Again


I love the way that your heart breaks
with every injustice and deadly fate
Praying it all be new
and living like it all depends on you

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

I love that you’re never satisfied
with face value wisdom and happy lies
you take what they say and go back and cry
you’re so close to me that you nearly died

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

they don’t have to understand you
be still
wait and know I understand you
be still
be still

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
The floodgates are breaking
and pouring out

Here you are down on your knees
trying to find air to breathe
right where I want you to be again
i love you please see and believe again

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe!

In the dark


I've written songs in the dark
I've felt inspired in the dark
I hide myself in the dark
Used to be afraid of the dark
Those in the light know we die in the dark

There's only artificial light
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence

Fill this space Idle words
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did.

Now I am mute despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me and I am left to face me
I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did.

Glory shows up
Exposes us
I'm naked here
Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me in side this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
Like you did.

Swept away

Help help help
Out out out out out out out now now now now now

The evil fell from your pretty mouth
wrapped in your classic voice
Angelic in your syntax, demonic in
your motive your eyes don't know
That the water flowing from this well isn't fresh
Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up
Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Turn all the way around
Be swept away by this.

Time for surrender
Spread out your open hands
And He will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken
And watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this

Your clothes are smooth and spotless
The air is putrid sewage downwind of
your pressed church clothes
Your eyes are black and empty
Your deeds are just for showing how
big and bright your fake smile glows
I see you moving and their getting scared
Their eyes are focusing on something else
Your staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do.

See them surrender
Spread out your open hands
And he will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken
Look at the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this

I see you moving and their getting scared
Their eyes are focusing on something else
Your staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do
Get this hell out out of my way
There's nothing more that you can say so
Get this hell out get this hell
out out out of my way

We spread our open hands
And he is rising up
Repairing all that broken
Look at the healing come
We spread our open hands
Forgiveness holds them up
We're swept away by this.

Out out out out out out
Now now now now now now

The kind

Its like being in love you rob your own mind
and defile your bed
You ignore the fate of the players who both end up dead
And you pretend for us and you pretend for them
This fairytale will make them jealous of you

But its not the kind that you talked about
And its just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind

She is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it you wanna cut it off but instead you thank god for all of the wrong you do.

But its not the kind that you talked about
And its just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind

She is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it you wanna cut it off but instead you thank god for all of the wrong you do.

You cut the cord today with God's
hand to hold yours steady
He waits for you to apply the pressure
The warmth of His breath wrapped in His words
As He repeats His Truth after Truth after
Truth after Truth
And its just the kind the kind you talked about
and its just the kind
That clothes your mind with Christ
He is feeding you and you know the truth and I pray this is the last song I will sing to you
I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister, I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody.

Again

It's okay to breathe
As deep as you play
Your future with me is safe
You sing with my heart
As you pray

Here you are
Down at my feet again
Handing it all back
To me again
Right where I want you
To be again
I love you
Please see
And believe again

I love that you're
Never satisfied
With face value, wisdom
And happy lies
You take what they say
And go back and cry
You're so close to me
That you nearly died

Here you are
Down at my feet again
Handing it all back
To me again
Right where I want you
To be again
I love you
Please see
And believe again

They don't have
To understand you
Be still
Wait and know
I understand you
Be still
Be still

Here you are
Down at my feet again
Handing it all back
To me again
Right where I want you
To be again
I love you
I love you
I love you

Here you are
Down at my feet
Handing it all back
To me
Right where I want you
To be again
I love you
Please see
And believe again

Right where I want you
To be again
See and believe

Uncle Bobby


Knowledge came and devestated.
Pressure building behind her eyes.
Breathing buried under the weight.
Will she, has she died also this day?

Her death has been swallowed up by life.
This death will rise.
Dying to death,
and raising to life.

The moment we became alive,
death was waiting, chasing.
And all of us fell
and kept breathing.

One day, today ohhhh.
A spirit's alive, but a body has died.

And death has been swallowed up by life.
This death will rise.
Dying to death,
and rasing to life.
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry.
Death has been swallowed up by life.
This death will rise.

In the middle of
all the business
call to be still.
Multitude of words,
quiet be still.

