1. COMPLAIN

Did you see my hands were tied?
I pierced this Savior's side
Well, what have I done?
(what have we become?)

And more words to run I t thru
To crush anything I n You
And to trip I t up

It's simple though I 'm tired
Been unmoved, uninspired

Did you see my eyes were blind?
To even know what I had to find
Much less count the cost
(or count me for lost)

Insane for another day
So all I s all right, okay
I trip I t up

It's easy though I 'm mad
Weathered so and sad...

To see the lies I n me
And why (I never try)
But I 'll stand (displeased) so cheap

Did you see my mouth was closed?
Of the priceless fill I know
Not a word to say
(I spoke anyway)

Well, I cried for an I nside
An I nside to realize
Oh, how tripped up

It's different though, I 'm strange
I'll never, never change...

To see the lies I n me
And why (I never try)
But I 'll stand (displeased) so cheap

Did you see my head was dead?
To any right or good that's said
Would I bow?
(could you learn I t now?)

Sick for a little hope
Hope that's a choke and joke
Christ - trip me up

I really see I 'm free
When You carry me...

To see the lies I believe
And why (I'd ever try)
And I can pray (so deep) received


2. BONES ARE BREAKING

Is I t daybreak? I 'm sure
And you're feeling weary
There I s so much, I know
It's just got to end soon

Well, I can't hold this weight
Upon my shoulders anymore
My bones are breaking
Hands are shaking
With everything

Are you worn out? I 'm sure
Not happy nearly
Too far I n such to know
You just have to break soon

Well, I can't hold this weight
Upon my shoulders anymore
My bones are breaking
Hands are shaking
With everything

So I
Give all
To you
My God

Well, I can't hold this weight
Upon my shoulders anymore
My bones are breaking
Hands are shaking
With everything

Well, I can't hold this weight
Upon my shoulders anymore
My bones are breaking
My bones are breaking
My bones are breaking
My bones are breaking


3. MY WORLD FALLS DOWN

Oh, how my world falls down
And how I sink at the sound
But how I won't shut up

I stay (though my pain I t swells)
I wait (as I f all I s well)
I faint (cause I 've choked to tell)

I've got my sin and I 've got my lie
Am I on my face? got to know who am I
I'm a stupid man and my eyes are dry

Oh, how my world falls down
And how I sink at the sound
But now I won't shut up

Insane. what say me?
My God, get me free
Insane. what say me?
My God, get me free

I stay (though how dumb I be)
I wait (as He waits for me)
I faint (cause I t's so heavy)

Will I lift my hands and die I nside?
I suffocate when I hold my life
Will we throw this out? ya, I need Christ

Insane. what say me?
My God, get me free
Insane. what say me?
My God, get me free

Oh, how my world falls down
And how I sink at the sound
And still I won't shut up


4. SLOW

Green I've seen
As jealous as anything

Blue it's true
Weep to sleep over you

I feel - and I kill

The sea in me
Toss me up, around indeed

I will - be still

It's all chasing, racing
Often crazy
Does it show?
But I've been praying lately
And Christ will slow me, free
I know

Red I'm dead
"Grief has got me" so I've said

Clear to hear
However gone I could be near

I will - be filled

It's all chasing, racing
Often crazy
Does it show?
(Grab me, that I might be awake)
But I've been praying lately
And Christ will slow me, free
I know
(Slow me, as I am running way to fast)

The wind in sin
On my hands instead again

Instill - Your will

It's all chasing, racing
Often crazy
Does it show?
(Grab me, that I might be awake)
But I've been praying lately
And Christ will slow me, free
I know
(Slow me, as I am running way to fast)


5. I AM NO GOOD

So it seized me
So it grieves me
Grabs me everyday

Will it bleed thru?
Does it burn you?
Got to take us ever low

Take, us, take us ever low
No, other, no other chance I know

Am I thinking?
Am I drinking?
Wrapped in me today

So you're scheming
Still you're dreaming
All you have and plan you fail

All, you, all you have you fail
I, put, I put my life up for sale

Cause I am no good
(I am no good)
I am no one
(I am no one)
No, I am no good

Leave it all down
I give all now
Full of earth, I agree

Does it create?
Like a headache?
Got you on your hands and knees

On, your, on your hands and knees
Now, I, now I fall in need

Cause I am no good
(I am no good)
I am no one
(I am no one)
No, I am no good
(I am no good)
Cause I am no good
(I am no good)
I am no one
(I am no one)
No, I am no good

Now, I, now I fall indeed


6. THOUGHTLESS

In my money, I was at home
To the beggar, I was so cold
In my pockets, all that I could hold
As I left here, this was all I was told...

Well, I get a dime for all of my good
A nickel for all that I could
And a quarter for all I said I would
And I was left poor, poor, poor
Oh my, how poor

As a thinker, I was so loud
In my wisdom, I was profound
As I left here, this was the sound...

