You are infatuated, with what consumes you. Put the victim on the front lines, and left for dead. Stop acting like there's no, no other option, But to let the waves carry you away.
Can you hold the water responsible for your wayward behavior? Anymore then it blames you for its gripping currents.
Erase the proof, erase the proof But your shame will remain. Your shame will remain. Will remain. Your shame will remain. Your shame will remain.
Your mind is the mountain before you.
Will you always need someone to hold your hand, And talk you through the night's shadows. It's so much easier to fight this war when you're the last in line. When you're the last in line.
Can you hold the water, Can you hold the water responsible for your wayward behavior? Anymore then it blames you for its gripping currents.
What will you become, what will become of you? What will you become, what will become of you?
Your mind is the mountain before you.
You've reached the summit, now transcend the skies. You've reached the summit, now transcend the skies.
This hollow feeling, The knowledge that you exist Amidst your insecurities. Cover up only to coward out, And never shutting up Only to never speak aloud. Have you dried up entirely?
The walls of a church don't make it holy. It's what's authentic that completes the sum of its parts. Don't excuse yourself from life today on the pretense of your past.
You're hurt. You're broken. That's alright. This might be what it takes to wake you up... (This might be what it takes to wake you up.)
Are you at your wits end yet? Are you at your wits end yet? Are you at your wits end, Are you at your wits end yet?
The walls of a church don't make it holy. Security isn't glitzy or glamorous, concrete or cohesive. Therein lies the truth. Lift your head up high...
It's what we know we aren't, that makes us who we are. It's what we know we aren't, that makes us who we are.
You're hurt. You're broken. That's alright. That makes us who we are (who we are). You're hurt. You're broken. That's alright. That makes us who we are.
Everything looks the same. It's all so watered down. Where does our anchor lie? Where does our anchor lie? Yeah!
There's no identity in other's insecurities. We're told everything will be alright. Hush up, sit tight while sold a science and proved what's impossible... What's impossible. Hush up, sit tight while sold a science and proved what's impossible.
Hold up. Hold on. Let's go. It might really hurt this time. Hold up. Hold on. Let's go. It might really hurt this time. Hold on... Hold up. Hold on. Let's go. It might really hurt this time. Let's go.
Why are we led by a misled generation? Everything true and complete is cut out...
Everything true and complete is cut out, And swept under the floor boards, left to drown... Left to drown in an...
Ocean... Ocean... Ocean... Of apathy.
We can fight the current, but we can't climb the waterfall.
Why are we led by a misled generation, Left to drown in an Ocean... Ocean... Ocean... Of apathy. Ocean... Ocean... Ocean... Of apathy.
Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life It's not about my beliefs, it's about personal choice It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you Ask me to be blameless, you ask me to be blameless You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what's right? Don't say another word
Don't say another word You've crossed the line Don't say another word You've crossed the line Don't say another word You've crossed the line Don't say another word You've crossed the line Let's go...
I won't hesitate to put you in your place You are the straw that's crushing my back You ask me to be blameless You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what's right? Don't say another word
However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition Thank you for the inspiration.
You're the straw that's crushing my back You are the salt that's burning my wounds You're the straw that's crushing my back You are the salt that's burning my wounds You're the straw that's crushing my back You are the salt that's burning my wounds
This ship is sinking, deeper and deeper. We've abandoned this vessel and left the captain for dead. Waves thirst for our passing. Waves thirst for our passing. Prepare for the struggle. Prepare to engage.
Our armor tight to the skin, this shield it bears His name. We are strapped to the teeth, but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats. We are going under.
We cannot swim under these conditions. We're drowning quicker and quicker. We cannot swim, we cannot swim, we can't swim under these conditions. We are drowning quicker and quicker. We cannot swim, we cannot swim under these conditions...
We have become what we have feared, We have become what we have feared, being one with this world. We've become one with this world.
Pray for Heaven's titans to rain down, and spare us the pain. We're going under. We're going under. Pray for Heaven's titans to rain down, and spare us the pain. We're going under. We're going under. Under, under, under, under...
