when i'm away you never change
your love it stays when mine it fades
men will say what they say it doesn't change a single thing
for you are for me
another day it burned me up
words are cruel like children
the strangest thing i was born for this
as sparks they fly upward
but you are for me
i got the shakes for the lions outside are awake
it's feeding time and it's my life that is the storyline
the truth is strong and she holds me
she keeps me moving on when it gets overwhelming
I'm gonna leave this place, I swear this time I'm running home
I know this place too well that promises I'll be alone
Somewhere between here and there and back and forth I'll come around
It's what I want to tell you...
It's been so very long since I've been man enough to be the kind of man...
If I'm gonna hold your hand
I was reminded of the lack of who I am, I swallowed hard
And in the night I took a firefly for a shooting star
I watched the sun come up and burn away this feeling over me
Fall down
Kiss the ground once again
This mire too often my heart's desire
Pick me up
Dust me off once again
This mire too often my heart's desire
I create my own shame
Put a muzzle on my mouth when I get so very anxious
So very anxious again
Better off if things were left unsaid
Tomorrow's sorrows waiting there once again
The silver pinholes of the night refuse to sing their starry song tonight
Goodnight
When I feel afraid your comfort comes to me
And then I can be all that you want of me
These feelings I just can't hide
Pushing up from deep inside
Please take my life
Get into the car and let's just drive
I'm just a man, nothing more than what you see
When I'm hurt I cry
And when I'm cut I bleed
These feelings I just can't hide
Pushing up from deep inside
Please take my life
And I landed here
you took the fall
its funny how the backdoors swing on call
and the lessons I€™ve learned
end in depressed
is it the same way with you my friend?
and I€™m not scared
scared of you
I think I€™ll stay in
I didn€™t lie
the man that I turned into last night
so many words
that I can€™t take back
scared of me
scared of me, yeah
cuz all the backdoors are calling
so loudly to me
its just you and me
and the distance between
your car seats and CD€™s
and I€™d like to reach across
and touch your bliss
but I€™m too far, again
scared of me
scared of me, yeah
cuz all the backdoors are calling
so loudly to me
scared of me
scared of me
cuz all the backdoors are calling
and all the backdoors are calling out
and all the backdoors are calling
so loudly, yeah
scared of me
Sometimes
you can steal the blue
from your own eyes
sometimes
you can steal the blue
from your own eyes
sometimes
sometimes
To whom it may concern
Young apathy, but why?
The hands have all been broken
A thorn in your side
The heavens have almost fallen as all the angels cry
Could this be the end?
Or the start of something new again?
Could this be the one?
Let me go
Perplexed at admiration
Seemingly just why
Clean from the sample
Too close to testify
Meaningless
Just simply peeking through again
No one to let down but God
The One within
My heart's in anguish inside
And I'm feeling all alone
Please hold my hand
Are you here to stay?
Why should I ask?
The water's warm my friend
This one should last
Landmarks that define no longer align with the direction we're heading
It's the consequence I fear when you label me like that
I guess I wish you'd take some time with me
The words I spokw were clear
Some people only hear what they want to hear to make them feel alright
Landmarks that define no longer align with the direction we're heading
Emancipation of myself and pain inside of me
Sometimes I wonder where I'd be without You God
There'd be a big old hole inside of me
I sit and I wait for You...
Time to take place
Perfect day that shines even brighter unto You
Perfect day that shines even brighter all because of You
When You're here, You empower me
it's difficult to say goodbye after only one life
the rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams
and this burning tree that's withering will bloom again
would you believe
goodbye, goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
goodbye, goodbye
walk away it's hard to say goodbye
now all that's left , pictures on the walls
memories and stories that are told
the more often told the bigger they get
create a legacy lest we forget
goodbye, goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
no longer can i hold onto this defeated change in heart, i swear
it's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it
my voice it will be, you know i will be, yes it will be still
something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy
halfway there but He always fills my cup
and He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up
goodbye, goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
i never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms
The air up here, it seems so thin
Stars burn my eyes
The blood, it covers sin
Flip an old coin over
A new life begins and the old one is over
If I tore my heart out and threw it on the floor
Would you even care?
