1. FIRST LOVE

There is no name for this
Worse than hypocrite
All the things I said I'd never
I've broken every one

What have I become? What happened to the son
Who said that eh would rather die than walk away from you?

So I throw my heart onto the floor
Like a sheep to the slaughter
And let it all bleed out
You can have it all, each part of me
The saint and the sinner are ready to return to my first love

Take me back
To the moment we were so close that our hearts
Would beat as one

Breathing a breath so sick
With truths that are counterfeit
The diagnosis is terminal
I'm bleeding in my mind

This mess of what I've done
has left a trail of blood
It's been so long since these gold eyes
Stared into the sun

I remember in any weather
I'd step out on the water the moment you would
Say the word
My obsession is my confession
How desperately I need you, and my heart aches
To hear your voice


2. LONG LIVE THE REBELS

We are the misfit renegades
We're caught somewhere between Heaven and rage
We're the outcast rogue brigade
The forgotten leftovers that the world threw away
We don't want your love
We don't want your fame
The wolves will give you nothing in return for what they take
We've given up being accepted
We're the rejected that embrace our rejection
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels who bleed a different kind of blood
We will never die
We are the black flag mutiny
We will not be enslaved to your atrocities
We're the late great epiphany
We're the only face of God that the blind are going to see


3. SECRET WEAPON

I feign the fortitude of stronger soldiers
I carry this caricature on my shoulders
No one can see that tensions beneath
I guard the gateway to the coward's kingdom
I retreat to ruin in the face of evil
No place to hide
I lift up my eyes
I've got a secret weapon
Break me down and bury my face
I'm a time-bomb ready to detonate
Leave me in ashes I'll rise up in flames
You can knock me out
Destroy my name
But my power it comes from a higher place
And my weaknesses just make me stronger
My weaknesses will make me stronger
I live the luxury of dead men's organs
I enlist the energy of greater forces
No one can see the stitches beneath
The height of Heaven is within my vision
This much more than superstition
God take this soul
I forfeit it all
Tapped out and I'm ready for anything
Blacked out but the fire is strengthening
Can't break this fever that's fueling me
I'm ready to go
I've got a secret weapon


4. ERASE

Come lift up your eyes and look into mine
Try to see what I see
Your mind has not been a friend
It chokes you within and makes truth look like a demon
Rewinding these memories, suffering every night
But I've been watching you
Hoping you would see the truth and run to the light
When you say you're not okay
My heart it breaks to heal your pain
I will erase your yesterday
You'll be okay
My live is greater than your mistake
I can't make you believe
Shame doesn't have to be your true identity
I still will not go away as long as it takes
I will keep your soul breathing
When you say you're not okay
My heart it breaks to heal your pain
I will erase your yesterday
You'll be okay
My love is greater than this
Forget every regret
I'll make perfection from this mess
I will erase your yesterday
You'll be okay
My love is greater than your mistake
You are not alone


5. COME MY WAY

Something makes me wonder if
I will ever feel safe
Running from the darkness in the atmosphere
Hear it calling

Are you gonna come my way?
Are you gonna come my way?

Well I'm dining with the enemy
On the seventeenth day
It's like I'm hiding from the remedy
Can't believe when they say
"Are you gonna come my way?"

Are you gonna come my way?
Can you feel my fingertips on the chalkboard by your soul?

There is no hiding from the whispering that's
Like screaming in my ears
There is no shelter from this offer when the
Only question I can hear is
"Are you gonna come my way?"
Yesterday I might have said yes, but not today

Something in the chemicals
Makes me dream of a place
Where I'm fighting for a miracle
Being pulled by the waves


6. UNDERDOG FIGHT SONG

It comes so easy when you're shooting your mouth off from a castle made of lies
How can I repay you for the wisdom behind your holy condescending eyes
You put your gun in your holster and a chip on my shoulder with a fuel that turned to fire
Well I've never run harder, never run faster
Your words couldn't murder my desire
Yeah I heard everything you said
You spouted off that "you'll never have what it takes"
It's been my pleasure proving you wrong
Child of war or just a playground bully in your fortress made of ink
It's easier to judge what someone else creates than to be the one who creates
So put your sword in your scabbard it's better to have your hands over your face
Well I've never run harder, never run faster
Your venom can't clip the wings of grace
It's hard to see what's at the top when you're looking from the bottom
It's hard to see what's at the top when you're looking from the bottom
I don't need your validation
I don't want your confirmation
I don't care what you think anymore
I don't care what you think anymore