This plane's going down in flames, And this time there's no black box to capture your last words. A situation we can't make any sense of. Sacrifice costs all of us everything.
This is the time to turn down our heads and turn up our hearts. There's no scale to... (there's no scale to...) balance this out. Some say may those who curse days, curse this day. There's no scale to... (there's no scale to...) balance this out.
How does a man wrap his mind around eternity, When he can't even... (when he can't even...) Explain his own... (explain his own...) composition? Don't you see it's bigger than you?
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, And the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame. He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, And the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame.
The earth will swallow the water. The clouds refill the oceans. The earth will swallow the water and spit out. The clouds will refill, refill the oceans. The earth will swallow... (Old mountains will crumble) The water and spit out. (...and stronger ones will rise). The clouds will refill... (This is the portrait) Refill the oceans. (...of the humble and broken).
This plane crashed down in flames...(down in flames...) With a man who lived, who died, to better this world. David, rest in peace.
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, And the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame. He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, And the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame.
Bite your tongue until it bleeds. This pain is worth more than what you have to say. Swallow your pride because silence is golden, And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.
Lie down your guard and surrender. All that you're proving is your ignorance. Lie down your guard and surrender. All that you're proving is your ignorance.
Choose your words carefully. He that keeps his mouth keeps his life; He that opens his lips too wide Shall bring on his own destruction [Proverbs 13:3].
Bite your tongue until it bleeds. The pain is worth more than what you have to say.
Swallow your pride. Swallow your pride because silence is golden, And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.
Lie down your guard. Lie down your guard and surrender. Lie down your guard and surrender. Lie down your guard and surrender. Lie down your guard and surrender. Lie down your guard and surrender. Lie down your guard and surrender.
The people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert. [Jeremiah 31:2] I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. [Jeremiah 31:4] I am the painter making this mess a masterpiece. I will rebuild you up again.
See yourself to the exit. We can't afford to watch you resort to this (resort to this). Even hope hides in the shadows.
Nothing is real. Color is black, is white, is color blind. Tucking away what's true, what's tangible. Nothing is real. Color is black, is white, is color blind. Tucking away what's true, what's tangible...
You're crashing faster, and there won't be pieces to piece back together this time. Can't you see you're ringing? You're ringing out.
This is dissonance. This is dissonance. It's in the quiet of this place (This is dissonance.) That all things come to life. (This is dissonance.)
All that is real is blurred by your notion of reality. All that is real is blurred by your notion of reality.
Nothing is real. Color is black, is white, is color blind. Tucking away what's true, what's tangible. Nothing is real. Color is black, is white, is color blind. Tucking away what's true, what's tangible.
You skeptic, you. You believe in unbelief. You skeptic, you. Now you're the hypocrite. You can't hide from this. You can't hide from... You can't hide from this. You can't hide from this.
This moment will too pass us by. It's this notion inside all of us to prioritize through our selfish eyes. To be the bull behind the rampage, the reason for all the riot.
We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's, With more problems and less pride. We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's, The gallows were not supposed to look like this.
Oh God, we live in misery, lying here in desperation. We need you here more than anything right now...right now.
If everything's relative, then why the emptiness in our souls? If everything's relative, then why the emptiness in our souls?
Trying to untie the knot we thought we were untying our entire lives, We're busied up and burnt out...
Everyone together, we will strengthen ourselves. Everyone together, we will strengthen ourselves. Everyone together, we will strengthen ourselves.
We will.... Because now we know you won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn. Stop, listen, and learn. You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn. You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn. You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn. You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen, and learn.
I used to be so young and invincible. The mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me. The face that stares back in the mirror Should carry nothing but pride. As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high.
I've never been so tired, I've never felt so weak, But I swear to you, I swear to you that I'm not giving up. I've never been so tired, I've never felt so weak, My storied life is coming to a graceful descent. Descend.
I see peace end and battles begin. I see peace end and battles begin.
I won't forget the lives I touched. I won't forget the life I know. As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high. I used to think I'd last forever. I'm praying for the light to just carry me away. Say goodnight. Say goodbye. This is my time to be with my Lord.
