Avoiding The Ground
05:58

Am I standing, am I weakened, am I unshakable?
Am I living the reminders while I’m trying to let go?
Am I helpless, am I hopeless, am I broken all on my own?
In the midst of a free fall I’m avoiding the ground.
Am I hearing, am I doing?
And when I’ve gone away
am I losing my reflection, forgetting my face?
Am I watching, am I waiting,
or drifting in the night?
Avoiding resistance, disheartened to the fight.
I’m blinded by familiar turns
Revolving doors and different words
Crawling on these dirty floors
My knees are worn, my eyes are sore.

Turn a Light on
04:11
|

Every now and then I think of who I was
I shudder at the thought of it, it’s live and learn I guess…
But there’s still a part of me that tries to overcome what should have died.
Hidden beneath the skin, behind a crooked smile
Convincing silver tongue, I try to justify.
But there’s still a part of me that tries to overcome what should have died.
All along you kept me by your side
Never let me out of sight
Never let me go too far
And all along you showed what I can’t see
Set a path in front of me
Always there to turn a light on.
I wouldn’t budge, I wouldn’t give
I ran in all directions refusing to give in
You wouldn’t let me go, you saved me from myself
You opened up my eyes and gave it all so I can live.
You gave it all so I can live.
Ooh, turn a light on.

Heroes
05:00

I saw a young man running,
he was fleeing with no place to go.
He passed an old man walking,
mumbling softly about the things he knows.
And I heard a woman laughing as she reasoned “this is all a dream.”
And I listened to another as she suffered
Screaming at the sea.
Holding on, You never turned away
And I can’t forget what you’ve done for me.
When all is lost and our heroes turned to stone,
I won’t forget that you rescued me,
Yeah you rescued me.
I won’t forget,
ahh-ah you rescued me,
Ooh I won’t forget,
Ahh-ah you rescued me.
Consume to stay awake and pills to go to sleep
Strong on the outside but inside we only weep.
The change that you believe in
is just more of the same.
These heroes we believe in,
imposters to the King.
Fell for a taste of glory,
sold for a piece of gold.
We seek a savior for our lives
but throw away our souls.
With castles made of sand
And kingdoms with no king
We love our own reflection
And trade away eternity.
Holding on, You never turned away
And I can’t forget what you’ve done for me.
What you’ve done.
When all is lost, our heroes turned to stone,
I won’t forget that you rescued me,
Yeah you rescued me.
You never turned away and I can’t forget what you’ve done for me, yeah what you’ve done.
When all is lost, our heroes turned to stone,
I won’t forget that you rescued me, yeah you rescued me.

Seeker

Did someone tell you
“It doesn’t matter where you go or what you choose, it’s all about the journey?”
Did you chase it?
Did they tell you all your dreams would come true if you put your mind to it?
Seeker, what you finding?
Headlights got you blinded.
Run, run, why you hiding?
Hey, hey, where you going?
Did you believe it?
Did they tell you all you want you could have?
Did you waste your life away?
Did you give up?
Did you try to escape reality
And fly away in the night?
Seeker, what you finding?
Headlights got you blinded.
Run, run, why you hiding?
Hey, hey, where you going?

Living Word

I will never surrender,
no pretender
And you’ll never get to me,
Cuz everyones in a coma
where they own ya
And you don’t even know it.
I was under the spell.
I never wanted your title
You don’t own me
Not defined by your label.
Don’t put me in a corner
In your order
Confined and restricted.
I was under the spell.
I’d been running in circles
until I couldn’t run anymore.
I was weary and broken
Lying helpless on the floor.
I’d been doing it my way
I hadn’t listened before.
You cared enough to pursue me.
You’re what I’d been looking for.
Through the living and enduring
Word of God you’ve been born again.
Through the Living and enduring
Word of God imperishable.
I’d been running in circles
until I couldn’t run anymore.
I was weary and broken
Lying helpless on the floor.
I’d been doing it my way
I hadn’t listened before.
You cared about to pursue me.
You’re what I’d been looking for.

Hello, my beautiful
You leave me with nothing left to say.
You robbed me of my innocence
You flashed a smile and then you turned away.
Hello euphoria,
I wish you had shown me your true face,
Cuz every night I chased you through the maze.
You left me for dead and all alone.
And time will tell where we go from here
And answers come when we listen
Don’t hold so tight to what you can’t let go
As pixels turn to a picture.
Hello you wicked veil,
You had me so tightly in your grasp
Each slip turned into the next,
Each sin fades into the rest.
And time will tell where we go from here
And answers come when we listen
Don’t hold so tight to what you can’t let go
As pixels turn to a picture.
So goodbye you dirty trick.
I held you up in my own disregard
To self destruct before I could be free,
An endless game to fill an endless need.
And time will tell where we go from here
And answers come when we listen
Don’t hold so tight to what you can’t let go
As pixels turn to a picture.

It’s all such a shame but I can’t look away.
Desire the vile as we go down in flames.
Unnerved, I want to run
But I just stop and stare
Frozen in place as shadows fill the air.
Desire the Vile, abuse, divide.
Our hands destroy, desire the vile.
We’ve wandered so far
And now we’re all confused.
When none of this makes sense
There’s nothing left to lose.
Desire the vile, abuse, divide.
Our hands destroy, desire the vile.

Just Another Highway
05:40
|
|||
|
The floor is on the ceiling
The patterns rise and fall.
With every moment you feel the walls
Start closing in.
The days feel like you’re dreaming,
You hide yourself away.
But any day now you’ll come apart
and everyone will know.
It’s the same
in a different way
The sky looks like a movie.
The seasons come and go.
You never noticed it’s been so long
Since where you’ve been.
It’s the same in a different way
In another time and another day.
In the end it’s just another highway,
Just another road with hope around the bend.
Your eyes are feeling heavy
There’s ringing in your ears.
It’s such a bother, the back and forth,
Ever up and down.
It’s the same in a different way
In another time and another place.
In the end it’s just another highway,
Just another road with hope around the bend.
You were sold with a silver line,
Taken for a ride, taken for your life.
And in the end you tried to find your highway
Not the narrow road and the hope of the savior.

Attic
06:11
|
|||
|
Up the stairs and push the door wide open
The shadows lay across the creaking floors
You’ve made your mind and it’s no time for panic
You place your hands upon the chest of drawers
The thoughts were raised to disconnect your body
You use the keys you’ve long since thrown away
You can’t believe the memories forgotten
There’s so much that the years can change
The distance is growing
Yeah, you were someone else
There’s so much that the years can change
Hold the picture up to see the faces
Squint your eyes and wipe the dust away
You said goodbye from this side of heaven
To close the door and live again today
The distance is growing
Yeah, you were someone else
There’s so much that the years can change
Close the basement door and board the attic
try to hide the tears you've locked away
keep it in the dark and dusty corner
out of sight, to die a slow decay
time has turned the book to different pages
You wish the chapters there had gone unread
The edges worn, the paper torn and yellowed
The words are knives you buried in your head.

On Air
05:28
|

|
Its a perfect night to take a ride
we're going out of town as daylight fades away
The long arms of the streetlights
are reaching out for you
the windows down
the breeze kisses your face
And you're walking on air
Yeah, you're walking on air
Take it in and hold on to the moment
you blink your eyes and it all passed you by
some day you'll look back and say
"man, those were the days"
and it will never be the same again.
Your mind is full of wonder
and the wind is in your hair
I wish we were young forever
when you're walking on air
