His Story

Amazing Self Portraits

Kyle Thompson Photography

Love his photography, my absolute favorite is the self portrait 

on the broken plane. I just love planes and I dream of flying 

one someday.

I'm tired

I'm worn

My heart is heavy

From the work it takes to keep on breathing

I've made mistakes

I've let my hope fail

My soul feels crushed

By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that's dead inside can be reborn

Cause I'm worn

I know I need

To lift my eyes up

But I'm too week

Life just won't let up

And I know that You can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that's dead inside can be reborn

Cause I'm worn

And my prayers are wearing thin

I'm worn even before the day begins

I'm worn I've lost my will to fight

I'm worn so heaven so come and fluid my eyes

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that's dead inside can be reborn

Yes all that's dead inside will be reborn

Though I'm worn

Yeah I'm worn

Tenth Avenue North

RESTLESS

I am the sea on a moonless night

Calling falling, slipping tides

I am the leaky, dripping pipes

The endless, aching drops of light

I am the raindrop falling down

Always longing for the deeper ground

I am the broken, breaking seas

Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers ways to run 

Even the rain to reach the sun

Even my thirsty streams 

Even in my dreams

I am restless, restless, restless

Looking for you

I am restless

I run like the ocean to find your shore

Looking for you

I am the thorn stuck in your side

I am the one that you left behind

I am the dried-up doubting eyes

Looking for the well that won't run dry

Running hard for the other side

The world that I've always been denied

Running hard for the infinite

With the tears of saints and hypocrites

Oh, blood of black and white and grey

Oh, death in life and night in day

One by one by one

We let our rivers run

I can hear you breathing

I can feel you leading

More than just a feeling

More than just a feeling

I can feel you you reaching

Pushing through the ceiling

Til the final healing

I'm looking for you

Until the sea of glass we meet

At last completed and complete

Where tide and tear and pain subside

And laughter drinks them dry

I'll be waiting

Anticipating

All that I aim for

What I was made for

With every heartbeat

All of my blood bleeds

Running inside me

Looking for you
