1. SIX AND ONE

I recall the words from your lips, your foot against my back.
The stairs against my chest.
I remember your footsteps behind me and the rest I've forgotten.
60 seconds to die-60 seconds to say my last goodbye.
There's a time for remorse, there's a time for dying.
You have no control, this is my time to live.
60 seconds to die-60 seconds to say my last goodbye.
1,000 corners have coressed these tears.
1,000 tears have comforted these cheeks.
Even under words I said nothing.
I've laced my lips with wire to keep the
words from your ears.
So that the words I bleed arn't heard.
So that the blood speak is unattainable.
Let's sit down and talk about you and I.
You were a child and I was one also.
But when it comes to down to discussing the
times I've got one thing on my mind.
60 seconds to die-60 seconds to say my last goodbye.


2. RECOVERY

When I wake up, I want to see you.
I need to hear you.
I want to live your
life. In my day. I fail to see.
I fail to seek the one who gives life.
I've looked away from your grace.
You've been waiting at the gates.
I'm running you're standing still.
It's been so long since I've been here.
It's time to come back again.
It's time to make correction.
Slain to the past.
Recovery (ressurect me) undeserving.
You love me still.
You're love, I love.
I've run away 1,000 times.
I've run away for the last time.
And I'm alone with bleedind and broken hands.
It's been so long since I've seen your love.
I'm running you're standing still.
It's been so long since I've been here.


3. I CAN REVIVE HIM WITH MY OWN HANDS

If love was this door, then I've slammed it in your face, ran out to the
balcony and jumped to the ground.
I've sponged the place in gasoline before igniting the foundation and burning it to ashes.
If love was a plane, then I've flown it to the highest point, only to let it come crashing down to the Earth.
Fasten your seatbelts, we're going down, we're going down now.
If love was a child, then I've scolded him to no end.
He's been filled with nothing inside.
Until the day when bullets filled the emptiness inside him.

From his own gun, from his own hands.
Love became the pill that stopped his shakes.
He's never crossed a man's face so hard.
Love became the pill that put him under, he's never scratched a man's heart so deep.
If love was born to die.
Then I've buried him six feet under.
If love was born to die then
I've buried him six feet under.
If love was a child, then I've scolded him to no end.
He's been filled with nothing inside.
Until the day when bullets filled the emptiness inside him.
If you take the one and minus Him by 2, you've got the end of the world, before it's even begun.
Although I've murded his heart, I can revive him with my own two hands.


4. THE TASK

It is ongoing.
I will never cease to give you my love.
There are so many outside who try to intrude and disrupt.
Will you cast your magic dust on them?
Will they breathe it into their lungs?
Will you show them your mercy if they give you thier hearts?
My mission won't fail.
I will not look astray.
You won't sell out to me.
You've got me hooked on your line.
Keep pulling in toward you, that I won't turn away or blink.
My love for you is a prison, my devotion is sealed away to tight.
My mission won't fail.
I will not look astray.
My love for you is a prison, my devotion is sealed away to tight.


5. LIGHT THROUGH SKIN

Rays of light that pierce through leaves fall on our skin.
We are allowed.

We look skyward.
His hands are glorious, maker of all.
We are attached, to
His every work.
Wind, moves through our hair.
Oh God, we feel Your spirit shining down on us.
You're so beautiful.
One chance to live this life.
One chance to sacrifice.
This treasure is wonderful.
How could they be so numb.

Rays of light that pierce through leaves fall on our bodies.
We are allowed, we are skyborn.
His hands are strong, Maker Of All.
We attached to His every work.
How could they be so dead not to love this.
How could they love greed and not want his?
How could they be so dead not to want this?
How could they be so empty not to love this.

Not to love this precious life
