Crushed Perfectly
04:24

The end was inevitable, but I held on til' my fingers were severed
That lie I still sing was ignorant truth back then
Thought I'd forgiven though obviously not, but I choose to now, still
I trust God and not a thing on earth, cuz it all falls through
As I lost what never was mine but in my mind
Tore my heart, it got caught on where I wanted to be
But right now it hurts to be blessed as You sanctify
You crush us so perfectly
So You can convert our loss into life
Now I am blessed to be bleeding, but hate all these feelings
Parallels are found, I learn how You feel and how to feel You
You crushed Him perfectly too, cursed to save this world
Sweating blood from the stress, didn't deserve the torture in store
Despite the excruciating wounds, suffocation slowly ended Him
Jesus endured far more than us, His pain was worth it, ours will be too!

Buzz Off

I open my eyes in the morning, see the light coming in the room
I roll to my side and see, you’re standing there
Then the alarm starts blaring so I
Shut it up and you say it’s time to get going
But I don’t feel motivation
I - don’t want to get up, but you’re draggin’ me out!
Don’t - rip the blankets off, it’s cold out there!
“Buzz off” I shout, but you don’t
So I attempt to give you, a good ol’ concussion with my pillow
You get up to your feet and try to pull me out of bed
But I cling to the bedpost, and fight for my life
I say “Buzz off”
you say “Get up”
“buzz off”
“get up”

Until All Hope Has Died
06:20
|

Tell me did you ever have a dream, you tried so hard to make a change
But nothing you did could make it real?
Disappointment adding up, cutting me down to nothing
Why should I move, what’s the point?
Waiting for that day, if it never comes do I really care?
You felt, what I feel, when You lived here in this world
If all has failed, or if it works out
You’re still here with me either way
Saying it could be worse, doesn’t make anything better
It doesn’t change that it hurts
If we don’t have pain, if we don’t wait,
We’ll never fully understand joy
It will be worth it, please wait with me
The wait persists and fakes an end, I fear the end won’t come
but I’ll wait for this and nothing else, till all trace of hope has died,
Don’t die
I’ll keep opening doors until the day one leads somewhere
Opening doors because I still care
It won’t die, it won't die yeaeaeah!

Distracted By A Pencil
02:44
|
|||
|
14 minutes staring down the page
Can’t get a thing written down even though I should
It’s hard to write down words for a think that hasn’t been thought
Distracted by a pencil, can’t focus on the topic
Forget another masterpiece
Drumming on the table, overthinking simple things
I’ll shove it off another day
I forgot the words I didn’t write, I forgot the tune of the song
I’m getting stuck writing about writers block
And this is just our first song!
I’m grasping for thoughts, trying to subdue them into staying in a song
As soon as the words are born, they try to get out of my mind
They’re getting away yeah!

Stick With You
04:00
|
|||
|
Just like always, I was ecstatic to see you
But this time I knew something was pretty wrong
Where did that smile go? I long to help, I hurt for you
When I’ve been down you’ve been my up
I wanna be the same right back
I’m here for you as you’ve been there for me
We hold each other up, yeah I know
I won’t fall that far if you’re with me
I’ll stick with you so that don’t never change
Stick with me too
You know I really try, but still can’t always be there
Know that I’m praying for you if only I could in person
God’s with you when I can’t be
He never leaves us, we can sing to Him
I’ve failed and I hope that you will, be patient with me
I’m trying for better but until I get there, still love me
I’ll stick with you no that won’t never change

Ain't Gonna Fly
03:23
|

|
Disappointment and frustration, I missed Your directions again,
Those months are gone in the trash, but I learned what I needed
You have a plan for me, just need to know what it is
How long did it take me to figure that out?
My cloudy plan, was the wrong way all along, all along
I’ll heed to You, or it ain’t gonna fly, no it ain’t, ain’t gonna fly (no)
Pushing past all the confusion, but still remains the question
What if my goals aren’t Yours? That thought cripples my mind
You could have made this clear, instead I wait
I’ll find my motives, and if I care, if You should say I’m wrong
Oh, You’ve done far too much, I can’t flake out
But I don’t got a clue what I’ve got to do
You’ve done way too much I won’t flake out
I'm giving back what I can cuz I’m thankful

Reunification
04:09
|

|
He has addicted parents, dependent upon meth
Mother stabbed her girl, baby brother traumatized
No kid deserves this
Dwelling in a car; sister in the ER
Horrific start of life, his home hopeless
No kid deserves this, kids do not deserve this
They don’t have to be what their parents are
But they probably will, if that’s all they know
All they know is not what to do, need someone new to look up to
A better family who loves them
Parents get cuffed, take baby to a real home
Gets all he needs, love he deserves
But it never lasts
REUNIFICATION!!
Faked the failed system, but parents haven’t changed, no
He’s ripped away from love, doomed to join worthless
You watched with both eyes blind, as you destroyed their lives
You do all the time, it’s just a job to you
They’ve lived in my house, I’ve seen this every time
DFS don’t care or they’d fight for them
Drugee loving system fatally slanted towards
Reunification

Missed In Action
04:11
|

|
The military brought you here, and we never believed that you’d leave
A few years was all we got, but we’re honored to know you
As much as we love you here, you’ll be loved anywhere
You’re always welcome friends, and I don’t ever want to say goodbye
As you left me
You left a hole in my heart that I won’t fill
Cuz I’m leaving room for you
Come back to me
Missed in action you can’t stay gone
You are loved and will always be
He kissed his wife for the last time, before deploying
She’s worried and alone, and he’s terrified but brave
Backed into a corner together, bullets tear apart his friend’s body
Face of blood and tears, as vengeance roars from his gun
But he couldn’t take them all, they took him as a prisoner of war
Sits in his cell alone, and thinks of his lost friend and wife
As I miss you
There’s a hole in my heart that I won’t fill
Cuz I’m leaving room for you
Come back to me
Missed in action you can’t stay gone
You are loved and will always be
For all our friends that moved away
Every soldier overseas
The missing in action and prisoners of war
And every one that gave their lives
As you left us
You left a hole in our hearts that we won’t fill
Cuz we’re leaving room for you
Come back to us
Missed in action you can’t stay gone
You are loved and will always be

Inside The Void
04:45
|
|||
|
All I’ve had is left behind, approach the portal, enter the void
Question the limit of nothingness, feel for the exit, this path is destroyed
My brain obsessing without point, it gonna change, same for this world
Control nothin’, except myself so I’ll just trust, I’m still lost
The past has passed by, I think it’s time things start to change
I need to move on, but don’t wanna lose just everything
Looking around I recognize
That what makes sense here is nothing, including me
Readin’ the words but miss what they mean
My eyes aren’t focused on what’s seen
Can’t stay still, nothin’ of worth here
But if I leave, I get locked out
The void is safe but restrains my life, there’s no more point
I’m gone, lock me out!
Look I'm gone!
