you asked me if id do a speech
how could i say no?
i dont really feel welcome
and i just cant sit for very long
in the middle of the ceremony someone approaches me
she asked Brandon where's your ring?

in the middle of the ceremony i walk off alone
i wish i could say i stayed

pt 1
I'll be waiting for a bit of sunshine
Cloud separate
Bring a new day
But keep the rain
I'll be waiting for a bit of sunshine
Always some pain
An awful day
But don't pass away
Today
Thursday
I lay
I lay
Friday
Eye Strain
Backache
Another death today
Pt 2
No more albums
Just sit and watch the weather
Talk to me in any way you can
And lets watch the weather
Sunshine or rain
Lets watch the weather
You can always talk to me
No matter the weather

while i sit and stare at doors
youve barely spoken to yours
all those after and before
just made me love you move
the faces i must forget again
must not be put to shame
i know now you cant force the heart
but you cant untear it apart
five years without your words
if i listen close i can hear your voice
brandon it must hurt
but you know you have a choice
to love
my spirits still here
though my body
is different now
and we do not speak
all you have is
there idea of
me who still loves
me who still dreams
me whos still here
waiting for you
ill meet you here
ive seen your face before
once youre up here
its eternity
its beyond the life that you know
keep your soul clean
just for me
i promise love is waiting for you
brandon it must hurt
but you know you have a choice
i cant explain my love
i cant explain how it all works
not until you get here
not until you get here and see me

february 3 2020
its the start of the week
i prayed for sunshine
and the clouds are forming stronger with each new day
when the rains hit the ceiling so melodic i asked for more rain
i saw the news today oh boy
it said rain forecasted for the next week
heavy lighting expected
and i couldn't be more excited
february 6 2020
i finished recording the prayer album
feels like i got no song left in me
its been raining all day
and i just want to stay home and enjoy it
i have to get to bed early to catch up on sleep
tomorrow night im going to see wicca phase with doss
right now i have no inspiration
howd that melody go again
february 8 2020
i still pray for sunshine
but the rain has covered the state
and surrenders to nature
what was once burning
is now extinquished
and the people must rebuild
but i havent quite yet
im not ready to rebuild
i rest by logs but i keep waking up at night
among the horizon the sun is expanding
god i was not prepared for the sunshine
god i was not ready to embrace its warmth
a supernova explodes in the midnight sky
the world is lost
but i remain by the logs
god are you there?
ive prayed for sunshine and you given me rain
god ive prayed for the sunshine
but god brought rain
