Lyrics


1. MILLSTONE

Honestly, were you sleeping?
Reach out, touch me now
Where can I take my dirt filled head?
Where can I take my past where no one can see?
I'm at the foot of your cross but I'm a wreck.
Im stumbling, I cant see straight.

[Bridge:]
Will you still love me when, I am selfish and
I never seem to show you my face?

[Chorus:]
I need to ask,
what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed?
I'm holding on by my fingertips
I need to ask,
what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed?
I'm holding on, I'm holding on

I should know where to draw the line,
But sometimes I get dragged and I
Can't face the consequence.
I want to see the world through your eyes
I want to see how hurt you are
I want to take out my insides,
And burry the bad in the earth

Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else instead?
Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else instead?

[Bridge:]
Will you still love me when,
I am selfish and
I never seem to show you my face?

[Chorus:]
I need to ask,
what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed?
I'm holding on by my fingertips
I need to ask,
what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed?
I'm holding on, I'm holding on

I'll sit for hours until
I can't think anymore,
About the world we live in without love
But you're still here

Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else instead?
Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else instead?
Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else instead?
Is there a stone around my neck?
Am I somewhere else?


2. CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES

Spread out spread apart lets tell the world.
There's something burning through my skin.
I'm going to reach the ends of this ground.
Everybody needs to know we won't be silenced this time.
We're going to love like you've never seen, like you've never seen.

Dancer dancer keep your feet in time and inside the lines

Everybody is starting to wonder what I'm talking about.
How can I explain this? My God, explain yourself.

Time's running out and this feeling is getting way too old.
I can say i believed every word you said.
I always got what I wanted. It never hit so hard.
I've never been so unexpectant.
I couldn't stop this if I tried.

Dancer dancer keep your feet in time and inside the lines.

We're moving forward we're not looking back and we won't be stopped.


3. I AM SCARED OF ME

We need to break the mold
and hope there's something more to
This wretched place called home,
That we continue to drown in
We must be more than this
Something had to be said before we,
Followed the footsteps, of everyone else

[Chorus]
The world has eyes to see, between you and me
and how cruel we are

Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on
Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on

O God can you keep me grounded?
I don't wanna let it pull me under
O God keep me grounded,
I don't wanna let it pull me
under keep me grounded,
Don't let this pull me under
O God keep me grounded,
Don't let this pull me under

Why do we continue to,
Live day by day without you?
Are we too proud,
To ever move out from your comfort?
Now I could never live without
The strong beat that continues to
Get me through these days
That are getting colder in this dying land

[Chorus]
The world has eyes to see,
Between you and me
And how cruel we are

Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on
Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on

[Chant]
Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on
Tell me I am born,
Tell me I'm worth the ground you walked on

I'm not home, until I'm done in this place
I'm not home, until I'm done in this place
I'm not home

This is so clear to me
This is understanding


4. CITY TO CITY

When your money is no good, and your mouth is sealed shut
We're moving, We're moving ... Out
And how often did you say, you wanted things your way?
We're moving, We're moving ... Out

Is it too much to ask for?
Open your eyes and see
It's not too hard to believe, We're in Way Too Deep
Is it to much to ask for?
Open your eyes and see
It's not to hard to believe, We're in way too deep

I've been told it's not too long
I know it's not that easy
I've been holding on to this
Do you understand?

Stop and listen
Can you hear me now?
It isn't always the hard side you have to face
Unless you want to, we could be here for days

There's a light you think is hidden that
Will be shown if you ask
There's a light that can bring you surface
When you think its over

As fire glazes the city
Our eyes are forced shut, and our hands have never held so tight
Buildings fall
And punctured lungs fail to breathe beneath the rubble

We're as dead as
Our chests that pour evil


5. ZEAL

So lets piece things together from now on one by one
I'm hoping you know the way, because I'm so alone
Taking what you have for granted is a mistake you always made.
I'm hoping you know the way because I'm so alone

Just Know, I'm relieved, things are clear
my feet are where they should be.
Can you do this without me?

You're there everytime
You're there for everything

My God, I can see clearly why I'm calling you
I can see clearly why I need you


6. IF WE WERE A SINKING SHIP

The great wall that stands between the lost
and the seen and the lies we let sink in.

What is this? We've broken the trust of a fallen man.
So quick to pick you up but quicker to put you down.
No actions have been thought through by the both of us now.
Can we wait to see if they ever understand.

I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you're gone.
I am the thought behind your actions.
I'm on the end of your last breath.

I can be whoever you want me to. I can be...

I won't compromise this time.
You can't take what's mine.

Give in now, I can never forget the things you said.
I'll look to where I'm known the most for my escape.
They won't stop buying your smile they wont stop they wont stop.

I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you're gone.
I am the thought behind your actions.
I'm on the end of your last breath.

I can be whoever you want me to. I can be...

Your eyes can wait, what do they want to see?
If I walk away from everything would that be it?
You caught me living my life as someone else.
I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you're gone.
I am the thought behind your actions.
I'm on the end of your last breath.


