Better Left Untold

I don’t believe in everything. I don’t believe a word that you’ve spoken. I don’t believe you’re suffering.I don’t believe your heart can be broken. I’m stuck here living on a high wire, looking down, afraid of heights,
praying things aren’t so dire. But I’ve fallen, broken into shattered glass. Lying helpess into pieces swept up from the past. So can you figure me out now? Will you figure me out?
With you it’s all or nothing. Some things are better left untold. Don’t wanna hear the screaming. Some things are better left untold. With you manipulating. Some things are better left untold. Don’t want the verbal beatings. Some things are better left untold.
I won’t give in to all the pain. No I won’t give in to all of your poison. I’ve just grown deaf to your complaints. It’s time to take back all that you’ve stolen. I’m stuck here living on a high wire, looking down, afraid of heights,
praying things aren’t so dire. But I’ve fallen, broken into shattered glass. Lying helpess into pieces swept up from the past. So can you figure me out now? Will you figure me out?

We All Fall Down

One foot in the world and one foot right with God, which side of the fence am I swinging on? Day by day I hear your voice inside and pray, but there’s a bang, bang, bang of the same damn thing. Sometimes I give in to the lies. Even though I still believe in you. Sometimes I’m soaking in my cries. All the while you still believe in me.
Take my life and give it strength. Every time I seem to fall down
[FALL DOWN FALL DOWN]
Well we all fall down.
Pump your blood into my veins. Be my savior when I fall down
[FALL DOWN FALL DOWN]
‘Cause we all fall down
Stay please stay, grab ahold of me say you hear the bang bang bang, ’cause I knocked and rang. Sometimes, the sin is like a stain. I wear it all ‘cause I believe in you. Sometimes, I dangle from the train. You pull me back ’cause you believe in me. Believe in me. We all fall down. Praise your name in a world so full of blame. Forgive our shame shame, shame, ‘cause we all fall down.

Control

I used to think that I had control. But I can’t live with the fear no more. Save me, save me, save me.
You say I must give up control, and place my fears in the hands of divinity. So I scream, I lay down all control.
With all the weakness buried inside of me.
I’m soaked in tears, spread across the floor. So I cry out, “Can you hear me Lord? Help me Lord!”
Through the darkest depths of fear that kept me binded, sheds a light on faith that I would be reminded.
Through the darkest depths of fear that kept me binded, sheds a light on faith that always lights the way.
You say I, you say I, you say I’m buried inside of me.

I Hear You Now

In the world I feel the cold, and the lies are all around. The fear would take a hold, and I couldn’t hear a sound. Then I heard you speak loud.
I hear you now, your voice is calling me. I hear you now, your voice the air I breathe. I hear you now, the voice of eternity. I hear you now, I hear you now.
Every time I feel alone, and my heart’s left shattered. Everything I need to know, in your words I feel no doubt. The truth is coming out.
You saved my soul. I was a raging fire. Pulled from the depths of my own desires, I’ll shed my skin, and I’ll form anew. I’ll die to self through the words of you. What’s in this world is what I’ll throw away. What’s in your words, I hear everything.

212°

Take all the broken words that you gave, and let me smash them in your face. You’re just a wannabe and now I truely see, you have no faith. So take your plastic goals and your shame, and spread them country wide, no gain. Some day you’ll learn and we’ll watch you burn. Watch as you go down in flames.
All your masks are burning on the stove, for 212°. Your idols never sold their soul, for 212°. You wrapped a pretty excuse, but deep inside we’ve always known, all you’ll ever be is 212°.
Fake a smile with every hand that you shake. So who you gonna be today? A friend you claim to be, turned to rivalry. Lost in your way. So play the victim role that you play, to please your Texas Runaway. You were so easily castrated musically. Fallen from grace. Plastic goals, your shame, country wide, no gain. Some day you’ll learn and we’ll watch you burn.
Watch as you go down in flames.
All your masks are burning on the stove, for 212°. Your idols never sold their soul, for 212°. You wrapped a pretty excuse, but deep inside we’ve always known, all you’ll ever be is 212°. Your dreams are thrown right in the hole, for 212°. Fony words are eating up your soul, for 212°. You trade a friend or two, and we all see hypocrisy’s hold. All you’ll ever be is 212°.
