- So I Thought
I'm So Sick
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
This invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick
Fully Alive
Telling Layla's story spoken
'Bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases
Here she stands today
in her brilliant shining way
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered
Here she stands today
in her brilliant shining way
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
more than most
Ready to smile and love life
[Instrumental Break]
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
more than most
ready to smile and love life
Perfect
Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I tried to kill you
You tried to save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
Cassie
The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer no to avoid death
The answer yes would make it, make it
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger
All heads are bowed in silence
To remember her last sentence
She answered him, knowing what would happen
Her last words still hanging in the air, in the air
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger
How many will die?
I will die
I, I will say yes
"Do you believe in God?" Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?" Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger
"Do you believe in God?"
"Do you believe in God?"
"Do you believe in God?"
And I will pull the trigger
Sorrow
Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
We kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's half way mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars
Joy will come
I'm Sorry
I'm sorry
I don't mean to remember
It's true that I dream less often
I'm not ashamed of that long December
Your hand's coming down again
I close my eyes and brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
I'm falling (falling)
I'm shedding my skin (my skin)
But it's not time I'm told
I am aware (am aware)
Of what you mean by then
I'm only ten years old
Close my eyes and brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
My scars are yours today
This story ends so good
I love you and I understand
That you stood where I stand
Close my eyes and brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
I'm done healing
I'm done healing
All Around Me
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire runs in through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say
"We are alone with you"
I am alone, and they are too with you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Take my hand, I give it to you
Now you own me all I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I believe
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed
Breathe Today
You can only move as fast as
Who's in front of you
And if you assume
Just like them
What good will it do
So find out for yourself
So your ignorance
Will stop bleeding through
You can breathe today
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating
Logic forces me to believe in this
And I have learned to see
And I can only say what I've seen and heard
And only you can choose
And every choice you make will affect you
Search your own self
You can breathe today
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating
Breathe
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
Breathe
So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
Breathe
The empty shape in you
Breathe today
There For You
Sometimes I'm selfish fake
You're always a true friend
And I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
Please forgive me again
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
(I wanna be there for you)
Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your eyes
Sun kisses the earth
And I hush my urge to cry, cry
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
(I wanna be there for you)
'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
I wanna be there for you
And be someone you can come to
The love runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
So I Thought
All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
The times were right
And I couldn't talk about it
On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods you learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies about the times
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
The times were right
And I couldn't talk about it
Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last between
Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it
Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last between
Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last healing
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