7. GOD IS WITH US

Their words cannot stand against us for God is with us, God is with us
This desert is a wicked place
I'm weary from this wretched chase
Oh where does my help come from?
My enemies are strengthening every hour like a plague
Oh where does my help come from
Their words cannot stand against us for God is with us, God is with us
Their armies charge and storm the gates but when I call upon the name, that's where my help comes from
The victory is in our hands
The strongest darkness can't contend with where my help comes from
We won't be afraid
Through the flood and fames we'll never give up
For God is with us
Our God is with us


8. SPIRIT FIRE

These years that were taken from me keep calling out "can you come back in time?"
But these tears that were taken from me are keeping my feet here walking the line
These thieves that are calling to me keep waving their banner at the side of my eye
But this fire that is burning in me is keeping me here running after the prize
So bring out the next one
So bring out the next one
Come on bring out the next one
Set 'em up and we'll take 'em all down
Never gonna stop the fury
Never gonna stop the flame
The spirit is the fire that burns inside of me
Lord let your fire fall down and ignite me with your passion for your flame and burn inside of me
These fears that are following me keep dragging me out to the end o the sky
These hands that are rescuing me keep pilling me back from the edge of the knife
These sins that have fallen from me keep calling out "can you remember the high?"
These walls imprisoning me, I'm breaking them down one brick at a time
Oh Glory let the fire fall down
Let it fall
Glory let the fire fall
Let it fall


9. FOREVER STARTS TODAY

Don't pull the plug now
A waiting room that's cold and lonely
An eternity in purgatory
The beginning of an endless story

Still I waited for the medicine
To flow beneath your skin
You open up your eyes
And take your first true breath in

I've been hanging on the edge
To hear you say, "forever"
I was holding on, I kept holding on
To the hope that one day
You would lay down your heart
At the altar of grace and surrender
I've been hanging on the edge to hear you say
That forever starts today

I'll never forget the memories
When you were searching
Watching every bitter step of your journey
Every hour the suspense was burning

Still I waited for the Holy Ghost
To make his presence known
You open up your arms
And finally let yourself go


10. BLACK HOLE

The rise and fall of your anticipation
Wondering is there oxygen when the world is on your chest
You buried your sunshine in eternal eclipse
But I will make it burn again
Just like the black hole exists to steal all away
You can project all your pain on to me
I'll wipe the blood from your lips and the tears from your face
You can project all your pain on to me
The life and death of all your aspirations
Wondering is there meaning in the hell that you've been dealt
You buried the key to your heart in the darkest part of space
But I will open it again
These stripes on my back speak love for you
These black holes in my hands exist to steal away ever sin of the world
Just like the black hole exists to teal all away
I'll steak you away


11. SPINNING

Another sun is born while another stars goes black
And the world keeps spinning around
Another disease is cured while another bomb is dropped
And the world keeps spinning around
Somebody's tragedy is somebody's victory
And the world keeps spinning around
And the world keeps spinning around
My heart can't take it anymore
I'm like a burned out cigarette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
No safe place in a civil war
The meaningful and the meaningless
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
The bullet that slayed was the same bullet that saved
And the world keeps spinning around
The blood of thousands spilled
The greatest nations built
And the world keeps spinning around
And the world keeps sinning around
I don't know if I can handle your answers to the questions I have inside my heart
So just hold me in the chaos
Hold me while the world keeps spinning out of my control
My heart can't take anymore
I'm just a used up cigarette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
No safe place in a civil war
The meaningful and the meaningless
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
My heart can't take it anymore
I'm just a brain dead silhouette
With the world would just stop spinning for a minute
Would just stop spinning for a minute
Just stop spinning for a minute


12. EMPTY GRAVE

So reckless, left breathless
My weakness out on display
My heart was so broken
My scars had drowned out all my faith
It was hard to see my worst enemy hiding deep within myself
Needed you to save the only thing I had left
Wide awakened from the dead
A day that I could not forget
I was so empty the day that you found me
Kneeling at your cross I find a place that I can find new life
Where you resurrect me leaving an empty grace
Been fighting, been trying
Been six feet down in my shame
My promise, I broke it
My God I did it all again
Though it's hard to see my identity lies in more than my mistakes
You know what I need
Faith to believe again
Death couldn't hold You in the grace
Now by Your power You can save my life
I'm alive 'cause You're alive
I'm alive 'cause You're alive
