The Acedia Project A.D. 
 (01) Pick Me Up (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper Take away my medicine Just because I’m stronger It might make you all feel good I swallow pills no longer I take less to thrill That’s because I am not real Cannot find a place to hide Somewhere in your grand design (02) Battle Song (top) ©2004, 2005 Jared Jasper and James Houx The fog rolls in on the morning tide The break of day and the brink of war The air surrenders a gazing wind Two shadows come to face Time just stands still As the walls start closing Is this happening? Battle calls cry in fury *Love, hate, It’s all the same This life is so lame The water flows in on the darker stones The ripping flag and the burning rag The salt remains in the oceans Two rivers start to flow Here at High Noon As the blacks (pupils) are eye to eye This is happening The daemons laugh in envy * I cannot renew this This is not his will Just because Cain was Abel Don’t make me insane I am in the middle Don’t you leave me in vain  (03) My Life as a Squid (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper I am the sponge Pain of pleasures Knows all your love I am so tired Think I’ll stay home With grandpa *His time is over now Maybe ours is too What I wouldn’t give Just to say, “I love you” He gave me the key to the mail A key to the world But now they’re both gone Dad learn me to tie my shoe That was it And now we are through * My ship has set sail Will it get Swallowed by a whale? I fell overboard Then I got washed Up on the shore * (04) Brother, Brother (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Brother, brother tell another Make your sister proud Mother, mother please don’t suffer Father should have vowed Mother you don’t have to worry Sister hid his belt He doesn’t even say he’s sorry It’s time he knows just how it felt *Should have treated her like Jesus Should have fallen to his knees Should have been wearing her thorns Should have washed her feet Feel like she’s in danger This pain is deeper than scars He is a common stranger Doesn’t even know who we are He has pushed us as far as he can I am so tired of him raising his hand No more castles made of sand All I see a monster in a man * I’d die for you Like is said I would… How is that one can do so wrong? Daddy has set the bomb He is lying on his pillow Slain by his own gun Mother’s crying, daddy’s dying Sister’s hid her face Brother is in the corner My head is hanging in disgrace (he murmured) I’d die for you Like I said I would… (05) Pieces of You (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper Looking at the moon Wondering do you see it too I feel your warmth within But you’re not around *Look inside of me And all you’ll see is pieces of you Watching silently You take hold of me Reaching out for a chance But you’re not around * Yearning desperately You give life to me I taste your breath on me But you’re not around * Waiting patiently Don’t you ever leave I know you can’t but still You’re always around Cause if you look Look inside of me All you’ll ever find Is pieces of you (06) Untitled&_#23 (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper Memories keep on crawling Right from the back of my brain All these words left unspoken How they sold out Now the pigs go to market What am I trying to say? You hold me when I’m sober, and it’s... Wee wee the way home *And I stood alone for days Just for the way you hurt Fine go on leave me now End us, end we, me now Paint me all the colors Of a two tone rainbow Cut out all the edges It’s a canvas of my home * Take on all the oceans In a ship without sails Your fortunes left you winded Like heaven with no hell * (07) Say Hello to New Mexico (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper It goes away I suppose Eventually I won’t care I hope nobody knows That I not sorry when I stare It’s been so long since I’ve said, “Hottie” I didn’t mean to patronize your body I don’t want to go through this alone Won’t you please pick up the phone A week ain’t enough time To get aquainted before you go I know you cannot be mine So say hello to New Mexico They say that crushes don’t last forever Maybe that’s all for the better The next time I see you could be never It’s easier when there are no ties to sever I can’t believe he said, “you’ve got her” I think to myself that’s gotta haunt her I don’t mind your reputation We’ll do our best just to avoid the situation A week ain’t enough time To get aquainted before you go I wish you could be mine But say hello to New Mexico (08) Hooch (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper Need a little Hooch A bottle of lemon sunshine But I know the truth It doesn’t mask the pain I hide Think I’ll take a walk Maybe go out for a while Get to know myself And leave it all behind *I’m drowning, wow oh o oh I don’t need to walk I know where I am headed I can’t go anywhere for anything It’s the death of innocence * I can’t take it back Did all I swear I’d never do Nothing kills the pain Not even the best will do * cause I’m drowning Think I need a way Somehow there is more than this Submerged in love It will be the death of all of this *I’ll be drowning… yeah (09) Serendipity (top) ©2004, 2005 Jared Jasper So long live this memory of The softness in your touch I take these things as they come along Hold me as I go to sleep I run my fingers through your hair You play me like you don’t care at all And I’m falling out Of the life you gave to me If I should sit alone Then I would want to know Could you really move along Pretend like nothing did go wrong Forget about me so easily I love you baby can’t you see That you’re my Serendipity A treasure I hoped I’d always find Now I’m falling in The life you give to me I’m not lonely now And I will never be My feet are coming off the ground I’m floating up above the clouds I’ll watch you learn to spread your wings a fly Can you remember how? I made a life-long vow To be together until we die I’m falling in The life you give to me I’m not lonely now And I will never be (10) Hello Jesus (top) ©2005 Jared Jasper I know it’s been a while since I came to call on you This world it keeps me busy there’s no time to pick and choose Oh Father, I’m sorry, why can’t I re-member you? Almighty, most Holy, how long ‘til your kingdom come? Control me, let your will be, give a shout out to your Son *Hello Jesus I know you died for me Although I am not worthy I still fall under grace You know before I ask it exactly what I need Those people, yeah they’ve wronged me But how much better am I? Be forgiving, No longer, An eye for an eye Starve the wolves, though they’re hungry Don’t let me go astray My savior, I know he’s coming Make me ready for that day * For thine is The kingdom And the power And the glory For ever AMEN☼ (11) They Call Me (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper Out from his belly A living river flows Thirst quenching waters Of the truth that he knows Understand more than natural The Spirit is like the wind No one knows where it comes from Or where it will end *But they call me Lucifer For what? They don’t know I am burning with all their envy I have nothing for show Have you faith? Are you spiritual? His gospel you must believe Faith cometh by hearing Those who ask will receive Overwhelmed with his gifts A guaranteed inheritance Forbid not! The forbidden As the Spirit gives utterance * We are members of one body, Fruits of the vine that’s Christ Bad seed, it withers Some branches will get diced You! Preachers of deprivation You! Aborters of the Holy Ghost In Christ we are a new creation Sanctified from the old host * (12) Free Again (top) ©2004 Jared Jasper Long is the road I am seeing Locked all alone I’ve been screaming Nobody cries if I’m bleeding Nothing is real but your seed, Amen. *Why? Can you hear me? Am I breathing? For too long I’ll be singing Eyes may go blind, but I am seeing All that is left is to be free again *Cry. Old man has been pinned on me again Died long ago on a tree my friend Chains on my feet I am free again Pierced him who bled for all my sin *Die. Rocks will not stand for you my friend Crumbled and thrown to the sea again *Fly! Seal Seven | News | Discography | Lyrics | Bios | MySpace | E-mail |