Why can't you feel that I am real?
Could you be the one?
Guide me to the Son
The air down here
It seems so thick
Dirt in my life
You know it makes me sick
I ask for water once again
You share her with me yesterday, so close and yet so far away
It's the little things she does that magnify your grace
And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face
At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow
She's a blessing, you've given to me, Father of light
The lines have fallen in pleasant places, Many daughters have done well
But you excel them all. Protect her and mold her with your hands
You've been good to me my sweet
And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face
You have been a shelter Lord, and she has been my dream
Beautiful, beautiful, I feel your grace abound on me
In the light, in the light
At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow
Striving forward, not looking to the past.
Sanctification to free me at last.
On the rise, I feel the world all around me,
But the lord has come to give new life to me.
Free me.
Justification of my ways
I see the goal, but it seems so far away.
God give me the strength to carry on
Until I've past and Your will has been done...
Father I'm on my knees.
Lord Jesus, come and fill me.
Without you, I am nothing.
Oh Lord I am nothing.
Standing next to you
What am I supposed to do?
Time says feelings change
But to me it's all the same
I'm still here
But I'm all alone
I'm still near
But so far from home
I'm still here
But I'm all alone
I'm still near
But so far from home
Take me as I am
Please won't you hold my hand?
Feelings never change
Consequence is the same
I'm still here
But I'm all alone
I'm still near
I feel Your presence when I'm on my knees
Asking for forgiveness, Lord, hear my cries and pleas
I know You're there Lord, I knowyou care
I know you set me free, but I'm still scared
I know You're there, but I'm still scared...
Through prayer, Lord I see the works You've done in my life
Even when the times get hard You lift me up in Your light...
I know You're there Lord, I know You care
Don't think you'll get away.
No one ever has.
Don't think He'll turn His back.
It doesn't work like that.
You're caught just like me but it's not really all that bad.
I think someday you'll understand, let's just hope that day comes fast.
I bet that you don't know just what it is you're running from.
Your eyes are so blank.
These kinds of things are never good.
You're caught just like me but it's not really all that bad.
Someday, I think you'll understand, let's just hope that day comes fast.
You're running faster than I ever could.
I guess you're right, I guess I can't understand.
But what I know is you can as fast and far as you want
flying up against the forces that hold me down
stones will fall and turn to pieces without a sound
the stratosphere it brings relief beyond your telescopic reach
i think it's time we had a relocation
the currents sweep away direction i'm spinning around
the pressure builds my lungs collapsing i'm going down
to breathe the air above the surface rings
you know i'm breathing deep
i think it's time we had a relocation
waking to a world of shadows but it's clearer now
i tried to grip it's ghostly beauty and almost drowned
reality misleading me when will i really learn to see
Isn't it funny what I forgot today; Isn't it great how you worked in spite of me
I can see that you're not laughing, Yeah I know it's not a joking matter
I guess it's just one of the ways to hide me from my share...
When I think you left forever I hear your voice - whisper to me
You are a son of grace you are a new born saint
You are a chosen temple for me to rest my name
I hung there crucified, I lived and died and lived again
I saw eternity collide to bring you to me...
then I think you left forever I hear your voice I hear your voice,
here's a song to keep you company
to keep you warm to make you happy
the day's been long you're feeling down and out
somethings wrong but what's it all about
when it comes it steals the blue from your eyes
when it comes and all your tears run dry
and it comes we'll sing you a lullaby tonight
there's a time for everything
it's where you'll find your melody
so sing along and chase the rain away
it won't be long tomorrows's another day
when it comes it steals the blue from your eyes
when it comes and all your tears run dry
I told you I was sorry
We better kiss and make up
Why do we fight so much?
