1. DEAR X, YOU DON'T OWN ME

Dear pain, oh, it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night

Dear shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies

I let you go but you're still chasing

Go ahead, you're never going to take me
You can bend, but you're never going to break me
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me

Dear hate, I know you're not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries

Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes

I let you go, but you're still chasing

Go ahead, you're never going to take me
You can bend, but you're never going to break me
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me

Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you've got no bullet
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me

You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie

Go ahead, you're never going to take me
You can bend, but you're never going to break me
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me

Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you've got no bullet
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me

Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you've got no bullet
I was yours, I'm not yours anymore
You don't own me


2. WATCH IT BURN

Infiltrated crawling on the inside [Matthew 15:19]
Crooked hands put us all in their chains [John 8:34]
Wrapping nooses all around the halos [Romans 14:16]
Another chemical making my blood insane [Jeremiah 30:13]

We're so sick of feeling helpless [Psalm 22:11]
We've been running this wheel to death [Matthew 11:28-29]
We're not a mark upon your checklist [Matthew 23:15]
You're gonna feel it kicking in your chest

We've waited far too long
Incinerate this

To all the anarchy inside we can't escape
Set it off let it all burn down
To all the hell inside that's been controlling me
Set it off, set it off, watch it all burn down [Matthew 18:8-9 / Romans 12:1-2]

Intoxicated drinking all your poison [Isaiah 5:22 / James 3:8]
Your flattery's got us eating crumbs off your hands [Psalm 55:21 / Daniel 11:32]
It's gotten far beyond reckless
You're gonna see it going up in flames [Matthew 18:8-9]


3. INVISIBLE

You've got my attention
There's no need to hurt your self this way
You think no one will notice you're feeling
When you cry yourself to sleep

You feel stuck on the outside looking inside
Wishing this life wasn't your life
And you think you're damaged way beyond repair
Well you're not so far that I can't get to where you are

You wish you were someone else
Every night you fall to pieces
Knowing you can't save yourself
I can see you, I can hear you
There's a place where the broken go
There's a room full of second chances
You're not stranded on your own
You're not invisible

I'm ready to listen
There's no need to hold it all inside
The smallest whisper
I hear it when your strength has all but died

I need you to believe me, can you trust me
That what you see, is not what I see
The reflection in the mirror's telling lies
Cause nothing you have done could change how much I love you

You're not invisible
I can see you as you're falling on your knees
You're not invisible to Me


4. THE BALLAD OF ST. AUGUSTINE

The air is leaving here
It's getting hard to breathe, I'm choking [Matthew 13:22]

The fracture was innocent
A miniature compromise that exploded [James 1:15]

Inside my atmosphere
And now the paradigm is shifting [John 8:34]

A good man was living here
Virtuous evidence has all but disappeared [James 2:10]

Right was wrong when wrong went right [Romans 1:22; Romans 7:15]
I'm fading
Black has turned to gray inside [Revelation 3:16]
And I know that I need saving, can You save me? [Psalm 130:1-8]
Take me away to where You are [John 14:3]
Cause I won't leave without it [Genesis 32:26]

Involuntary fast
The bread that never lasts, I'm starving [Matthew 4:4]

Sanity shackled here
The key is in my hand, but I'm frozen [Isaiah 52:2]

Revelation sings
Justice delivery is blinding [Proverbs 1:2-3]

My death is imminent
I'd rather die with You than utterly alone [2 Samuel 24:14]

Welcome back my innocence [Psalm 32:1-2]
How I have so longed to see your face again [Psalm 51:11-12]
Overwhelmed I say goodbye
As the pages turn I say goodbye
Passing by the end of my life [2 Corinthians 5:17]

Pages turn, memories burning away
Ashes celebrate [Hebrews 12:29]
You're washing me, consuming me [Revelation 1:5]
As I'm falling on Your sword [Ephesians 6:17]
You're washing me, branding me with grace [Galatians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 12:9]
Innocence reborn [John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23]


5. SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD

With my bloody fists raised to the sky

I've swallowed all your lies
That the time of my expiration's drawing nigh
Breaking ties tonight
You can see it in these eyes
I will not let you dictate how I live and how I die
The more things you sow the more things I burn

Never will you see me fall to you
I'm rising with my bloody fists raised to sky [Revelation 12:11]

You can't stop this fire now
You can't blow it out
Everything will change
Here comes the shot heard round the world
You can't slow this fire down
You can't take it out
Everything will change
Here comes the shot,
This is the shot heard round the world [Psalm 35:1 / Colossians 2:14-15]

I embrace the sight of pain
These medicines are just poisons by another name
And if it's time to play the game
Then let's border on insane
As I recklessly abandon all attachments to me
I touch the sun while you touch the rain

