1. NO EXCUSES

You always turn around
When things don't go your way
Problem solved and you move on
You forget a price was paid

There's no excuses in the
Games that you play
Self-serving motives, spineless
You walk away

You and God, you get along
If he answers your prayers
You call it grace, but spit in his face
You're gone; you never really cared

There's no excuses in the
Games that you play
Self-serving motives, wake up
Don't walk away


2. LAST BREATH

I live this suicidal dream
Ingest the chemicals
'Cause they're all that I need
Inhale the poison deep into my lungs
The hangman is laughing
As the noose is strung

Addicted, convicted
Sentence me to death
I'm gonna be so high
When I take my last breath

Freedom, I celebrate in chains
I'll drag you down
Til nothing remains
Mama, aren't you so proud
Another needle in my arm
There's no escape now

God, are you there?
I'm at the end of my despair
Save me, save me

I'm so deserving of death
But still you gave up your life
I'm so deserving of death

My Savior, Redeemer
Bring me to life
Christ has set me free
I don't have to die
I don't have to die
I don't have to die


3. AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

Love ain't blind
To the seeds men sow
Ignorance is the logic of control

Through the glass I darkly see
The human tragedy

As far as the eye can see
Blind is humanity

Selfishness
In us all
Final motive
Since the fall

Can't you see


4. BLOW THE PAST AWAY

If I could take a shotgun
To these memories
Like a high dose of chemo
To eradicate disease
Maybe an AK
Let 'em bleed out on the floor
When peace of mind is left behind
What good are these thoughts for

Blow the past away
Erase these yesterdays
Blow the past away
Nothing left to say

If you can line 'em up please
I can mow them down
In the sea of forgetfulness
Where I can watch them drown
Staring out of vacant eyes
I'll bring you to your knees
On the inside you die
And no one hears you scream


5. TIME BOMB

Temptation in my veins
Like I'm playing some losing game
One misstep into misery
The painful truth comes
Crashing on me, yeah

As I pay for my father's sin
I find myself in the lion's den
As I pay for my father's sin
This ticking time bomb, time bomb
Comes back to haunt me again

There's nowhere for me to hide
I can't escape this thorn in my side
The loneliness is all I see
I pray once again
Oh God, save me, yeah


6. JUST LIKE HOME

How many times have I stumbled
And you'd catch my fall
How many times have I ran away
Then back to your arms

I'm holding out my heart again
Longing to be healed
I'm running to my father
And it feels just like home

Why do I keep looking backwards
To where I've been
I must keep pressing onward
I won't get fooled again


7. SONGS IN THE NIGHT

Falling on deaf ears
Staring into the sun
A heart that's grown so cold
It can't feel
Is it foolish pride
Or pearls before swine
But still they all cry
For something real

Redeeming the time
In this evil day
Seek and you'll find
Only one name
Redeeming the time
In this evil day
Screaming out life
Never ashamed

His spirit calls
Out into the fields
Calling for his children
To come home
He breaks every chain
Frees every slave
A love that always stays
You're not alone


8. REDEEMING THE TIME

I hear the voices
Whisper my name
They're clothed in darkness
Leading to flames
You won't leave me here to die
Your word is true
I'll sing praises in the night to you

Holy, holy is the Lamb
My Savior, my God

How many times
You've rescued me
From my own self
I fall on my knees
I now offer up my life
I am renewed
I'll sing praises in the night to you

Called from shadows into light
The chosen few
I'll sing praises all my life to you


9. SHINE ON ME

The darkest of nights were upon me
No shelter from the midnight sky
Did you hear the voice that was calling
Into the light

Shine on me
Let the glory of heaven
Shine the light to see
Shine on me
Like the dawn breaking open
Makes this life complete
Shine on me

The demons that haunted my past
When pitch black covered up my soul
The mystery that those shadows cast
Are now exposed


10. SAY GOODBYE

A day is coming
This flesh in which I dwell
I will lay it down
Just an empty shell
For those who are left grieving
You know I must move on
God will dry your tears
After I'm gone, yeah

I hate to say goodbye
When the end's before my eyes
When my time arrives
And I lay down this life
I'll have to say goodbye

Will it even matter
Will anyone still care
Will someone shake their head
And say that life's not fair
For those who are grieving
For a loss in your life
Lift up your weary hearts
God can dry your eyes, yeah

Eternity's coming
The chains falling from me and you
Set your eyes to the one who
Eternally loves you
It's true
Yeah, it's true

I'll kiss this world goodbye


11. HUMAN BEING

The unknown road before me
My past behind
So tired of my misery
The choice was mine
It was mine

Let me take you back again
Show you all that I'm feeling
Steady as it goes to ten
I'm a human, being me

I let my world grow small
But I had to breathe
Make a stand or take my fall
I had to believe to be free

You tried to tell me I was wrong
Like I had been the fool all along
But then the light shined down on my face
There wasn't enough room for me and you
In this place


12. DYING BATTERY

That's the sound of a dying battery.
