Simple graces to you love
May the air be sweet and clean
May you life consist of
Things true to what your core means
Quiet and ignite
Dampen and alight
Fight and quell
In the middle
All is well
In the end I have nothing to give you
But everything you’ve always had
Plus
Me
