Forsaken

I recall going madly in love with you
and I remember this, how could I forget
Regret is a needle in my neck
It's slowly filling me with poison
Spreading to my chest

Take my pain and numb me from this

Chorus:
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken

I recall pledging my sole devotion to you
It reminds me how now I'm on my knees
My guilt consumes, lost the will in me
Wasting away before you
Hold me closer please

Forsake
You break me
You're breaking me


Savior

I'm everything you've wanted
I am the one whose haunting you
I am the eyes inside of you, stare back at you
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove
Surrender your love, it's all you can do

Chorus:
What you got, what you want, what you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
But i know, yeah i know
What you got what you want, what you need
Gonna be your savior
Everything's gonna crash and break
Your savior

It's time to redefine your deophobic mind
Don't hesitate, there's no escape
From secrets on the inside
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove
Surrender your love, it's all you can do

(chorus)

I am the eyes inside staring back at you
You need me


Open Wounds

In the dark with the music on,
Wishing I were somewhere else.
Taking all your anger out on me.
Somebody help.
I would rather rot alone then spend a minute with you.
I'm gone, I'm gone.

And, you can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault.

Chorus:
How could you, how could you,
How could you hate me
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you,
How could you love me
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?

Downstairs the enemy sleeps,
Leaving the T.V. on.
Watching all the dreams we had turn into static.
Doesn't matter what I do.
Nothing's gonna change - I'm never good enough.

And, you can't stop me from falling apart
Cause my self-destruction is all your fault.

(Chorus)

Tell me why you broke me down
And betrayed my trust in you.
I'm not giving up, giving in
When will this war end?
When will it end??

You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
You can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self destruction is all your fault.

(Chorus)

Collide

We have fallen, we have fallen again tonight
Where do we go from here, when they're tearing down our lives?
When all they want is, when all they want is for us to live in fear
How long can we hold on? Can we hold on? Hold on!

Chorus:
There's something deep inside
It keeps my faith alive
When all you can do is hide from the fear that's deep inside of you
Something to hold me close when I don't know
There's something deep inside that keeps my faith alive

We are healing, but it's killing us inside
Can we take a chance when faith and fear collide
We can make it, step out and take it
We can't live feeling so numb
How long can we hold on? Can we hold on? Hold on!

(chorus)

(chorus)


A Little More

Love is all around you now so take a hold
Hidden in our words it sometimes ain't enough
Don't suffocate day after day, it's building up
'cause when you're feeling weak you know I'm strong enough

Just one more day, one more day

Chorus:
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Love can take a little, love can give a little more

Love is indestructible so take a hold
Sometimes hard to find a reason good enough
I'll stand beside you never leave, through it all
And faith will bring a way to the impossible

Just one more day, one more day

(chorus)

You can find me
You can find me
You can find me anywhere
Take a look over your shoulder
I'll be standing there


My Obsession

Your touch, your ways leave me dumb without reason
Your love, my cage, my prison so pleasing
I spend my days tangled in thoughts of you
Stuck in this place resigned to be your fool

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

Chorus:
You're my only infatuation
Don't leave my stranded in my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Come down to me, don't ever say that it's over
I kiss your feet, worship the air you breathe
Your love, my gift, you go and I will follow
My dream, my wish, don't leave me here so helpless

(prechorus)
(chorus)

I am a lunatic
I'm going crazy
For just a word from
For just a touch from you

And I'm exploding like chemicals
I'm going crazy, can't get enough


Fingernails

Chorus:
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering under my fingernails
(All my dreams out of reach under my fingernails)

I'm empty, lonely, and accused, accused without a word
My fingernails are chipping down from clawing in the dirt
I'm so lost, lost and confused, I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful when I'm so afraid?

(chorus)

I watch it all slip through my hands, my brokenness revealed
I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm crying to be filled
I'm killing, destroying the plague that's killing me away
I've got to live, I've got to love like I'm unafraid

(chorus)

I'm wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting, tasting every moment with you
I'm suffering, I'm bleeding, on my knees
Who's gonna see me suffering, bleeding? Save me from this pit of frailty!

Never reaching me!


Imperfection

You're worth so much
It'll never be enough to see what you have to give
How beautiful you are
Yet seem so far from everything you're wanting to be

Tears falling down again
Tears falling down

Chorus:
You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can i be somebody else for all the times i hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
You're drowning in your imperfection

You mean so much
That heaven would touch the face of humankind for you
How special you are
Revel in your day
You're fearfully and wonderfully made

Tears fall down again
Come let the healing begin

(chorus)

You're worth so much
So easily crushed
Wanna be like everyone else
No one escapes
Every breathe we take dealing with our own skeletons

(chorus)

Won't you believe it? Won't you believe it?
All the things I see in you
You're not the only one, you're not the only one drowning in imperfection.


Under My Skin

When I feel You close to me it's easy to believe
To the depths and back again to find that I'm still needing
Feel the fear dissipate when You are everything You are
Feel my soul come awake, You carry me away

Chorus:
When I hurt, when I bleed
You're holding me
Feel you scratching at the surface
Under my skin

Oh the sweet serenity, I'm beautifully addicted
You are more than I can take, I crave you undiluted
You calm the ache, I come awake when you are everything you are
Feel the fear dissipate, You carry me away

Could I be lost, could I dissapear
Could I be lost, would You find me here
Could I be lost in a secret place
Could I rest in the shadow of Your face
Oh the sweet serenity, beautifully a part of me


Energy

Power is another word that I use to describe you
Your mighty winds come in and blow me away
Frightening, coming at me like lightning
It's you that I fear, yeah yeah
I shake whenever you speak my name

And I'm surrounded
You overpower me

Chorus:
You're a silent rage
You're a hurricane
You are everything I cannot see and can't explain
You're an enigma wrapped in a mystery
Everywhere I go, I can't escape your energy

Divine is a reality that you define
You defy time
I see you in everything in fire and wind and rain
Captured is just the word to capture how I feel
when I still
You are what I crave
You set me free I want to be your slave

(prechorus)
(chorus)

I can't escape your energy


Cycle Down

Crashing, covered with debris
Dwelling in my own pity
Cry like I have not, dig like I had not
I start to claw, gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

Chorus:
I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down

Sinking in a sea of self
Deception never sold so well
Regret like I have not, pain like I don't want
I start to claw, gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

(chorus)

I'm so cold and I wonder
How'd I make it this long without You
Pull me out, out from under
On the cycle back to You
