Puzzles and Mysteries
03:43
|
|||
Every puzzle we solve uncovers a mystery.
No stone left unturned all throughout history.
Satellites and spaceships floating through the outer space.
We're no closer now to winning in the human race.
How can we know? How can we go on living like this?
In the sunlight and the shadows.
What's the meaning of all of this?
Fast and slow. Ebb and flow.
Time rolls on like a river.
Without truth, without You.
All we have are puzzles and mysteries.
(All this) This time goes by.
These years they fly.
We're chasing lies.
In search of right.

Wake Up Call
04:20
|
|||
Hey now this is our wake up call.
Asleep, thought we were standing tall.
Life is an illusion when you live it for yourself.
Love is the conclusion when you live for someone else.
When my heart stops beating all I want to hear You say is well done.
Hey now this is your wake up call.
Afraid? That you could lose it all?
Wake up and let us hear your song.
Don't wait until your dream is gone.
I don't want to spend my life asleep on the inside.
Dead on the inside.
Dead on the inside.

Haunting Me
03:22
|
|||
Haunting me
Always at the edge of what I see
In the whispers in-between our words
Just beneath the surface
Haunting me
In the wind that blows the trees
Oh You bring me to my knees
So sweet is Your love
Haunting me
In the silence there's a symphony
All creation sings in harmony
To the rhythm of the rain
Oh You bring me to, oh You bring me to, oh You bring me to my knees
Haunting me
In this world You are my everything
Although you remain unseen
I know You're there

The Inside Out
04:01

The Inside Out
You desire truth inside inside
Even when I said I did I lied
I tried to wake up something that had died inside
I'm sorry for the times I've let You down
Even in the silence of my thoughts
I've sailed a sea of doubt a thousand times before
But I always come home
I always come home to You
I always come home to You
And You're always waiting
You're always waiting
Waiting for me
You want the inside
I want the inside out
Come make it cleaner
You want the inside out
You want the inside
I want the inside out
Come make it cleaner
Come make me new again
I'm sorry for the words I didn't say
The ones that never left my mouth or mind
The fire always burns the hand it flees
Even if it never burns the trees
Even when I'm clean my heart's a mess
Even when I can I don't confess
Find me on my knees and heal my soul again
You want the inside
I want the inside out
Come make it cleaner
You want the inside out
You want the inside
I want the inside out
Come make it cleaner
Come make me new again

Every Time
04:46
|
|||
I'd never met someone like you
All of this beauty, how could it be true?
I was lost...I'd be lost without you.
I watched the light dance in your eyes
I felt your smile light up my soul
And I'm lost...I'm lost without you
Every time you breath
Every time you speak
With every little touch
I love you more than life
Every thing you do
Every time you move
Makes me love you more
And want to be with you
Every time
If my heart's a battleground
You have won the war
Darling I am yours
And I'll always be
Every time

Blood Money
04:03
|
|||
I'm a revolutionary.
Not a love missionary.
I am not who you think I am.
Are we kings or are we servants?
Do you think that I deserve this?
You are not who I thought you were.
For this blood money
I'll turn you in
For this blood money
I'll give you up
They call me a traitor.
But I never hated you.
You just let me down.
I made you in my image .
But you didn't live up.
You are not enough for me.
For this blood money
I'll turn you in
For this blood money
I'll give you up
We're all the same
With a kiss we'd betray
For we are the broken souls

When We Were Kids
04:16
|
|||
Do you remember when we were kids?
With our dreams at our fingertips
The stars they shone for us
The summer sky was alive for us
We wondered would life begin
Our hopes on the autumn winds
In the spring we said goodbye to life alone for good
With the sunlight streaming in
I love you more now then I did then
Do you remember when we were kids?
We dreamed of love like this
Taking life in our finger tips
And holding on tight
I'll never take this
I'll never take it
I'll never take you for granted
I'll love you till the day that I die like I said I would
I'll never take this
I'll never take this
I'll never take you for granted
I'll always love you till the day that I die like I said I would
With the evening drawing in
I love you more now then I did then
Do you remember when we were kids?
We dreamed of love like this
Taking life in our finger tips
And holding on tight

Prodigal
05:04
|
|||
I lost my faith and let my feelings fly
Never to return again
I left with purpose and my pockets full
I felt the thrill of it
In your eyes I see the pain I've caused
But I won't stop myself
I need to breathe outside these ancient walls
And feel my heart again
Don't go my child
Don't go my son
I left the fields to walk the city streets
I was on top of the world
Spent all my days in search of brilliant nights
Always chasing the daylight
I had no faith but I had no fear
My future seemed so clear
My friends around me like a fortress strong
How quickly it disappeared
I can't go on. I can't go back
I'll take what I can. And have what I take.
Oh my eyes cry
Prayers set my lungs on fire
You bleed my heart dry every day you're gone child
I'm coming to my senses.
Breathe in, out. Take one step.
I'll wrap my arms around you. 3x
Because you're home.

Thoughts of Echos
03:23
|
|||
Thoughts of echoes
Are running through my brain
The clock at zero
And time comes crashing in
But I, don't want to see this anymore
And I, don't want to hear this anymore
We're ones and zeroes
We're locked in this machine
We peer through windows
But none are open doors
And I don't want to live here anymore
Oh, I don't want to feel this anymore
Every moment is our currency
Nothing is cheap and nothing's free
I'm a man I am not a machine
You take my time you take the life of me
Did I live for what I would die for?
Or did I die from what I lived for?
Did I die before my time?
Did I die inside my mind?
In our bodies we are biding
There our spirits we are hiding
We're becoming who we are forever

Deep as the Sea
04:50
|
|||
Your wound is as deep the sea
Why won't you come home return to me?
I will take you hold you close
How I've longed to comfort you
Oh My love is all you need
Higher than mountains
As deep as the sea
Oh My love return to me
My love is an ocean
As deep as the sea
