- The fundamental question in “In the End” is “There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?”

Flood Waters

Higher than the yonder mountain and deeper than the sea
From the breadth of the east unto the west
Is the love that started with a seed

Stronger than the wildest horses and the rising tide
The chords of death hung so heavy round our necks
Will be left at the great divide

Flood waters rise, but it won’t wash away
Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than graves

Farther than the pale moon rises upon the open plains
Past the time of the longest blood line
There shines an immortal flame

Somewhere in between forever and the passing days
There’s a place moth and rust cannot lay waste
This is grace, the face of love

Flood waters rise, but it won’t wash away
Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than graves

- Josh Garrels

It’s the price I guess
for the lies I’ve told
that the truth, it no longer thrills me

Why can’t we laugh,
when it’s all we have?
Have we put these childish things away?
Have we lost the magic that we once had?

In the end, in the end, there’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

In the end, in the end, it’s time for us to lose our weary minds.

Will you dance with me,
like we use to dance,
and remember how to move together.
You are the torch,
and it all makes sense.

I’ve waited here for you forever
I’ve waited here for you forever

In the end, in the end, there’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

In the end, in the end, it’s time for us to lose our weary minds.

We’re lost ’til we learn how to ask.
We’re lost ’til we learn how to ask.
We are lost’til we learn how to ask.

So please, please, just ask.

In the end, in the end, there’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

In the end, in the end, it’s time for us to lose our weary minds.

There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

This chest is full of memories
Of gold and silver tears
I’ll give you more to own than
All of this
And I’ll give you more than years
For you were once a child of innocence
And I see you just the same
Your burdens couldn’t win or
Lose a thing
Oh, I’d tell you once again
But you’re always on the run

Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your heart now, oh
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down, just take it slow
Find your smile now, oh
You can trust and love again

If you leave I’ll still be close to you
When all your fears rain down
I’ll take you back a thousand times again
I’ll take you as my own
I would sing you songs of innocence
‘Til the light of morning comes
‘Til the rays of gold and honey cover you
In the sweetness of the dawn
But you’re always on the run

You’re not alone
You’re now a part of me
You feel the cure
I’ll feel the toil it brought you

“Selling The News”

Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen
Built with the lends of the low self esteem
A teenager’s plea for meaning and means
We’re selling the news

See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts
The greys instead of the whites and the blacks
If you shoot it too straight it won’t come back
We’re selling the news

See, money speaks volumes louder than words
And virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first
But salaries are paid with the eyes not the verbs
We’re selling the news

See, all men are equal; all is for sale
A powerful dog has been chasing his tail
The lowest common denominator prevails
We’re selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religion

America listens as the story is told
With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds
But the ratings determine which story was sold
We’re selling the news

Begging the question, mongering fears
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
The truth is seldom just as it appears
We’re selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I can see your talking heads
On the television set
On the Internet they said
The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

Substance, oh, substance, where have you been?
You’ve been replaced by the masters of spin
Who make good looking books and write history in
We’re selling the news

The lines start to blur; I get so confused
They get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
They get binary code mixed up with abuse
The facts are simply one option to choose

When nothing is sacred, there’s nothing to lose
When nothing is sacred, all is consumed
We’re still on the air, it must be the truth
We’re selling the news

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in-between
The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction

I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything I see is green
The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

Walking along the high tide-line
Watching the pacific from the side-lines
I wonder what it means to live together
Looking for more than just guide-lines

Looking for signs in the night sky
Wishing that i wasn’t such a nice guy
I wonder what it means to live forever
I wonder what it means to die

I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You’ve got your babies, i’ve got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I’ve got my vices, i’ve got my vice verses
I’ve got my vice verses….

The wind could be my new obsession
The wind could be my next depression
The wind goes anywhere it wants to
Wishing that i learned my lesson

The ocean sounds like a garage band
Coming at me like a drunk man
The ocean tells me a thousand stories
None of them are lies

I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You’ve got your babies, i’ve got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I’ve got my vices, i’ve got my vice verses
I’ve got my vice verses….

Let the pacific laugh
Be on my epitaph
With these rising and falling
And after all,
It’s just water and i am just soul
With a body of water and bone
Water and bone….

Where is god in the night sky?
Where is god in the city light?
Where is god in the earthquake?
Where is god in the genocide?

Where are you in my broken heart?
Everything seems to fall apart
Everything feels rusted over
Tell me that you’re there

I know that there is meaning to it all
A little resurrection everytime i fall
You’ve got your babies, i’ve got my hearses
Every blessing comes with a set of curses
I’ve got my vices, i’ve got my vice verses
I’ve got my vice verses….

Standing knee-deep in cold water, swiftly moving
Somehow I knew I lost something

Waiting waist-deep I saw a book there, in the river
Waiting for me to find it there
I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water
The tide pulled me out to sea

Then with water in my eyes
The words began to rise from their place
They were beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
They were honey on my lips
Then a bitter twist in my side
I knew they’d lay me in my grave
“Is there no one who could save me?” I cried
Sinking down deep through cold water and heavy silence
Shadows stirring in the gloom
What things lay sleeping down deep in the darkness?
Woke then to find me in my tomb

Then with water in my eyes
The words began to rise from their place
They were beautiful and dread
I reached for them and fed on each phrase
They were honey on my lips
Then a bitter twist in my side
I knew they’d lay me in my grave
“Is there no one who could save me?” I cried

And when I lost all hope to look
Someone took that heavy book from my hands
All its weight they set aside
After they had satisfied its demands
I felt white and black reverse
And the lifting of a curse from my heart
Then like one receiving sight
I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
