1. BETWEEN THE LINES

I never knew it could be like this
I can't believe you'd show your face again
Always lookin' the other way
So turn around now
Just turn around

And tell me why you don't know my name
Tell me why you won't see me on the other side
Tell me why when you look at me you turn away
Tell me why it's so hard to read between the lines

I can't believe you treat me like this
I cannot breathe 'cause you restrict my breath
You say you love me then hide your face
So turn around now
Just turn around

You hung me out to dry
Said a long good-bye
Pushed me from the sky
Bowed your head to pray again
You bowed your head


2. DESPERATE

This is my sanctuary
This is my place of rest
You kill the pain outside
A pillow to my chest
Now my eyes start to wonder
I set my gaze on you
You calm these thoughts of murder and now my mind's renewed

Life to inspire
Melt down the hatred
Walk through the fire
I've been cremated

I'm desperate for you, I am

I once stood on the ledge
I trembled at the sound
The voice inside my head would scream at me so loud
Take the next step baby
'Cause you're all alone
But that's a lie from hell
I know, I know


3. WHERE HAVE YOU GONE

I recall the days of youth and I was never told that the burdens that I carried could bring me down so low
All the ones who said "faithful til the end" got lost along the way
Then reality sets in

And sometimes I wonder how I made it through
And it all comes back to you

The innocence is gone
But the selfishness remains
The emptiness of life is written on your face
I can't live your life and I can't turn back time
I cannot change the way things are
But still I question why

I stand alone
Where have you gone?
Away
I watch you fall
Where have you gone?
Away

The ones who said they cared now seem so out of reach
Disappointment floods my soul and it's hard for me to speak


4. WATCHING AND WAITING

Take a look at where you've been and all you've gained
Memories of a life gone by
The footprints remain

The purpose and the reason
Why are we here?
It's the time and it's the season for our light to shine

The world is looking at all of us
What will they see?
Will they see the light of Christ inside you and me?


5. LETTING GO

She stands all alone
Stares out her window into the night sky
Her heart slowly dies
Lonely eyes in tears reflect on the years wasted in the lies, regret, compromise

Let go of all your hurting
There's one who knows your name
Christ died to give you freedom from your pain

Reaching out
Breaking through
Holding on
Calling you

Darkness all around
Her world crashing down
Sleep seems far away
Searching for words to say
She prays silently
Dear God rescue me from all that I feel
Bring me something real

Run to the only Savior
You'll find that he knows your name
Christ died to give us freedom from our pain


6. WEDDING RINGS

Soul suffering
Weddings rings
Better left unsaid
Blood on my face
Such a mystery
Still nothing can erase

How could you love me when all you do is hurt me?
How could you love me?
How could you love me?

Push comes to shove
Where's the love?
Should I turn the other cheek?
Bruised by a dove as it was
Now it's telling me to leave


7. IN THIS PLACE

Live beneath the shelter promises unknown
I'd like to hold your hand
But I am here alone

If I can't feel
Then it's not real
Am I just a waste of space?
No I won't cry 'cause I've gotta fight so I can stay in this place again

I'd like to believe
But do you really exist?
My selfishness has turned you into a myth

As I kneel
I know you're real
Won't you come invade this space
No I won't fight
I think I can fly
Won't you stay in this place again


8. THE WAR WITHIN

Why should you criticize when I won't compromise?

But still I turn my eyes to the starry skies
My worst enemy
The darkness or me?
Is the essence of life to do what's right?

Feelings failing
Thoughts betraying
All is breaking down

This war that I fight within seems to never end
The moth flies to the flame
Only myself to blame
The flesh is crucified
Daily I must die
Is the essence of life to do what's right?


9. WALKING WASTELAND

Sometimes the day breaks quick
Sometimes the night lasts long
I drink the water pure
But it just feels wrong
So my life passes me by
Winter's well on its way
I feel a certain disdain as my broken heart betrays

Now I feel like a walking wasteland
What have I done?
What will I do?
I feel like a walking wasteland
I certainly know what uncertainties grow in the truth

So would you hold my hand?
Would you watch my back?
Would you break me down but keep my soul intact?
Am I on the path?
A slave to my design
Within a course construct of a hopeless mind

Would you bring me back a prodigal in chains?
Would you break down my bonds 'til only you remain?

And I feel like a walking wasteland
What have I done?
What would I do?
I feel like a walking wasteland
I certainly know that your hand shows the truth


10. JESUS WE WORSHIP YOU

Another day I gotta wait just to see you again
Another day I gotta wait for you to return
Until then I'm gonna praise and lift up your name
How my soul does burn
If you think I"m just gonna sit on my hands and watch the world go by
You've got another thing comin'
I'm always gonna scream it 'til the day I die

Jesus, we worship you

So here we go
Another chance for you to stand
Another time to raise your voice
Don't let the rocks cry out in your place
It's time we made some noise


11. GRAVITY PLANE

The weeping hour
Set the universal stage
It's time to gather up the information
Saddle up for judgement day
To reach the tower despite the gravity below
Beam away into the stars to our new celestial home

I never wanted to leave
I never wanted to die
I only wanted to believe that this was true

Ride the comet's fire
I believe the choice I made was in a vain attempt to find salvation on a cosmic airplane
In flight attire and a rocket ship of clay
Soaring past the universe
Say good-bye to heaven's gate

Save me
I'm looking for redemption
Save me
Carry me away
Am I a lot like you?
Are you a lot like me?
Could we find ourselves together all alone?
