Ugly 02:48
It started with an actual slight Or imagined, I can't remember which But the natural trajectory was over the top And once you get started it gets hard to stop, so we didnt And it got ugly It started with a stick and a stone And a careless, careless word vindictively thrown And there was no turning the cheek And once it's been spoken, it's hard to unspeak, so we didn't And we got ugly Break, break, we're breaking our hearts Wake up, from this sleep walking Wait, wait, is this how we fell apart And got so ugly

In all honesty I'm not always the man that I should be Sometimes I square my shoulders, content to just be me Sometimes I hang my head so I can't see In all that I've done The choices I've made boil down to one Will I respect the person standing right in front of me In all honesty In all honesty I know exactly what you're worth to me I see the picture clearly drawn by where I choose to be And how I spend my time and energy In clipped, cautious words You tell me that your feelings have been hurt Sometimes I choose humility and decide to change my course Sometimes I choose my pride and make things worse In this life the things that you hold close Are written on the faces of the ones that you love most So spend your life on love, not chasing wealth and other ghosts In all honesty In all honesty I hope someday, when you remember me With out a doubt you'll know I loved who God made you to be In all honesty

On a patch of feathered grass, just off of the walking path Here I stretch my petals toward a cloudless azure sky With my thread roots anchored down, into the loamy springtime ground I witness here the world around, regard the passers by Without stigma I behold, a man upon the bench unfold (Petals stretch and leaves unfold) His bedding made of dirty clothes, no pillow for his head (To embrace his weary head) A jogger in the morning light, cursed the unbecoming sight (Lift your eyes behold the sight) The resting place an ugly blight, upon the path he tread (Of the dawning morning’s light) I had pity on them both (On the first because he chose) In differing degrees I suppose (Disdain in compassion's place) I had pity on them both (On the second with his burden) Brothers born to different clothes (Unwelcome most any place) Born a flower for a day, I shall wither fast away Beauty is a fleeting thing, and fairness quickly fades As his resting arms unfold, the man raises his greying head (Petals stretch and leaves unfold) His waking eyes, still squinting spy a flower in its bed (To embrace his weary head) Perhaps a gift for love forgot, perhaps a tribute to the day (Lift your eyes behold the sight) He plucks the flower from the ground, a smile lifts his face (Of the dawning morning’s light) I was happy for us both (May my beauty bring him light) Joyful in our given roles (Love to guide him in his way) I was happy for us both (May our momentary lives) Brothers born to different clothes (Bring to others joy in life)
