Déjà Vu
05:11
|

How do we heal?
I don’t know but I’m still clinging to life
When doubt is all we feel
Do we let go and let hope die?
From the start, I gave my heart
Now i’m left to face the dark
On my own
I can’t deny the fire in my heart
But is it worth the way I tear myself apart
When there’s nothing to gain?
Sometimes I feel the weight is more than I can take
Time has revealed
That on my own, I can’t win this fight
And though hope is concealed
While I have breath, I’ll give it all my might
On my own
I won’t let you take what’s left of me

Yet So Far
04:51
|
|||
|
Is this me or someone I can’t be?
Is it a dream? because it’s always out of reach
But finally, it seems the pursuit is threatening
To pull the trigger, lose the key, and put me out of misery
Take my hand
Because I’m floating in the dark
And clouds have covered up the star
That I have been chasing with an honest heart
So close but yet so far
Will I survive or be washed out with the tide?
Or will I abide within a life denied?
Ambition may be blind, but trust my heart and not my eyes
And though I fight to stay alive, the enemy is in my mind
Take my hand so I can live again
I’m left picking up the pieces of this broken dream
Am I fighting for nothing but a hollow memory?
Through selfishness and sorrow, have I sown what I now reap?
But if I learn to let go, can I be truly free?

Starlight
04:34
|
|||
|
As night embraces the sky
The flame escapes from his eyes
How precious is the light that shines through the dark
And how careless are we to extinguish the spark
Let candles light the way
And let angels sing his name
What if this illusion is not what it seems?
What if we're trapped inside this dream?
If only I could find the will to breathe
Please open my eyes so I can see
That this life we live will never be the same
And we only have ourselves to blame
Let his star light the way
And pray that it won't leave me as it fades into the day
Please stay with me
Don't go
Don't leave me here alone
Please guide me down this path I wander
And wake me from my dreaming slumber

Wasted Life
05:12
|
|||
|
Give me a reason to go on
It seems my time has come and gone
Who knew a little rain could stop a beating heart
And cause me to tear myself apart?
Is nothing left?
Though I try to see the light
I wage a war inside myself that I can’t fight
Give me purpose
Because all I see is wasted life
Everything I am disintegrates and fades
Leaving history without a trace
Help me live by faith and find myself along the way
Because I’ve relied too long on my own strength
And gotten nowhere
The end is knocking at the door
But I still believe that I was built for more
Though I am shaken to my core
I know I was built for so much more
There must be something left
|

Heal the Heartache
04:28
|
|||
|
Can this be real?
It all seems so far away
Eternity in place
Though I cannot feel, some wounds won’t heal or fade
And their scars remain
Now I bear the memory of the life you never had
Take this pain away
End this suffering
I know there’s a reason for this fate
But it doesn’t heal the heartache
You’ll finally rest in peace
While I’m restless and in pieces
But I must live on for you
Because you’ll live on in me too
Though it’s so hard to let you go
I know you’re not alone
I know you’re in a better place
But I’d give my life for just one day
|

Along the Way
04:37
|
|||
|
What have I become?
I’m empty and I’m numb
I hurt the ones I love
But is it worth it in the end?
Will I be standing when it’s done?
Where is my strength?
With every step I take
It seems like I’m farther away
Where is my faith?
With every choice I make
Have I let fear control my fate?
Have I lost myself along the way?
It’s eating me alive
All these sleepless nights
Why do I even try
When everything I am is counter to
The way they live this life?
It’s in front of me
But do I believe my lies?
Walking in my sleep
So I cannot see the signs
Can I trust my eyes?
|
||||
8. |
Enough
07:17
|
|||
|
The seconds tick away
Like hours until there is no more pain
When you have flown away
An emptiness remains
In selfishness, my heart can only break
For what we lost that day, another gained
And I know that you're safe
And I know you've claimed your wings
But God help me
Because I don't have the strength to say goodbye
But I must say goodbye
Without you
I've lost my light
And I can't see at all
And if I gave it all my might
I'd never be enough
Because I can't even justify the air I'm breathing now
In your time you shined so bright
And I'd never be enough
Impressive shoes to fill
You helped define a path that I must follow
You're the example of the man I strive to be tomorrow
And I hope when you look down
You'll see you've made a difference
But God help me
Because I don't have the strength to carry on
And then I come to find
As if I finally see the light
You were never really gone
You will live on