There's got to be some better way to convince you to let me stay
Remember when we used to fall down laughing?
I know I'm hung up
I do repent and I promise I won't ever do it again
Staged fight
Good night
Let's try again tomorrow
Please don't be angry with me
I told you I was sorry
This always happens when I start to feel like I am something
I'd like to think that we could find our way around this mess
Remember when we used to fall down laughing
Why can't we shut up?
It's gonna make us
Don't you wanna give it another shot?
Staged fight
Good night
Don't look too far ahead from where you are
These things transend human comprehension
I'm you, you're me, through eyes that take no sleeping
Starve myself for a piece of you
Chorus:
With age comes time
Leaves to the earth must fall
And die before they can find
The meaning of it all
The meaning of it all
It's those things I can't touch
That move blood through my veins
The mystery in which we breathe
Lay down forever and carry all of the marks
That we bear until the dust reclaims us
Chorus
All is fine, all is fine
All is fine, it's in my mind
And all this time, all this time
All this time, to draw these lines
To draw these lines
You can trouble your own house
But in the end you'll inherit the wind
(repeat)
Chorus
All I know, all I have is what's been given to me
What I know is real is all I can dream
I feel my heart is changing
The one and only thing I know is "we aint going nowhere"
Be it sometimes I might, yeah, I put up a fight
Gotta get this off my chest tonight
All my thoughts are rearranging
And what I really want to know is "are we going nowhere?"
All eyes peer, looking from the outside
You don't understand what you see in me
I come running out on your playground
Sometimes things are the way they're meant to be
You stare at me and all these things are coming down
I'm not sure and you're giving me the run around
Could it be that you don't know me?
It's all in the way that you shun me
Days go by, turn into weeks
I'm not a vagrant but I've really nothing to speak of...
Life's puposes evading me
Try oh though I might
Can't keep 'em in my sight
And now who's controlling me?
If it's not me myself, it must be someone else you see
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
Broken man, He's got you on His mind
All life's rewards are broken dreams
Someone forgot I guess
Forgot to wake me up you see
Are you surprised the world's not free?
Now words are all you've got
But words aren't good enough for me
You've gotta move if you'll be free
You gotta bow your head
You gotta give it up
Be free
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
A man walks down the street
And we close our eyes
Because he is filthy and homeless
So we don't even look twice
Under his arms there's a Bible
And a look of peace in his eyes
This man also loves Jesus
So just open up your eyes
Love your brother
Any form, shape, and size
Because no one looks perfect except in Jesus' eyes
Take time to know your brothers
And open up their eyes
A boy sleeps under a bridge
Mad from the world's lies he sees you
Preaching to a crowd
And comes to seek Jesus Christ
And when you tell him about the Lord
You'll see the fear in his eyes...
Jesus' tugging at his heart
The Lord opened up his eyes...
We go through this life with our eyes closed
And we turn off the people who need us most
We gotta take time to know one another
Winded again by my broken silence; love's become a noise, as my tongue's on fire
My heart consumed, struck by the chord of pride; woe is me I shall come down
I shall come down
Can't seem to see me, my words are much too loud, as my tongue's on fire
Easily ensnared, strengthen my hands which hang down
Quench the violence of my fire, of my fire...
Precious blood of Christ, bring death that i might see life
say now, that you're sorry
i forgive you i promise to
restore now, the order
that we once had before this all came
down now it's so useless
we're wasting the members that we've been given
i miss you even when i'm with you
drifting away don't drift away
now together we are stronger
can't see hope but it lasts longer
than thorns on trees and words that sting
faithful are the wounds he brings
don't let the sun go down on...
rest your seet head
lay down, now you are my best friend
and i'll be here when you rise
to part the seas that frighten your mind
doubt comes all the time
if you cry i'll cry
I take the time to understand
That life is just a living men.
And so I realize what I must be do.
I set my flesh aside.
