Scars

Oh love, your will, your will (be done)
Oh love, your will, your will (be done)
When I was younger much younger then this
I knew there would be someone I'd miss
The day they said I would soon die
Hey that's the day when I came alive
Not to say I'd quiver and quake
But sometimes, that's my best mistake
Then every word spoke was always a lie
Should have known my luck was always that dry
Still, the stillness off the night
Brings to me each and every fight
The art of broken heart has found her place with me
In everything this is where I am free
This is where I am free
Well, do you believe me? Do you believe me?
Oh love, your will, your will (be done)
Oh love, your will, your will (be done)
Stars never burst above this hill of grace
They stay tender in this moment and space
From an old window I watch old dreams fade out
As I shelter what might be left in doubt
Still, the stillness off the night
Brings to me each and every fight
The art of broken heart has found her place with me
In everything this is where I am free
This is where I am free
Well, do you believe me? Do you believe me?
Forgotten are the places and names
when I had the presence of daylight on my side
Written on your heart is a face I'd like to remember
but for now I must call it a night

Empty Bed
06:04

Don't tell me lies
Just so you
Can learn how to survive
Don't tell me when
Cos' I know
Just where we will end
I write these songs
All day long
Just to reveal
What went wrong
Sometimes it comes
Off too strong
Others
Not at all
My fragile heart
Gives me reason to believe
This empty bed
Will remain
And choose your words
Carefully
This might be
The last time
You see me
And I quake
And shake
Like most do
Here
Love
And I tremble
And break
Like most do
Here
Love
Slow and steady be your motions
As you decide your emotion
When you look at me
And when you lend me your hand
Don't expect me to understand
What you are
Going through
Never the one to keep it together
Always in search of forever
And forever's
Breakthrough
No longer can this house stand
So please do lend me your hand
So we can see what's unseen
Only to close our eyes today
And open them in a way
That you can't
Explain
Sometimes you have to listen close
For the one's who know
How to make it out
Alive
And free
And I quake
And shake
Like most do
Here
Love
And I tremble
And break
Like most do
Here
Love
And I quake
And shake
Like most do
Here
And I tremble
And break
Like most do
Here
Love
And I want to leave here
With nothing but you
But you are gone
And I want to leave here
With nothing but you
But you are gone
And I want to leave here
With nothing but you
But you are gone
And I want to leave here
With nothing but you
But you are gone

Ah ah ah oh ah
Ah ah ah oh ah
Ah ah ah oh ah
Ah ah ah oh ah
Don't be afraid
Take my hand
Today
You'll understand
Don't be afraid
Take my hand
Today
You'll understand
Don't deviate
Just levitate
Don't deviate
Just levitate
Please do
Please do
Please do
Please do
Please do
Please
Please do

Reborn
03:08

The writings on the wall say it all
I've stood here waiting love for your call
As you draw near
Everything's clear
Though broken and torn
I'm once again
REBORN!
The calling in your sound has me now
I've lifted my heart strings for your vow
As you draw near
Everything's clear
Though broken and torn
I'm once again
REBORN!
These eyes, now open, are of no surprise
These lips, now shout out, without compromise
This heart, now beats, before all who live or die
And this soul, tormented, will find, a reason why
As you draw near
Everything's clear
Though broken and torn
I'm once again
REBORN!

Midnight

Walked into the distance
Where I found resistance
Of a state of mind
Where I did find
That you had it all together
Even before time began
Your promises of forever
Then I ran
(Midnight) You opened my eyes
(Midnight) You suffered through cries
Come spirit move, invade this place
Come spirit release your grace
Lock step and get over
Where you stand I'm under
The impression we are fine
At this moment and time
(Midnight) You opened my eyes
(Midnight) You suffered through cries
Come spirit move, invade this place
Come spirit release your grace
Have your way, take today
Lead the way, Oh! Lovely

Plans

A Line has been drawn in the sand
(in the sand)
Our lives have been changed take a stand
(take a stand)
Love be my sight
Love be my sweet design
Be a refuge
That I can run to
These plans could be
Collectively
The Change in me
I know I need
Words have been exchanged without thought (without thought)
You have come around where we fought
(where we fought)
Love be my sight
Love be my sweet design
Be a refuge
That I can run to
These plans could be
Collectively
The Change in me
I know I need
Love have your way

Winter Glow

Your the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life
If there is such a thing
Her presence was unforgettable
Working in her favor
That night
Her eyes were as black as gold
The only thing I needed to...
Needed to know
She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life
If there is such a thing
Stuck in a sweet surrender
She was all I could remember
That night
Partaking in a moment
I never wanted to leave
That night
She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life
If there is such a thing
And of all of the stars that scream out tonight
They scream meaningless aggression
Meaningless
Yeah the stars that come out tonight
Scream meaningless discretion
Meaningless aggression
Meaningless
Yeah time is such a joke
Played to destroy
Every moment
We embrace
The greatest moment
You'd ever have
Your the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
If you've ever heard of such a thing
Your the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
If you've ever heard of such a thing
Ooh Ooh
Winter glow oh don't you go
Winter glow oh don't you go
Winter glow oh don't you go
Winter glow no don't you go

Lanterns
04:48

These days become weeks, weeks become months, months, years,
And there are only so many in a lifetime by dearest dear so listen closely
Closed eyes, tell a story, more enduring, then the loudest voice, in this place
Yet you seek much further with the fullness of love and grace
And the seasons change,
and the seasons change
But you, hold on to, what you, can't undue,
My Love
Whole lives are at the threshold of your strength, your might
Now the ambient chorus rains down in this brilliant, yet proper fight
And the seasons change,
and the seasons change
But you, hold on to, what you, can't undue,
My Love
Victory beyond what you see,
becomes the symphony
To your calling heart,
From your calling heart
But you, hold on to, what you, can't undue,
My Love
(ooh) yet you already know how this will all end

Before
04:16

Lost the words in the deep
Sitting here in my throne
The water from the creek
Dried up with the stone
I never gave in
Your mascara bleeds
For a chance to sin
And you breathe slowly
Hoping for something more
You'll have to forgive me
I've never done this before
You tell me
You're hurting
I tell you
I don't care
So we go down those stairs
Where we begin searching
Free you of this lace
Let me share with you
The meaning of grace
And you breathe slowly
Hoping for something more
You'll have to forgive me
I've never done this before
Fingers where you want them
Hands untied now
This tongue will tell you lies
You've never heard before
Something about this taste
Your breath won't go to waste
Then you whisper in my ear
Something I've longed to hear
Something I've longed to hear
Really means nothing at all
You can lie on the side of the tracks
Dieing
The 309 will pass you by
Free you of this lace
Let me share with you
The meaning of grace
And you breathe slowly
Hoping for something more
You'll have to forgive me
I've never done this before

Endure

You smile again
Original sin
Tell me your name
Show me your shame
Hold this to your heart
Told you
We'd fall apart
Holding your hand
Hoping to land
With
Both arms wrapped around
You
As we learn how to fall down
Share your fondest dreams
Dare me to be
With you
Turning your eyes
Into the skies
Planet moon stars
Churches homes bars
Allow for the pain
Sanity insain
What was your call
Where did you crawl
Both arms wrapped around
You
As we learn how to fall down
Share your fondest dream
Dare me
let me be....
