- Blister
From the outside looking in. Constant failure was the only friend I had. Taking everything for granted. This pity party in my head. Without You I’m as good as dead. Always playing victim. Always feeling sorry for myself. And blaming everyone else. I teeter on this soapbox, the tilt before the fall. My precipice of selfishness, I keep hitting a wall. Always falling off this beaten path, I’m tired of fading away. Trying to shed this weight, on my own. And it isn’t working out, I’m tired of fading away. From the grace You set in place. On my own, sometimes I’m up. Sometimes I’m down. Help me not hate myself for having my doubts. Sinking in the guilt I’m still running from. Lost in the lies I haven’t repented of. Memories like bullets, fired from a gun. Cracking me open. Nobody knows the trouble I’ve been. Nobody knows the trouble I’ve been, but You. This selfish masquerade that I have been putting You through. Nobody knows the trouble I’ve been, but You. Nobody knows, no one but You.
- Disconnected
I've been chasing an image that I have had as far back as my mind will let me go. The older I get, the less I seem to care. Maybe I was wrong. Am I looking at life through closed eyes, or am I starting to understand I was called for more than living this life without taking chances? Father, give me direction. I am so lost. Lost in my own skin. I can't go on pretending, but it feels so good to finally admit that these dreams we set were never enough. We were meant for more. Selfish men die with empty hands. Judge me on what I do with the time that I am here. You know my heart. You know my every desire. You know my heart. Help me see this life through your eyes, because all I see is a world so hopeless, we are so helpless without You. Make us new. Give us the heart to chase after You. Make me new. Give me the heart to chase after You. Change my heart. Make me new.
- No Future
Empty hearts and muted voices are the fabric of this world
With spirits sunk so low you can see the bottom
There’s a hole deep within us all, never fulfilled
Let us say a prayer for those who walk the earth when we’re no longer here
Destroy our indifference and burn with despair
Forgive my ignorance, this is all I can bear
No grace, no love, no light, no future, no hope
- Worn Out
Locked inside this unstable mind. A daily struggle to get out from behind these cold, dark walls that are caging me in. I will hold my own in a world that means nothing to me. There is so much more than the chains that are holding you back. What are you still searching for if the answers are there in your hands? Give it up; give up the life you planned. The things you gain will leave you in the end. Hold to the promise of a life made new. If you can give up your ways that life will come to you. Give it up. Is that what you want? Give it up. Possessions will weigh you down. But when there's nothing to save you, is it too late to turn around? You can fall down as far as you let yourself. Blinded by the world that surrounds you. Cast aside the fears of uncertainty. Look past the lies that you've been told for all your life. Because there's only one truth left to live for. There is only one truth. I've changed my ways and cleared my mind, gaining some distance on what I've left behind. I know my place, and I won't be deceived. I will take back the time that was stolen from me. I refuse to belong to a world that believes there is nothing more than this. This is not who I am. This is not for me.