Where is the sting?
Where are the fangs that haunted me?
Where is the sting? [1 Corinthians 15:55]


6. COLLISION

The calm that comes before this rage
Love that conquers all this hate
The sweating hands that hold on tight
Far too late to stop this slide

Strip this away if it's what it takes
I'm ready to break

Lean forward
I'm bracing for collision
Run faster
I'm chasing Your collision

Shattered pieces in my eyes
Sweet comfort has passed me by
Wings no longer spread in flight
Far too late to stop this dive

I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm chasing, I'm chasing You


7. BATTLE LINES

Just a taste and your eyes will be opened
Gonna see everything like a God tonight [Genesis 3:5]
You keep saying this over and over
We're no longer slaves that you victimize [John 8:34-36]

We came here to fight [1 Timothy 6:12]

We won't just lay our weapons down [Ephesians 6:17]
To your demands
We won't be swayed so easily
Thrown by your wind [James 1:6]
These battle lines were drawn since the beginning [Genesis 3:15 / Revelation 12:9]
Nothing left to decide
There's nothing left to decide [Deuteronomy 30:19-20 / Joshua 24:15]

Even if His hand doesn't save us
We will never bow our face tonight [Daniel 3:17-18]
Since the second Adam has rescued
We'll be looking to raise up when we die [1 Corinthians 15:42-52]


8. REMEMDY

I see the world in black and gray
Broken dreams of a runaway
Escape the world to medicate
Symptoms gone but disease remains

If the vision dies will it ever breathe again

Oh, I've got to let go of the illusion
This is the end of me, You are my remedy
Oh, it's taking its toll - this pollution
This is the end of me, You are my remedy
Where you stop is where you'll start again

I hold the weight of sorrow deep
Wide awake but my mind's asleep
Familiar needle scratches on my skin
Like a record warped with ill content

I've got to let go of all of this
It's the end of me, my remedy


9. ETERNITY

All that is behind me, this mess of life
Where out of nothing came a beautiful design [1 Corinthians 1:26-28]
Know that I've had but a taste of a deathless wine [Matthew 26:27-28]
So I give up the flame to the hands beside
And I'll be waiting

Where the desert is covered in roses [Isaiah 35:1]
Where I can outshine the stars in a single day [1 John 2:25]
The face of God isn't hidden [Revelation 22:4]
When I wake into eternity [1 Corinthians 15:51-53]

Where the shadows are never discovered [Revelation 22:5]
Tears are nothing more than a memory [Revelation 21:4]
Death isn't alive any longer [Revelation 20:14]
When I wake into eternity

Now I know I see it in your eyes
You knew at some point that we'd have to say goodbye [Hebrews 9:27]
I looked for this moment for all my life
To be caught away in the arms of God [Philippians 1:23]
And I'll be waiting

When I awake I'll see Your face
When I awake I'll see Your face [Revelation 22:4]


10. REVOLUTION: NOW

Can you feel it?
Our anthem is rising [Revelation 15:3-4]
The voices are screaming
The minds are awakening [2 Corinthians 3:14-16]

And our march is shaking the ground
And now we're running to tear these idols down [Isaiah 2:8-18]
Send the flares, revolution's coming now [Revelation 19:11-16]

The tide has broken out
Flooding till they all fall down [1 Corinthians 15:25]
Revolution's coming now
The blood spilled on the ground
Will cry until they all fall down [Genesis 4:10]
Revolution's coming now

And now the children take up their arms
And lead us in the charge of enlightenment [Mark 10:15]
A mass exodus of fear leaving hearts [1 John 4:18]
To the place where we will tear these idols down
Send the flares, revolution's coming now


11. DEAFENING

On a road to nowhere
Tried to find myself there
I went as far as I could go
From everything I know

Now I'm emptied up and used
Broken and abused
But I still hear You

Every time I run away
I hear Your voice inside of me
It's deafening
Can't fight it, can't fight it

Calling me to come back home
To the only place where I belong
It's deafening
Can't fight it, can't fight it

I can still hear you say
You will never escape
How far my love can reach
And I need you to believe

Now there's nothing left to lose
And hope is breaking through
And I still hear You

You're never too far away
And it's never too late


12. WORTH THE PAIN

The light at the end has faded away
One terror after another
Somewhere in the fire
The embers of faith
Will burn through tomorrow
You're breathing

It's worth the pain
God's in the rain
It's not too late to start again
It's worth the pain
So hold on tonight

Your passionate eyes try to explain
All the blindness you're feeling
The six feet of lies exposed in His fire
Resurrecting your sunrise
You're breathing

There's grace
When you're at your wit's end
Begging for it
He'll take you by the hand
There's grace
