We're casting light through such thin shades, and I am tired
My legs fail, I can't move another inch without you
These are the things that will tell you if you are alive:
I always hear my heart is in my wrist, but mine is in my chest
So love, we're almost home
Open up these walls and let each other in. we will live again
I require your grace to see what's inside. Trust your eyes and find your faith again
Burning heart to lift you off the ground, and let this life begin
And i'll break these walls to get to you. I will never leave you
Stand up and reach out, your faith has made you well!
The vultures have gathered, but there is time enough to tell
If the road makes us weary, we'll lift you if you fall
But is there time enough to tell?
Don't lose hope, your wrists are scarred, but hold out strong. My son, you'll change the world!
Find your way back home, from birth he has made mention of your name
For I swear to you, your heart is in your chest!
Why can't we say, "Your love means everything to me"?
"Your eyes have opened wide!
These shades cannot hold back this light!
Your voice can reach the multitudes!" - so take these words to heart, and reach out for your life. We have so far to go

We were searching for a way out, we took things too far, too far for far too long
And still after our wounds heal, we're still haunted, haunted by these things. Will our defenses hold and keep us safe through the night?
What remains of what's been said could never fill the void inside your head (run away from deadly words!) and I swear, your prayers will all be heard! Just lift your head and close your eyes
We're running with rusty gears, we're breaking down
Please, don't let this die
We only have so long in this life
So find your heart and hope for better days
Because only words can bring us down. We're only asking for tonight!
Let's leave this place behind, before it's too late to decide! Though some will say they find it better, the road we're on is winding down. And it will tear it down to the marrow, I feel it welling up inside. So please, don't let this die!
Lift your head. Savor this moment. Savor tonight

Tonight is winding down. You're holding on for one last breath as this vicious circle pulls you down
You're holding close to what you see tonight
Another darkened sky, another wasted night
And it won't be too long until you find out why
Your heart still feels empty after nights of lies
And I have learned to stop running in circles and walk this world with the gift of knowing that we were made for something more!
Don't say a word, if we deceive ourselves
We might even believe that what we do is well
And do you know just what you're searching for?
Or can you fill this hole with hate until you hope no more?
And I have learned to stop running in circles and walk this world with the gift of knowing that we were made for something more!
Every time that i fall there have been hands to lift me up. They lift me still
Though this vicious cycle can bring you down, but stand your ground, down give up
And we will stand apart in the end

Every moment runs by, and every day goes by faster
And I walk this path all alone
You find a way into my heart
And I'm ascending now
Into your arms

On the day you left, I packed my bags and went home
Because fear has no place here. So I'll follow your lead and live my life like you
Always pushing forward with the weight of the world holding me back
It's time to stand up and walk!
The higher I climb, the air gets so thin, so thin!
But your love is my lungs, and I am breathing, breathing!
And though our bodies will come to pass, we will live on in hearts and minds. We will not die even when we cease to breathe. But in life, it is so hard
The very air I breathe seems to suffocate me! It's a constant battle, still I stand up and walk! For the higher I climb the air gets so thin, but your love is my lungs and I am breathing!
I climb this mountain, the path I walk is plagued with doubt, but I will not fail! I will not fall down! And I'll carry on until I hear you call me home. I will ascend! On shaking legs with heavy steps, I'll bear this cup that weighs me down, but I won't fall. Oh God, don't let me fall! "I try to hold myself up but I can't go on unless you are here with me!"

There is blood on my hands, but there is a reason for what we've done
Don't look back on all the problems it's caused, the problems that we've solved
Will justify, so turn a blind eye
Oh God, why have you forsaken us? These illusions make for such great escapes!
Though every synapse leads to something great
We fear the means which hope does not stray
Away from my body. Take me away from this place, and I'll follow you to the end!
And we're here pounding on these walls but no one hears your cries
Lord, we wait for your return!
We've lost our way! We dig our own graves!
This is a place of broken hearts and broken dreams and it's killing me to watch it bleed
Still pounding on these walls, and there is nothing new. Have we bled ourselves dry?
Our own tongues deceive us! We dig our own graves!
And it won't be long, it won't be long. We wait for your return
Our tongues are tied, we are deceived!
We are deceived by the grace of man
And can we be redeemed?
Our hearts grow cold
But our salvation lies just past the water's edge!
Can these soiled hands hold me up in time for you to return?
O how thou art destroyed, o city renown!

I heard the sound of ten thousand voices calling out
And as waves crash down, their bodies pulled from the ground
But I saw you there, with your feet firmly planted down. Could this be the end?
I feel a cold embrace as I'm washed away
As fear grips my heart, it swallows me
Could this be your grace?
What a pitiful life i lead! I've grown too weak and land is out of reach, but upon the sea, your figure calls to me! And I can't breathe until you free me. Can this life we lead mean anything at all? As the waves pull me down, can all these days mean anything at all?
I have now come to accept my fate, for I was not made to tread forever!
Crash down and break my bones! Lay me to rest in the depths of the sea, Leave me to mend in the waves of your sea
Crash down, break me, make me into what you want me to be!