And death has been swallowed up by life.
This death will rise.
Dying to death and rasing to life.
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry.
And death has been swallowed up by life.
This death will rise

Circle

Circle encircles the earth
Chance and choice break his heart
His innocent arm moves to save me and I am spared
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off
His heart ripped out to show me he loved
But I would not believe him
He did all that he could
I still would not believe him

I left his arms empty and tied
Out stretched for me until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died
No man shows greater love
Than when a man lays down his life
For his beloved

I left his arms empty and tied
outstretched until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
outstretched until he died

Here I'm alive
And I don't have the right
He gave me the right
Costing him his life
New mercy's in the morning

I believe! what if I believe you now
Could it ever change this

I believe! what if I believe you now
Could it ever change this

Who am I?

I'm so glad to be here
This day has become sacred
I'm trembling with thankfulness
For all of this

Who am I
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I
That you have brought me
So far

All those years of spoiled complaining
I said it's not enough
And you have forgiven me for everything
Everything
And you have given me everything
Everything

Oh, it's too much
It's too much
You're too much
You're too much

Who am I
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me
So far
Who am I?
Who am I that you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me
So far

Enemy

I have made you an enemy
I have been my own enemy
I am asking for you
to forgive me
For everything

If you don't
you're worthy of compassion
If you do
you're a better man than I am

If you don't know,
you're my family Enemy
I'm sorry
Oh, enemy, family
Forgive me

If you don't
you're worthy of compassion
If you do
you're a better man than I am
If you do
you're a better man than I am

Enemy, enemy, family, family

Break your knees

Breaks your knees and leaves you so
The sun can burn you up and wear you out
it's an angry summer

There's no room to smile
When the face you make just before you cry
Looks so young like a child

The sun will set on this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
you're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Life on earth will end for all conceived
And prove to be only a breath,
A mist, a womb for what's to come
How soon forever arrives

The sun will set on this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
you're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Steadfast my love
The end is near
Just keep your eyes ahead
Grab hold of me
I'll help you there
you're never on your own
you're never all alone

Life on earth will end for all conceived
And prove to be only a breath,
A mist, a womb for what's to come
How soon forever arrives

Breaks your knees and leaves you so
The sun can burn you up and wear you out
it's an angry summer

Don't look at the past again
The first and last has made everything new
And you are too
So lift your head
And let your story be told
Life on earth will end for all conceived
And prove to be only a breath,
A mist, a womb for what's to come
How soon forever arrives

The sun will set on this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
you're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal (forever arrives)

The sun will set on this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain

Life on earth will end for all conceived
And prove to be only a breath,
A mist, a womb for what's to come
How soon forever arrives

"Breathe Today"

You try your hardest to perfect your explanations...
You lie until they've run out of questions

You can only move as fast as,
Who's in front of you,
And if you assume,
Just like them,
What good will it do,
So find out for yourself
So your ignorance,
Will stop bleeding through.

Only one thing
Big enough to fill the void thats inside of you
It's just a breath away.
You can breathe today

So many lies swirling,
All around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

Logic forces me to believe in this,
And I have learned to see,
And I can only say what I've seen and heard,
And only you can choose,
And every choice you make will effect you,
Suit your own self.

You can breathe today

[x2]
So many lies swirling,
All around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

Breathe!!!

Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you,
It's just a breath away.

[x2]
So many lies swirling,
All around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

So many lies swirling,
All around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath (breath!),

So many lies swirling,
All around you (breath!),
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,

Breathe today.

Much like falling

When I said good morning
I was lying
I was truly thinking of
How I might quit waking up

He pointed out how selfish
It would be kill myself
So I keep waking up

It feels so much like falling
Dying while I wait to die
The fear of something or nothing
Lonely empty lie

I don't want to be a liar
I don't want to be selfish anymore
I want so much to change
Learning your love everyday
There's still so much to know

You grip my wrists
I let go

It feels so much like falling
Separated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here


It feels so much like falling
Separated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here
Far away from here

Christmas song

A frightened virgin teenage girl
Receives a message that defies the laws of this world
All she can do is weep and nod
She's to bring into this world the Son of God

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

A star appears fufilling ancient prophecy
There's an ounce of fear as wise men follow faithfully
The Virgin Mary brings forth the human savior
And this future king sleeps soundly in the manger
Soundly in the manger

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So He hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the price
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

Ocean waves

So many wasted days
Come and go like ocean waves
Hit like a freight train
And now I can't get off my face

How could I have been so blind
To simply let them die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you have filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand

Respect her ignorance
Just in case she takes offense
The darkness that's killing her
Well that is just not my concern

How could I have been so blind
To simply let them die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you have filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand

You're not guaranteed tomorrow
You're not guaranteed tomorrow

How could I have been so blind
To simply let them die
Who am I to spread my fingers
After you have filled my hands
Watching the moments slip through like desert sand