7. 00:00

Be still now... you know you won't survive [x5]


8. HOLES

Oh, here it is again
Face to face with everything
That keeps bringing us down
So in me, and this place thats full of regret
You'll see that nothing is quite, perfect

Now, All eyes are focused on me
And everything I do is for only you
We didn't want it to be like this
We didn't want it to be like this

Oh believer, Theres things you've never seen
There's things you've never been told
Oh believer, Theres things you've never seen
There's things you've never been told

I pray to God,
That the devil never sees my sorry face [x3]
I pray to God

So be for your safety
In a time when you have nothing, and no self control
Now take the respect you won from your most, meaningful
It's all you have left to show

Now, All eyes are focused on me
And everything I do is for only you
We didn't want it to be like this
We didn't want it to be like this

Oh believer, Theres things you've never seen
There's thigns you've never been told
Oh believer, Theres things you've never seen
There's thigns you've never been told

I pray to God,
That the devil never sees my sorry face [x3]
I pray to God


9. VULTURES AMONG THE DEAD

You watched me fall
You never take your eyes off me
Who am I to ever leave your side when I am lead to believe
that temptations not a living disease.

And although, I'm like this at times,
you'll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight

You watched me fall
You never take your eyes off me
Who am I to ever leave your side when I am lead to believe
that temptations not a living disease.

Face it, face it, climb out of this hole you live in.
Face it, face it, escape from a world your leading.

And although, I'm like this at times,
you'll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight

This was it for a short time until eventually I could see
and when it's all over, Thank God for forgiveness.

There's a light
When your done tonight,
you've done alright,
you got what you wanted

Find yourself and never fall back.
You have your life on the line, it's all too much.

And although, I'm like this at times,
you'll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight.

When your done tonight,
you've done alright,
you got what you wanted

This was it for a short time until eventually I could see
and when it's all over, Thank God for forgiveness.


10. THE BIGGER PICTURE

Lately I've been feeling a light.
Alive at last
My eyes have been opened and I can see the path ahead.
Tear down the walls thats been made around you.
Escape to see.
Its what you've been waiting for.
I can see my world.
PULL YOURSELF UP.
I can see my world.
Pull yourself up.

Oh do you feel alive?
Can you feel the thirst?
Can you feel the light?
What a great move at last.

Do you feel the light?
Can you feel the thirst?
Can you feel the light?
What a great move at last.

This is Perfect
This is a Plan


11. IN REPLY

I was backed in a corner, and left myself no room at all
I left myself wide open to fear
And in the end, so vulnerable

You will take back every word you said
You will take back every word you said

[Chorus]
Show me how to pull back from the thought that seems to
Break me apart, and hold me down
Show me a way back to you, When I'm so deep in fear
And I feel there is no escape
I can't hear your voice but i hear

"Can you breathe as I'm halfway down your throat?
As I'm the weight that's resting on your chest.
As I'm the pressure thats weakening your lungs."

This feeling just keeps repeating
I know it's got a hold on me
I've been left alone for too long (or thats just how it seems)

Drag me out alive from this
Thats all I need right now
And when its over, I'm over this
You'll see how weak I was.

[Chorus]
Show me how to pull back from the thought that seems to
Break me apart, and hold me down
Show me a way back to you, When I'm so deep in fear
And I feel there is no escape
I can't hear your voice but I hear myself

I believe that we can make it
Just settle down settle down
I believe that we can make it
Just settle down settle down

I believe that we can make it
(I've got a feeling it's beginning to make sense)
Just settle down settle down
(I've got a feeling that this is over)
I believe that we can make it
(I've got a feeling it's beginning to make sense)
Just settle down settle down
(I've got a feeling that this is over)

I believe that we can make it [x4]
Just settle down settle down


12. THIS I BELIEVE

[Ross:] I will never turn, I will never look away

[Arin:] Father, show me Your face

[Aaron:] Praise Thee, come as You are

[Billy:] To hear Your voice

[Jeff:] Can You guide me all the way, until I'm home safe with You


13. SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS (THE POSTAL SERVICE COVER)

I am thinking it´s a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They´re perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it´s thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you´re away
When I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay

I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay

[guitar solo]

(Come down now)

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay


14. ROLE REVERSAL (BONUS TRACK)

I’ve been looking for,
looking for the tag that’s been tied around my neck.
I’ve been searching for,
searching for an identity that’s found in You.
Because I know there’s times when I feel your afar and there’s times when
I know I am further and there’s times when I really feel I’m alive and
there’s times when I feel there’s no-one in sight.

Recently we’ve been holding on to everyone’s last breath,
And letting it replay in our head.

I realized I was in too deep.
You never had to explain yourself to me.

How can we hide from our cold insides?
I can’t live side by side the description you’re giving me.
I find myself in something bigger than the size of your lips.

Take a step back, hold your thoughts.
It was never too easy for you.
I’ve found a peace in silence, as I listen, I’m lost for thought.

Recently we’ve been holding on to everyone’s last breath,
And letting it replay in our head.

How can we hide from our cold insides?
How can we hide from the one who never blinks?


15. I NEVER SAW THIS COMING (BONUS TRACK)

What have you done? What have you done this time?
Am I so different? Am I acting out of line?
There is no place I'd rather be right now.
I follow the light in the center. I follow you forever.

Follow you now, I've been gone too long.

I feel it in my bones. This was truth. This was the truth.

I've never felt this way before, did you see it coming?

I mean it when I said "I'm never coming home".
You thought you knew me all along and you said I wouldn't change
at all.
I remember when we could last this out.
Was your only intention to drag me down?

I feel it in my bones. This was truth. This was the truth.

Can you see where we both are now?
And how hopeless you've become?
Are the nights you spend alone becoming old?
Are you feeling this? Are you feeling this?

I feel it in my bones. This was truth. This was the truth.
