Outlines

You’re moving on,
You’re going somewhere.
Have you seen all that you’ve left behind?
You pick up pace,
Outrun the outlines
Of memories you don’t want to remind
Yourself of. Yeah, you’d rather pretend.
Then you find yourself
Running so far from life.
And all the answers
You never questioned
Eat at your mind.
Wandering aimlessly,
Praying you’ll never go back.
You’re slowly drowning,
Your future’s clouding
In light of your past.
You look at yourself without expression,
And you wonder what it all would be like
To surpass the world and gain attention
From those that you so valuably prize.
You ran away in search of fortune,
And you’d do it again.
Then you find yourself
Running so far from life.
And all the answers
You never questioned
Eat at your mind.
Wandering aimlessly,
Praying you’ll never go back.
You’re slowly drowning,
Your future’s clouding
In light of your past.

Counterfeit

You said I said the
One thing that I intend to do
Is listen closely and
This all just might make sense to you.
She raised her stare,
She caught my eye.
She left the room,
But not my mind.
They say I’m nothing but a counterfeit,
But I don’t really see the proof of it,
Do you?
They tell me lies
(Well I see nothing, how about you?)
Most of the time.
He said She said the
One thing that I should try to do
Is listen closer and
Your listening skills might just improve.
She raised the stakes,
Do you catch my drift?
She sailed away
On a sinking ship.
They say I’m nothing but a counterfeit,
But I don’t really see the proof of it,
Do you?
They tell me lies
(Well I see nothing, how about you?)
Most of the time.
Did you know?
Now you know.
I tried to understand, I really did.
This must’ve been because of what they said.
Now I may never trust a soul again.

Lost
05:50
|
|||
|
Dodging shadows on a dark night,
Wondering if I should even try
To find the truth.
Maybe a little bit of stage fright,
It’s getting harder just to pinpoint why
I can barely move
All over again.
Sometimes I find myself alone.
If I only knew
Where I was going.
Would You help me find my way?
Yeah, I was hoping
You’d have something more to say.
If I could break through and see You,
Just tell me what I have to do,
‘cause I’m still searching
For You.
You know when something doesn’t feel right,
And you can’t go ahead and let it lie?
You’ve got to see it through (until the end).
I hope this isn’t all in my mind,
They say I’m going too far this time.
Well I’ve seen their plans,
And what they’re trying to do
Is never going to work.
And I say
Where am I going?
Would You help me find my way?
‘Cause I’m so broken,
I’ve got poison in my veins.
If I could break through and see You,
Just tell me what I have to do,
‘cause I’m still searching.
I’ll put it all out on the line
Just to prove it’s not all in my mind.
I’ll put it all out on the line,
I know it’s not all in my mind.
I’ll stay the course,
Look far and wide,
I cannot run, I cannot hide.
For I am nothing without You,
Break down my walls and let me through.
I’ll give it up,
I’ll heed the call,
I’ll leave my home, I’ll sell it all.
Just show Your face and I’ll be through,
Just tell me what I have to do.
Though I may not have all the proof,
And though my body breaks in two,
In a desperate search for truth,
I trust in You.
There comes a time in your life
When all you’ve searched for comes to light.

Greater Things

Come on, don’t hide your face.
We’ve all got debt to pay.
Come on, don’t hide away.
We’ve all got a choice to make.
Come on now,
You can leave the past all behind.
It’s not easy, I can’t deny.
But if you and I are alive... (Romans 6:11-14)
Cut it loose, let it go,
You don’t have to fight.
All the rest have their worst,
I can show you mine,
But I know that the best
Hasn’t yet arrived.
Keep your head lifted high,
See the rising light.
Come on now,
You can break these chains.
What you’ve done
Doesn’t have to be
Who you are.
Can you feel it now
In your heart?
Something’s crying out
For you.
There are greater things
That we all shall see.
The coming king
Will set us free.
It’s not the end,
But a brand new start.
Just close your eyes,
And open your heart.
You can break these chains.
What you’ve done
It does not define who you are.
Can you feel it in your heart?
Something’s crying out for you.

Didymus (The Fool)
04:18
|
|||
|
I can’t reveal what I’ve been thinking,
Though I’m not sure what else to do.
One thing I’ve always thought was funny
Was playing the fool.
If I could find a way to believe you
I would, believe me.
If all I need is to touch you,
then where could you be?
All I know is I’m worthless,
As lost as can be.
I fear I’m running out
of time, and I find
my words aren’t coming out
Quite right.
And now the words seem to escape me.
Is it so hard to say “I do?”
One thing I’ve always thought was funny
Was playing the fool.
If I could find a way to believe you
I would, believe me.
If all I need is to touch you,
then where could you be?
All I know is I’m worthless,
As lost as can be.
I fear I’m running out
of time, and I find
my words aren’t coming out
Quite right.
They say the bad times
Will sometimes get us down.
Well with my two eyes,
I’ll stare into the ground for shame,
My lack of faith disturbs you
Just slightly more than I
Fear I’m running out
of time, and I find
my words aren’t coming out
Quite right.

Ungoliant

I was young,
Only about nine,
When I saw the creature the first time
I felt its touch,
It poisoned my mind,
But somehow seemed so sublime.
It’s getting way too
Hard for me to
Keep it down, I’ve got to tell you
How it feels to
Be a week full,
And everyday be hungry for more.
I walked the line straight in my head,
But off the ledge I slipped and fell.
Could someone tell me where I am?
Is this a PG-rated hell?
The silk around my waist
restricts my limbs, constricts my blood flow, now.
God let me down.
As I hang here,
I stare into the sky.
In this web I make my goodbyes.
I don’t think I
Will make it out alive.
Can no one hear my cries?
It’s getting way too
Hard for me to
Keep it down, I’ve got to tell you
How it feels to
Be a weak fool,
And everyday be hungry for more.
I walked the line straight in my head,
But off the ledge I slipped and fell.
Could someone tell me where I am?
Is this a PG-rated hell?
The silk around my waist
restricts my limbs, constricts my blood flow, now.
God, let me down from here,
where I’m trembling with fear.
I know that You will not let me down.
And so, I close my eyes
In faith, and hope from this web
That I shall be saved,
And awake on solid ground.
Because here,
In the depths of the wood,
Where nothing is sacred
And love succumbs to hatred,
Nothing is good.
I hear,
From the depths of the wood,
A sound that is coming,
Footsteps, they are running
To the ground where I stood.
I saw the bright lights up ahead,
But on your back it’s hard to see.
I’m tired of this life that I have led,
Full of inconsistency.
The binds around my chest
Are breaking now,
And I can finally breathe.

Aftermath

Where am I?
I wake up to see your face
And people scattered all around.
There’s got to be some story here,
Why are these people filled with fear?
My hands appear to have been bound.
So just lock me in a cage,
You won’t be sorry.
There’s not much left to save,
Save everybody.
When the sun goes down
It’s best if no one’s around to see.
What do you mean this was all me?
Who did I hurt and who did see
My transformation to this beast?
You mean to say I’ve wrecked this town
And killed the one who wore the crown?
What will these people do with me?
So just lock me in a cage,
You won’t be sorry.
There’s not much left to save,
Save everybody.
When the sun goes down
It’s best if I’m far away,
Far from here.
Just look at what I’ve done,
I should have been in chains.
Just please send me away.
(Swear you won’t return)
I swear I won’t return,
I’ll stay so far away.
Just don’t forget my name,
And learn from my mistakes.
So just lock me in a cage,
You won’t be sorry.
There’s not much left to save,
Save everybody.
When the sun goes down
I pray that you’re not around.
Because even I am afraid of me.
