1.
broken
What more can we do to
heap these coals on our head
How can we justify lives lost with the dead
Lift up your eyes oh wise to the weak, my soul to keep
Your arms your hands would melt to wash these feet
Cry for the tears of the nations
Cry for the fears of those lost
Thrown in the dirt of our frustrations
Crawl through the ash of our insanities
Lift your head but through these burning eyes you can't
see
Cry out with dust filled lungs for love's sweet hand
But you left your bleeding heart to rest in the sand
2. complacency
My sins they grasp me and pull me down
In spite of your grace I struggle and drown
Something tells me that you can pull me through
Instead I deny that you know the truth
By myself all alone
I can't do anything on my own
Please send a savior
My sins atoned
Separation is taking time to heal
Still holding on to what I use to feel
Countless are the days when my tears ran dry
Paper filled with empty lines, words unsaid still
unread
3. true peace
I run and hide, open-eyed
My lifeless pride, now subsides
Unaware of where I'm headed
The road ahead is greatly dreaded
Words I wish, were still unsaid
Decisions I would've chose instead
When will there occur a spark
When will light awaken dark
How can I leave it all behind
Will I ever change my set mind
My eyes, they remain blind
To this hopelessness I manage to find
On whom now do I lean
Who will take someone so unclean
I long to give this life I live
What's the next road that I take
I couldn't save me for my own sake
Will it be the end for me
How I long to be free
How can I be sure I'll be relieved
From this life I'll leave
It could never be undone
Never re-begun
I need to stop thinking like this
Take this dying heart and make it his
For that is the only way I'll be released
The only way I'll have true peace
4. empty
Interest me with your words of knowledge
Weave a tail with your lying tongue
Deceive my thoughts
My heart will hang, will hang on your every word
And in my mind these shallow thoughts
Embrace your comfort here
Empty words
Empty lies
The truth it hides behind
Empty thoughts
Empty lives
Search these eyes for Love
Revealed to me complacency on my account
I'm blind to see my weighted wings hold me down
Each day I wake to face my fate the masses crowd
But through these sorrowed eyes
Father you're not proud
We're still stuck on absolutes
It's a critical point of view
But to look into their eyes
And feel the emptiness deep inside
5. hallow eyes
Through hallow eyes you
build your disguise
Can't see through the haze of lies
All these years you've wasted hitchhiking on the road
of life
It's dusty and dry
too busy walking while you could fly
Can you touch what you can't see
Can you feel though it isn't real
Delusions come so easily out of these dreams
Where do you place your trust
Too confused between love and lust
Acceptance comes easily in this world of lies
But your hearts too numb to hear your souls cries
Fill it till overflowing but watch it till it dries
Love's the only hand that can dry the tears you've
cried
Tell me is this your home
Cause it's the place you thought of last
Life's not yours to own
So free your heart erase the past
