I've seen life torn from truth Desperation lies; (honey) who are you Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through And if you're here, come on help me out Never had a fear; never had a doubt Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through I've seen life torn from truth Desperation lies; (honey) who are you Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through Don't wanna fight no more; I've seen it through (I have, I've seen it through)

Hello father midnight bring with me no woman ask of you no freedom I beg you no love I come walking as a stranger time is my companion it's just my head is spinning and I walk this earth alone Peace unto my brothers health unto my family I am weak, forgive me you know I mean no harm Lest I be a failure heal my heart from empty I'm so afraid of losing I'm afraid to have lost Faith me drowned in these truth me woken from sleep love you tempt my soul soul you tempt my all Carry humble thy fortune be at peace with thyself if your peace is a burden put it back on the shelf I need only compassion I need only a warm hand I talk myself in circles though I had it planned Faith me drowned in these truth me woken from sleep love you tempt my soul soul you tempt my all Hello father midnight bring with me no woman ask of you no freedom I beg you no love I come walking as a stranger time is my companion it's just my head is spinning and I walk this earth alone Peace unto my brothers (I walk this earth alone) health unto my family I am weak, forgive me you know I mean no harm Lest I be a failure heal my heart from empty I'm so afraid of losing I'm afraid to have lost Faith me drowned in these truth me woken from sleep love you tempt my soul soul you tempt my all

Demons 04:25
lyrics

Born into a lifetime of razorblades and angels Raised among the few I'm the fire between the candles And there's a demon in my basement and it starts right here and he's looking right at me I'm in a room full of mirrors Running for salvation on a violation for doing what he told me to do Afraid of what would go down I just tried to slow down prayed for everyone I knew With the will of a disciple four letter words came he shouting seems our mouth is a vessel when our heart starts doubting And he's got a hold of me now it's getting more than I can handle here's my picture in the paper I got my own church scandal Running for salvation on a violation for doing what he told me to do Afraid of what would go down I just tried to slow down prayed for everyone I knew Sin, you can't erase when you're in the same place dark one: he's just afraid maybe it's just a crazy game Running for salvation on a violation for doing what he told me to do Afraid of what would go down I just tried to slow down prayed for everyone I knew Where would my demons go without you Where would my demons go without you Blessed be my heart and soul cause without you Where would my demons go without you

It Starts With You 05:18

Hurry, I'm passing time in dangerous ways and I'd appreciate some empathy to show you fell and felt for me Through my world is grey and plastered in white silk that wraps around me this is sure embedded you're…. It's hard to let go of you some times am I wrong for letting you be my life Hurry, I'm lifting lifted days that are pounding faster now that I am blessed with sky So now can reach up, reach out even if some cloud should wipe me out at least I've had my day to say "I love you" that way And it's hard to let go of you sometimes am I wrong for letting it be my life My mind my mind it starts with you and then it turns back in pages And you're right you're right we're never through we just go on in stages My mind my mind it starts with you and then it goes on in phases You're right you're right we're never through we just go on in stages and I… When it all began I was a camera without a picture When it all began I held on to your every last word When it all began my heart stopped growing colder When it all began I was trying to be that picture with you My mind my mind it start's with you and then it turn's back in stages You're right you're right we're never through we're just sands through the ages My mind my mind it starts with you and then it goes on in phases You're right you're right we're never through we just turn back the pages and I… But it starts with you it starts with you it starts with you it starts with you It starts with…you

Like a locomotive on an unchanged track you call the shots and ask to be forgiven oh no There are endless hours I live outside of time speak from the heart and there you'll find me oh no Started the rain, you started to react You've watched your pride now who will watch your back And I will and I will and I will And I will and I will and I will It's not that I don't want to listen I just don't want to hear you talk small men and everything that's holy There's no endless wisdom the human mind can only do so much speak from the heart and there you'll find me oh no You started the rain, I started to react You've watched your pride no who will watch your back And I will and I will and I will And I will and I will and I will And I will and I will and I will And I will… (you get the idea) Like a locomotive on an unchanged track you call the shots and ask to be forgiven

