Believe it or not I once had faith in myself but with age, with heartbreak, and with pain came nothing. Good News is about a time in my life when I actually felt like fighting after I was forsaken.

I have good news they called off the search
To knowing me not even worth
Through broken bones and broken plane
I will crawl I will remain
From sorry shell and flesh’s dead
With every word that will be read
I will crawl, will walk, and climb
To claim the life I want as mine
Whatever’s left, what’s left inside
I will leave this place alive
I have good news they won’t come
Of my world they will want none
But I will take this scrap today
Past desert sands I’ll fly away
Though I may hunger and I thirst
With every word I will be first
To know, to tell, to build, to hide
But know this, my plane will fly
And you’ll want to know what’s next
From the ash of this phoenix
I have good news she said stop
Give me threats and call her Pop
But know this the words be true
And everyone I want to use
Not for love not for you
But for me it’s what I choose
When I thought you were my love
With these words I’ll fly above
And when I’m done with what I do
I will never think of you
I have good news it’s not the end
Of my good or of my sin
If the sirens sing their songs
And my evil and my wrong
A little love and some desire
Heaven’s light and darkest fire
Sex and lust what days may bring
My truth and love and nicest things
I’ll be happy have no doubt
A better mood so figure it out