Crashing Down
03:48
|
|||
|
Trapped in a world you create
You can’t see through this
And you can’t undo this
Shoot then take aim as you pass the blame
Do what it takes
No one stands in your way
As your world comes crashing down again
We all get what we’re due
As your world comes crashing down again
I can’t save you
Innocence disintegrates
We see the bruises from your abuses
The life you trade is your DNA
But still you hurt the gift you don’t deserve
You have to make a change
Before it’s too late
You can’t hide the truth
|

Artificial Paradise
05:08
|
|||
|
Were you lost along the way?
While searching for an answer, did you fall and lose your faith?
For heaven’s sake
Tempted by the power and addicted to the fame you gained
The soul is such a heavy price
For artificial paradise
And for the sin you sanctify
Was it worth your afterlife?
You said you’d heal their pain
While you were building mansions they were left out in the rain
You’re no man of faith
You promised them redemption for a dollar in exchange
When you’re face to face
With everyone you claimed to save
Though all you did was self-proclaim
What will you say?
One by one
Your lies begin to come undone
Can’t take your treasure when you’re gone
And in the grave
All the riches that you’ve chosen will burn away
And as you look upon the people you’ve led astray
Was it worth the price you paid?
|

Rain
07:04
|
|||
|
The rain brings new life
And washes all away
Release me from my binds
I am prepared for change
It feels the same to me
It’s all the same to me
Alone
I can feel the rain
And I’m not made to be alone
And I cannot see where you have gone
Today’s the same as yesterday
And I don’t know how much more of this
That I can take
The pain brings to light
All of my mistakes
Release me from my binds
I can feel the rain
The storm’s coming fast
And I cannot see the way
Let it all come down on me
I can feel the rain
I whisper in your ear
“I’m lost now”
“I’m lost now”
Don’t shed another tear
I’m lost now
I’m lost now

Home
06:01
|
|||
|
Do you remember running without knowing the way?
An unknown destination
We were young and unafraid
But the river’s overflowing and time is wearing thin
And I’m sorry you must endure this while I’m paying for my sins
I’m only half awake
I only have myself to blame
Lost at sea
In the night
In the storm’s undertow
Let the world pass me by
I don’t mind
In your arms
I’m home
Do you remember laughing?
Or life without a care?
The smiles on our faces replaced by the scars we bear
And I feel like I am failing
I’ve given all they take
But no matter how the wind may blow
I’ll bend but I won’t break
And when the tide submerges me
And the waves drag me underneath
You are the hand that pulls me to the safety of the shore
And when there’s no hope left, it seems
And shadows cover everything
You burn away the darkness with your radiant light
And I only have you to thank
Carry me through the fire
In this life’s afterglow
Lend me your strength to fight
There’s still time
In your arms
I’m home

Death is Not the End
04:48
|
|||
|
The walls around me fall apart
And the window’s closing
The evening breeze that travels though the dark
Has hints of winter
Will I find peace beyond the breach
Or lose my meaning as I plunge into the deep?
It echoes in my head
But this isn’t over
I’m not giving in
This temporary skin
Can’t confine me forever
Death is not the end
I still feel it in my heart
And I’ve never lost the spark
But I can’t shake this burning feeling
That I’ve been lost from the start
Should I hold my breath
And take the step into the unknown?
Or will I be left regret and emptiness?
Guide me home
Because I can hardly see the glow
Don’t let go
Each second I spend running
I’m closer to becoming
My ghost