Well, I get a dime for all of my good
A nickel for all that I could
And a quarter for all I said I would
And I was left poor, poor, poor
Oh my, how poor
Oh my Lord

By my own way, I felt very near
When it shook me, this was all
I could hear...


7. HOPE FOR ALWAYS

When 'all is mine' is over
Would You have the time, my friend
To push me up and over
Hold me till the glory end, and

When my pain is sober
Would You have the mind to send
Hope for always ever
Hold me - this wicked man and

Me, with pain and all
Might take the fall
Yet grow so tall

And creeping like a wonder
Is the fear that drives me mad
"That all is going under,
All is always ever sad" and

Throwing winter summer
And breezing me to my greed
But give me hope for always
'All' is falling on my knees and

You, with love and truth
Will make us new
And will hold us thru

The sins of the world wouldn't hold You
Though it seems each day I try
Please, bless me with hope for always
That I might live, might die and

Me, with pain and all
Might take the fall
Yet grow so tall

You, with love and truth
Will make us new
And will hold us thru


8. WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU

Hey you got a little something to say
I know you think it wrong
And you're gonna make the world okay
Make us strong

Where did you go?

Want your right? rise up today
You, one and all
And the soul not so much to pay
Feeling tall

Where did you go?
Where were all of you?

A Man can die
A child can cry
Or One crucified
For you and I

A child can die
A Man can cry
And nailed on high
To give us life

Where's the rights?
Where's the rights?
Oh, where's the rights?

Have to push 'no choice' away
Ya, make it small
"Have to do all what we may"
You can't fall?

Where did you go?
Where did you go?


9. BLISS IS

Raised to be rich
Trip or be tripped
Give to get, live to get
Throw a fit
Give to get, live to get
What is it?

You're gonna have to wait
My family can't relate
On the floor, out the door
Clean the slate
On the floor, out the door
In this hate

And this is how
I'll let it go
Savior save me
From what I know
(Oh, what do I know?)

Pushed ahead in this
Society angry bliss
Disregard life is hard
Give a kiss
Disregard life is hard
Cut my wrist

Did I never care?
Silence at the dinner chair
Hush up now, hear us now
Sit and stare
Hush up now, hear us now
Was it fair?

And this is how
I'll let it go
Savior save me
From what I know
(Save me from what I know)


10. CANNON-FIRE ORANGE

Sailing away
Towards uncertainties
Uncertain seas
Change today

Traveled to that land
Took it all second hand
I fought for cover
Then I ran, ran, ran

Found a love colored me whole
No more cannon-fire orange,
Cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange

Does the flower drown
In the winter swon
Or go away
Never again to show

Can it be found
Below the frail ground
When we look away
Is it around

For now I see what needs to be
No more cannon-fire orange,
Cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange

I'm counting the days
To discover the ways
How the fire turns cold
Like I've been told

The flame burns the tree
I don't know what to be
'Someone' holding the match
'Someone' is me

So I cannot stand
Without the help of His hand
No more cannon-fire orange,
Cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange


11. RING TRUE

What is this?
Thru strange and bad
It does not touch this joy I have

What is this?
Thru future, past
And now or then only love will last

Oh, these words ring true to me

Love the Maker
Crown the King
Who gives us all and makes me sing

Count my blessings
On my knees
So thankful for all everything

Oh, these words ring true to me

My strength is dead
I hope instead
In what will be
In what we'll see

My strength is dead
I hope instead
On every word He's said

This is real
And this is good
To trust in truth now as I should

Give the glory
Give the pain
And let the fall build me again

Oh, these words ring true to me
Oh, these words ring true to me

My strength is dead
I hope instead
In what will be
In what we'll see

My strength is dead
I hope instead
On every word He's said

Who gives us all
(Who gives us all)
And makes me sing
So thankful for
(So thankful for)
All everything

M strength is dead
I hope instead
In what will be
In what we'll see
My strength is dead
I hope instead
On every word He's said

Who gives us all
(Who gives us all)
And makes me sing
So thankful for
(So thankful for)
All everything


12. SICKLY

Is it sunny?
Or is it raining out today?
Is it calm outside?
Or is the wind all on your face?
Did the storm subside?
Did it leave without a trace?

Are you well?
Or have you never been so sickly?
Are you stupid?
Or have you never been so funny?

Will, I don't know, but I think I'm gonna
Scream
Well, I don't know, but I think I'm going
Crazy

Are you empty?
Or are you all up full of money?
Is your head clear?
Or is it busy, falling, snowing?
Are you sad?
Or have you never been so happy?

Well, I don't know, but I think I'm gonna
Scream
Well, I don't know, but I think I'm going
Crazy
Well, I don't know, but I think I'm
On my knees
Well, I don't know, but I think I
Gotta pray