I let you through and I see all the works you do.
I love you, Lord and I don't say it enough.
So I just want to give my life to you.
I step away from myself.
We are here together, like we've been once before,
But this time there's something different.
You let Jesus through the door...
I watched you through star-struck eyes as you fell down
The words you spoke, I'd like to think you were sincere
Now I find my way backstage, fill my mouth with what's to taste
And what I'm saying,man is yeah, I see, I understand
And I can't blame you
I know you had to
It was one or the other, it was you or your brother
Should he change your mind; bring you around; clear the smoke,
I really hope to see you there
We'll reminisce when we're upstairs
When it comes around who really cares?
What I'm saying,man is yeah, I see, I understand
And I can't blame you
I know you had to
It was one or the other
it was you or your brother
But as long as I stand beside you, I know you'll never leave my side
And it's you who makes the love shine in my life
And it's you who brings a tear to my eye
And it's you who picks me up when I fall
And it's you
When I think of you I see a beauty
That cannot be described by words
Then I sit and my mind goes and wanders
When I get those thoughts of you and
Love comes shining through...
How can I move forward from this place?...of disgrace.
I'm full of stone...immovable.
Push me down,
Push me down now.
I might break in two,
Suffer a chip.
Create, create, create an opaque mess.
I might break in two, Suffer a chip.
Now all that echos in the chambers of my heart
Thin silhouettes of your truth.
Push me down,
Push me down now
Remove the veils that once were torn by your blood
Don't bow down, before an empty tomb; where a pretty face it makes me stumble
And another chance is a hidden fall; a hidden fall...
You made that thing with your hands but you kneel down in front of it and pledge your allegiance and all you
Own to plastic idols, and a rubber soul...
God is in His holy temple, so let us all be silent
I worship and adore You, my God; casting down my treasures to the ground
Making dust of anything that i could set up in Your place
Be thou exalted, be thou exalted
God is in His holy temple, so let us all be silent
avenues and dirty arches you run down the street and i will follow
try try sliding through the network of a crowded paradise
my tears are indivisible
underneath overexposure like a shellshocked distant past
ride ride sifting through the remains surfing on a concrete tide
my tears are indivisible
animals in pretty cages you have watched them wear their ugliest faces
cry cry saline droplets splashing in the boat that saved your life
my tears are indivisible
when we fall we're always sorry
Woke up to the headlights of a car
So I made a wish. it didn't go real far
Forgiveness is hard when your heart's a mess
And I gotta do something to make myself feel better
Like a bird from the sky
So I close my eyes and ask God why
And in my selfishness I realize
Sometimes things don't go my way
So I've learned just how to compromise...
Should I cut my heart out so I can feel?
Let it subside to finally know what is real
Maybe I'll take a trip down to the city
The lights look pretty
There's something about the way I sit and stare that makes me feel
Like a bird from the sky
So I close my eyes and ask God why
And in my selfishness I realize
Sometimes things don't go my way
There's a boy that I once knew
He lived his life in pain
Everyone thought he had it all
But no one knows the truth
Anger and hate so deep inside
Waiting for their chance...
A boy with no control looking down at a cold steel chamber
Mercy at last
Darkness comes on so strong
His world gets painted black
The frail boy collapsed
The fight is done
Just one thing left to do
One technicality
Face to face with death
There's finally someone who cares
Darkness comes on so strong
His world gets painted black
The frail boy collapsed
Repercussions of what once was said
The words just came flying out of my head
I didn't mean to offend you, I didn't mean any harm
I just wanted you to pick up your cross and come along
The Lord calls us to make a stand
To be bold and preserve in them
Cause if you do, you will save yourself
And those who hear the Word
Just tryin' to keep you on the right track
Because I care my friend
Don't want to see you sliding back
And now that you love the Lord
And you're coming along fine
Be diligent and give yourself to Him
Everyone is so caught up in trying
To save the world straying away from God,
The whole reason why we're here
Don't you know that's why God sent His Son
To die for our sins?
