WEIGHT
You cut me straight to the bone.
Why can't you leave this alone?
I've kept it all inside, building up, 'bout to explode.
This feeling burns deep inside, it's getting harder to hide.
And now it's building up, burning up.
I don't want to tear your heart out,
and be the one who breaks you into pieces,
who makes you hard and cold.
'Bout to lose control so please don't let me go,
I'm barely holding on so, please don't push me over.
Overwhelmed and tired, worn thin with no desire.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this on my own.
Well I've been thinking about, the things that I should have done.
I've never given up, won't stay down.
I've given all I have inside me,
Now I am tired and broken through and through
Been crushed my will is gone.
'Bout to lose control so please don't let me go,
I'm barely holding on so, please don't push me over.
Overwhelmed and tired, worn thin with no desire.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this on my own.
I've never given up, but I have let you down.
I'm down so low right now.
My teeth get kicked in and I get knocked to the ground.
Pick myself up again.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this.
Yes, I've lost it, I'm out of control.
Please help me out of here.
Well I'm bending and breaking and losing it all.
Please help me find a way, no longer doing this on my own.
BLINK
I walk these worn out dreams alone.
I look around and wonder, "Where have they all gone?"
The days were here, I blinked and they all disappeared.
I stumble on regret and fall into the fear that I...
I have been away too long and I cannot go back now.
Somehow I, I've blown through all my better days,
I can never get them back again.
The person in that photograph...
Can't find the time it holds, it's fading way too fast.
I blink again another twenty years gone by.
I rushed right through them all, I never realized.
I have been away too long and I cannot go back now.
Somehow I, I've blown through all my better days,
I can never get them back again.
Maybe I should take a moment.
Maybe I should take my time.
Lived my whole life in the future, pushing on to make this real.
And I sped on and on and on and on, just to get to here.
With way too many days behind me, I'm afraid to fail again.
And I, I can't afford to blink once more,
And I cannot turn back now 'cause they've gone,
And there's no returning now, have to make it up somewhow.
I have been away too long and I could never go back now.
Somehow I, I could never go back now,
Blew through all my better days, I could never get them back again.
the long walk
I'm going to lay this down and go take the long walk.
I'm going to leave it here and go have the hard talk.
Walkin' around in a dead man's clothes, there's a fine line.
Time to shed these worn out rags, leave them all behind.
I'm not sure where we are going but,
I will be first in line to tell you what I've left behind.
You know that I can't erase what's wrong.
And I can't carry it inside so I kill it, break it, the pain is gone.
There was this fire deep inside and it burned hot.
I tried to keep it down, I failed and I could not.
Losing all that I am not is the hard part.
Coming to the end of me, that's where I start.
I'm not sure where we are going but,
I will be first in line to tell you what I've left behind.
You know that I can't erase what's wrong.
And I can't carry it inside so I kill it, break it, the rage is gone.
I can't carry it inside so I kill it, break it, the hate is gone.
I can't carry it inside so I kill it, break it, I'm left with you.
BLINDFOLD
The beginning of never, the truth cannot breathe
From the mountains of nevermore, from sea to forgotten sea
Deny, misdirect, the truth is not seen
Turn off the noise so you can be free
The world wears a blindfold now but we think we can see
The world wears a blindfold and it’s made for you and me
A big movie picture with nothing to see
Just feeding the narrative where deafness is king
We watch and know nothing and think we are free
Our eyes are wide open but we’ll never see
It’s time to take their power away
Don’t let them write our history
With their version of “the truth” they will divide and rule us all
Enslaved we blindly live their lie, wake up now, just turn it off!
The world wears a blindfold child but we think we can see
Let’s take off our blindfold now, so we can be free
And open up our eyes child, to finally see
The world wears a blindfold now
And you’d best believe, that ignorance is king and it’s killing liberty
Until Now
Gonna tear this apart now. Trying not to fight.
'Cause it's out with the old and you won't recognize.
Watch it come apart now, yeah I know it's right.
And it's making this thing better without you.
I want to keep you close, so hard to let you go.
'Cause I have been holding onto all the things I didn't even know I had 'til now.
Turn this upside down now. Staying up all night.
Let's pick up the pieces, make it all alright.
No this won't come easy, just want to hold you tight.
Get out of my head, you're driving me crazy.
I want to keep you close, so hard to let you go.
'Cause I have been holding onto all the things I didn't even know I had 'til now.
I must take my bow, and find the strength somehow.
Nothing comes from holding onto all these suns gone down.
Find A Trace
Stay with me is all He said. Abide awhile and be my friend.
Not today there is no time, I turn aside and never find my way.
I think I'm better on my own. I'm not afraid to be alone.
The cold and darkness are my home, my soul is gone, I've cast it into the fire.
I'll walk away, no I'll never stay and I will never find my place.
Just cut out the pain and throw it away, or I will never find a trace.
Stay with me is all I ask. Abide awhile, lay down your mask.
And when you've grown into the vine, I know you'll bare a sweeter wine.
I want you right by my side. Don't turn away to never find.
I know you think you're own your own, you're not alone, you're not alone, no, no.
Tell me where to look, Tell me what I need.
Tell me why You want this, Tell me when to bleed.
I can't be the answer, all I have are lies.
I don't want to go on another day this way. I feel like I am so far away here and all the past came back and now I can't face You...
How? How could You know?
TREES
I can still hear her call me from that porch...
Always knew that someday, I'd carry her home...
I wonder, "can she hear me?" I wonder if she hears my voice.
I hear her calling in the wind. I want to run to her again.
The rain comes pouring down, those old familiar sounds
Whispers in the breeze.
And so you have found me where the trees touch Jesus feet.
I hear her calling in the wind. I want to run to her again.
I wish you knew all the things that these trees could tell.
Always in my head like an echo in the old well.
They come to life when I'm out on the front porch.
I keep them close, so very close to my heart.
I feel alive like a kid in a dirt pile.
See the smoke, feel the rain, hum a song that she sang.
Cold like a winter wind and warm like a wood stove.
I wish I would have stayed a few minutes more.
I hear her calling in the wind. I want to run to her again.
I want to play there again and hear her voice call in the wind.
Where the memories are sweet and the trees touch Jesus' feet.
Where the trees touch Jesus feet.
I can still hear her call me from that porch...
I Don't Know
I don't know just what you're thinking, I don't know just where you've been.
I don't know if this ship is sinking, I don't know just let me in.
Let me in, so I can find you. When will it end?
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know if we'll see tomorrow, I don't know where to begin.
See I don't know if your ship is sinking, I don't know, just let me in.
Let me in, so I can find you. When will it end?
I don't know, I don't know.
When this time is over, when this war is won.
We will be stronger, we will overcome.
I don't care if you're ship is sinking, open up and let me in...
Let me in, so I can find you. When will it end? I don't know.
Just let love in, and it will find you.
Let it in and you'll know, yeah you will know.
