Closer

They have calculated outcomes we just pray the numbers lied
it’s all calm here on the surface but a war rages inside
and she lays still tonight
pull me closer while I count the days
until I see your face
until I look into your eyes
when I’m tired you can carry me
until I see your face
until I look into your eyes
we can fire back
another plan of attack
something to tip the scales in our favor again
if we’re expecting less
we just allow the glass to drain empty through the cracks in the bottom
and wash away
don’t wash away tonight
this is life
and I am passing through
but this world has been caught lying about what it is I’m here to do
this is life
it’s mine to waste or use
but it’s time that I decided
it’s time for me to choose
cause who am I
that you would die to prove
that the worthless are all worth it
the curse has been removed
so this is life
and though I’m passing through
I wanna live as if I’m dying
dying to get close to you

I Am

I am a fuse lit burn and glow so you’d better get away
if you can’t defuse I will explode look at this mess I’ve made
I am the hero I am the snake caught in both lives
look past the fangs and just see the cape we’ll pretend that it’s alright
but you see who I am
underneath it all
I am redemption I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can’t control
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
stand up tall and say that this is who I am
I am addiction wrapped in a blanket of self control that’s worn so thin and tattered that the air seeps through the holes
I am admission to a history of falling short
a past that’s held me captive from accepting I am yours
but I am yours underneath
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I’m sure to steer myself somewhere that I do not belong
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I’ll put my hope in grace and know I’m never too far gone
this is my redemption
my reward
I am a tragic Wreck made perfect by a love I don’t deserve

The Alchemist
03:36
|

the problem is the alchemy
it just might be the death of me
cause I know that I’m stuck but I’m not giving up that easy
I know there’s got to be a way to mix these things and somehow make the perfect recipe
There simply has to be
for years I’ve been a scientist respected and esteemed
this lab became my home
these formulas are my family
when I’m sought out to find a cause it simply means one thing
failure’s not allowed
the truth will be revealed to me
I’ve found the answer
it’s not what I was searching for-- no
it seems science can’t explain
in full detail everything to me
my work has been in vain
there’s no way to replicate these things
The evidence is on my desk and strewn about my lab
but there’s no cause to this effect something everything should have
now I retreat accept defeat
admit that I’m a fool
for ever trying to explain the unexplainable
what am I supposed to say
shall I tell them all to live by faith
and stand there as they laugh right in my face
there’s no system there’s no method here and that’s not the way we operate

You Will Remain
03:25
|

|
I’ve put stock in things now vanishing invested time and energy
this fleeting world it flies by too soon
and I’ve focused on the past alas it seems these things weren’t built to last
I watch them fall and crumble next to you
the burdens that we carry are all temporary
photographs and memories will fade
the storms we’re left to weather will not last forever
when all is said and done you will remain
we’re passengers transitioning from highs to lows and in between
exhausted by the search it seems we’re spent
to dwell to keep it in my mind ensures that I’d be left behind
confused by life and asking where it went
consistently you’ve shown consistency
in a world where ever-changing means that nothing’s here to stay
still you remain
and when the lights finally fade
we’ll find ourselves standing face to face
with things that I’ve gripped tight and hoped to save
your hand is clenched in mine to do the same

Ringing In My Head
03:14
|
|||
|
Staring at the bedroom ceiling
wondering if I’ll start dreaming
but my doubts and fears won’t let me be
these questions burn I toss and turn in hope of finding peace
your words keep ringing through my head
calling me
calling me
I feel the weight of what you’ve said
come to me
come to me and you’ll find rest
I love to talk but I hate to listen
I wanna move but I need direction
this endless search for answers
has torn me down and now I’ve found
it’s leading back to you
the echo of your voice
breaking through the noise
I am listening
I am listening

The Last Song I Sing
03:38
|
|||
|
I’ve been thinking lately how time keeps moving on
can't believe the summer's come and gone
I’d hate to think I’ve wasted chances to convey
what we both know but I don’t always say
and I just need to know you're listening
if this is the last song that I sing
let it be honest
let it be true
if this is the last song that I sing
I want it to say I love you
I love you
seems our time together is easily consumed
listening to everything that I’ve been going through
I’m so tired of the thief that I've become
I’m ready now to change my ways
sorry that it took so long
in everything I know you’re listening