So that we can deny ourselves
He sits and hears the story of his life; his tears fall down like rain as he begins to realize
And wish that i was near to you, and wish that i was there again
Life is more than gold; friends are more than old; memories are the commonwealth
Thinking about the only Son, that He may have forgotten
You know you were the only one, putting yourself in the place of that man
Thanking God as the time passes by, another man does the same,
He thinks about the reasons why, maybe she was the one to blame...
Life is more than gold, friends are more than old, memories are the commonwealth
Not to judge, but to encourage.
Look inside and search your soul.
Can't you see the hypocrisy?
It's inside you and it's inside me.
I'll make a promise to you: someday
The Lord will come and take us away.
No more suffering, no more hate and sorrow.
Just love, sweet love.
From a God of mercy.
No matter how hard we try,
That doesn't assure our salvation.
Sometimes it's hard,
But if we all stand together,
We'll make it through and see the Lord together, forever.
No matter, we'll see the Lord together, forever, together.
The unpulled weeds within the mass,
The don't represent the truth I see.
The fallen leaders of the Chruch,
Riddled with the pain of falling short.
I promised you I'd always try my hardest.
And do you think I'm trying?
No, I wouldn't either.
Call me liar.
Call me anything you want.
My heart's on fire.
Now everything is wrong.
Flown and flung away.
The hardest sort.
Don't think that I would hurt you by intention.
And do you think I'm trying?
No, I wouldn't be surprised.
Call me liar.
Call me anythning you want.
Are you feeling the same way?
And can you understand all my selfish pain?
Consequence has shown its ugly face again
And now I find myself in shambles
Crying out to you again
I can't see with my eyes closed
So shut them tight
I hide them from the light
Do you know where you're going?
Do you know what you're doing as you're going insane?
Can you even contemplate?
And are you man enough to learn from my mistakes?
If I take a look inside and take a step aside
I'll find there's no place to run
As I open my eyes, Lord
It's a brand new day
Your glory shines like the sun on a hot summer's day
I lift my hands to You Lord
Forgive me, oh Lord forgive me
I am so weak
But You are strong
You are the Son high in the sky
Draw me near and give me wings to fly
I wanna be where You are
Lord where You are
Now the time has come to pick up my cross
And run to the everlasting grace You give
You hold a promise
Come and take my hand
And guide me to Your loving hand, Lord
You are the Son high in the sky
Draw me near and give me wings to fly
I wanna be where You are
She doesn't know anything but what's in the picture
She can't feel because her pain's numbed senses
She believes in a holy God above
Goes every Sunday and sits in the back of the church
As I come before you
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray for the girl who is all alone
As I come before you
As I close my eyes
You are the comfort that holds her tonight
Hold her tonight
Well she's been here for several years...
Grew up in the church and yet you still don't know her name
She don't need someone to feel sorry for her
All she needs is love
On a great white horse the king will come riding,
He's the only one called, "Faithful and true,"
With his eyes afire and blood dipped clothing; he had a name that no one else knew,
And by his side are the armies of Heaven, dressed in linen clean, white as the snow,
Riding down to Earth with vengeance so holy, for a battle to trample their foe.
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna ride down from Heaven, where they've been,
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna put this world back together again.
When dust and smoke all disappear, the king will reign for a thousand years,
And when the lion lays down with the lamb, there'll be peace in the land of Abraham,
They will beat their swords into ploughs when every tongue declares, and every knee bows.
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna ride down from Heaven, where they've been,
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna put this world back together again.
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna ride down from Heaven, where they've been,
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna put this world back together again,
All the king's horses and all the king's men gonna ride down from Heaven, where they've been,
Take me far away, live a place to stay, cause I've been wondering for far too long from the shadows of your wings, complacency has taken over, fly me far away.
And I forgot just what he means to me; did you forget what you mean?