I'm coming in your heart open the door, you might as well wait here time go by so fast I swear you won't even know I'm gone Just wait one more year and we'lla left off where we started (yeah) wait a little longer now maybe forever will be on our side If I was another man then maybe I'd stay it's another way to go when another goes away And if you'd only lift your heart then maybe you'd find you may be all alone but not so far behind In paradise in paradise in paradise I will fall That wind that blows you down it's the same wind that cold your face (now) That fire that scolds your hand it's the same flame that keeps you warm If I was another man then maybe I'd stay it's another way to go when another goes away And if you'd only lift your heart then maybe you'd find you may be all alone but not so far behind In paradise in paradise in paradise I will fall We know each other let the fire in us start… If I was another man then maybe I'd stay it's another way to go when another goes away And if you'd only lift your heart then maybe you'd find you may be all alone but not so far behind In paradise in paradise in paradise I will fall We know each other let the fire in us start… (Tu connais moi Tu connais moi et c'est le temps de relancer mon ami)

When you're driving down the street and you're feeling a little unwell don't give up on faith when the weight is on your shoulders Well we are who we are and God himself couldn't change if it meant giving up on faith when the weight is on your shoulders Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now son Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now look at me now look at me now You know you ain't alone in the world get that notion out of your head we ain't stranded here, we got ourselves to lean on And if pain is your best friend and you lie sorry on the edge of your bed love ain't no emotion it's the weight taken off your shoulders Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now son Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now look at me now look at me now I am a deck of cards floating in the ocean I am the space between words the meek the tired and the fallen When you're driving down the street and you're feeling a little unwell don't give up on faith when the weight is on your shoulders Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now son Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now son… Hey won't you look at me now son hey won't you look at me now look at me now Look at me now Look at me now

Love's Grace 04:33

Heard a rumour that the whole world was getting together all the activists and idealists would confer for the sake of life itself Heard a rumour that the ashes of our lives are still burning from the channels that your turning I can see perhaps that life is not okay The pages we write got too ugly for the children to be learning I am tired of immorality--I am tired of the consumption of time itself For there's no crime for there's no justice and our lives are ever-winding there's no time for imperfection for your feelings kept at bay There's no love and there's no beauty but the tide is still worth riding we've wandered from love's grace so we're never quite okay Speak to the crowd of angry strangers from all around believe so strong in fists that your heart is stolen silent from below Who are we to say that things are not meant to be this way suffering in collision with anger and love from all ends of the earth For there's no crime for there's no justice and our lives are ever-winding there's no time for imperfection for your feelings kept at bay There's no love and there's no beauty but the tide is still worth riding we've wandered from love's grace so we're never quite okay Hey now my son, cry no more tears can make a river but love can open a door Together in the world we may never have to say goodbye hold close to your heart "with love you'll fly" Hey a lala… For there's no crime for there's no justice and our lives are ever-winding there's no time for imperfection for your feelings kept at bay There's no love and there's no beauty but the tide is still worth riding we've wandered from love's grace so we're never quite okay (For there's no crime for there's no justice)

Holy hell, whatcha living in of who and what you thinking Climb up to the wall and scream aloud and shout till I'm forgiven Well I can be whoever you were planning for me to be The sound of the ground it may well be well Sometimes life is a bitter pill given us to swallow I give thanks that your love is still console me in my hollow sorrow Pass me up, but don't look when I turn away I may give up the sound of the ground you may well be well Time is everlasting as long as you want it to last faith is just believing that maybe this is all for the best Oh my heart what do you expect it's the only world I'm sharing if I fell deep into a tidal wreck bless your soul for caring Maybe just remember us in wanderlust and feed your sheep with sound of the ground it may well be well Be well Be well

Future I'm on the road slow man walking let the dark cover my eyes courage hear me talking I'm gonna get it back gonna get it back gonna get it back It's my turn My shelter is a raging storm and the rest just a memory I cannot change what has changed things o it's my darkness that's made me But I'm gonna get it back gonna get it back gonna get it back It's my turn I can stand I can stay I can live I can pray Don't get so down when they push you around It's my turn I take wisdom from the indivisible can't see it anyway things unseen I alone rely on to get me through the day Well now they can hear me stand like a tower of waterfalls the solace of a basement man can't the hours between phone calls And I'm gonna get it back gonna get it back gonna get it back It's my turn I can stand I can stay I can live I can pray Don't get so down when they push you Don't get so down when they push you around It's my turn

about