Except for the silence...
Have you noticed that I'm still here? I wait in vain, when will you come near?
this tailored life i cannot breathe
there's something hidden something suffocating me
i wanna know i gotta know
is it my pentium this thing is way too slow
my perfect life like in a dream
i started thinking that it wasn't what it seemed
i gotta know i wanna know
please won't you tell me where it is that i should go
we'll move ahead we're moving on
until we see the break of dawn
this pot of gold this holy grail
sometime's it starts to feel more like a fairy tale
you told me once tell me again
that everything is gonna be just like you said
we'll move ahead we're moving on
I told you once before (so like it or not) you're stuck with us.
Because "we ain't goin nowhere", not this time - the stakes
are far too high.
Oh no...here we go...
Up ahead I see the land; His promise.
Ain't it grand?
But I keep getting stuck down here (here).
Oh no...here we go......
Will the spark light up the sky?
Or will these waters run a dry?
Feel the curse that calls me man.
It's in my blood it's in the land.
I can't complain and all my bills have been paid.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful
Take me far away, live a place to stay, cause I've been wondering for far too long from the shadows of your wings, complacency has taken over, fly me far away.
And I forgot just what he means to me; did you forget what you mean?
Except for the silence...
Have you noticed that I'm still here? I wait in vain, when will you come near?
May God answer you in the day of your trouble,
May his name set you in safety.
And send them help from the sanctuary,
Support from the heights of heaven.
Grant your children their hearts' desire,
Before their eyes, fulfill your promises
That we will shout and bring praise,
As he answers your requests.
I know the Lord protects his chosen,
I know he answers from on high.
The strength of his fingers,
Lifts us up before we fall.
Save, O God;
Save, O God!
Save, O God;
Take me far away, live a place to stay, cause I've been wondering for far too long from the shadows of your wings, complacency has taken over, fly me far away.
And I forgot just what he means to me; did you forget what you mean?
Except for the silence...
Have you noticed that I'm still here? I wait in vain, when will you come near?
I stir my cup and think of you; It's just the little things that break me
But it's not right to hold you so tight; I end up wrestling with God over you...
Whose hands are safer? Who could steal you from His grip?
It separates the ocean, with a brush so effortless...
There is nothing to worry about, because who loves you more than Jesus?
So here again I find myself and everything I've ever loved,
At the foot of the cross with three nails
There is nothing to worry about, because who loves you more than Jesus?
If I hold onto you, will I let go of Christ? Will I end up denying Him in abundance of thrice?
Will I ened up in the end with less tan I started with? When I surrender...
I have a wife, and together we live, in a very small room
Yesterday she lost, her car broke down, and now I ride a bicycle
You say, I told you so, you were much too young to get married.
But I say, You're way too old, and when did you stop living anyway?
As I ride my bike, with my safety helmet on, and white tennis shoes,
they stare at me but I see through new eyes, or maybe you just don't remember
This place that I'm supposed to be, is not the chair in front of a desk in front of a mirror
Can't you see that it's not here or there or anywhere
But in speaking distance with God,and where can you go that's too far?
This is A revolution, and it's so very black and white.
Sexual evolution. So wrong but it feels so right.
Shoot me up A double wide, A triple high.
Oh, Now I see why...
Let this moment tin time bring me back to life
Desensitized like the summer time.
Another round of courage and we'll be fine.
Exceeding expectation. Who thought we'd ever come this far?
Orchestrated devastation. Someone hide the keys to my car.
No don't you look at me. Don't you look at my eyes
(The Fire inside You)
They'll bring you to your knees.
And we find that we're blind. The weakness in out design.
Girl you're killin' me makin' me wait for you to find
A love that may never comes back to us alive
These words you say will burn into me.
(And I Find It So Hard)
And I find it so hard to walk away.
You think you've got me right where you want me
Tell me how do you feel.
Desensitized like the summer time.
Another round of courage and we'll be fine.
