Solace
secrets trapped inside a wounded heart
searching for the light amidst all the dark
but hiding under your covers as you quiver with fear
won't make the monsters disappear, but
You don't have to hide anymore
you don't have to run away
(and face it all alone)
there is no fear here
(safe in love)
He is all you need
He is everything
I know that you're afraid to reveal your imperfections
but the way to freedom is through confession
so lay it down right now and let Him intercede
cause only through truth will you be free
and see that He is all you need
Just let go
I wanna know I'm alive
I wanna live in the light
very soon you'll see that it doesn't belong
I cannot live this way
I wanna see You again
take what You want I have nothing left to fear
so much time wasted on my selfish heart
but I see now it was You all along
even in my darkest moments You name me lovely
Ghosts
I had plans to die today
I trusted this bottle to take it all away
and leave me cold
I had plans to die today
to fall asleep with nothing left to say
cause no one cares anyway
and as I'm staring at my reflection now
it's screaming words at me
that I'm not worthy
so I took my life, took it in my hands
I decided I'm not worth a chance
Why am I so dark inside?
these thoughts I cannot hide
I'll let go of my life
lay down my guard tonight
I destroy everything I touch
It'll be so easy to give up
these ghosts wrap me in their lies
nothing left to satisfy
I had plans to die today
but woke up to nurses all around
dressed in a gown
I had plans to die today
but someone else had a different frame
on my distorted view of reality
and as I laid there in my selfish state
say between the walls of my fate
I felt a hope creep in instead
and Truth re-wrote the words in my head
wide eyed disbelief takes me back
the world only sees a selfish act
but I swear I wanted to fight
I didn't want to give up tonight
I'm running blindly from death
but I see a light up ahead
I know that You hear me
I know You're listening
cause Truth has rescued me
and I'll see daylight again
I want to understand
that all You have for me
is all I'll ever need
cause Truth has rescued me
and I'll see daylight again
and You came back for me when no one else believed
I wanna understand
that all You have for me
is all I'll ever need
cause I'm alive
Plastic
I look so pretty in my box
placed in line upon the shelf
all my lining is in tact
and all the binding is in place
If i step outside
it could be dangerous
cause people always look down
at the rebellious
but when I look inside of me
I start to see these parts of me
and I'm beginning to notice
that I don't believe anything I see
and I just want to be free
but I will break all these plastic parts of me
until there's nothing fake that I can see
oh I never knew deceit could hide behind a simple smile
but I know all I wanna do is give in
to the art of being real
the veil has been removed and I can finally see the truth
I'll scream it out, until you can see it too
looking at where I used to be seeing you're still stuck where I was
and you're showing off that mask you wear
while you hide behind that fake stare
but the problem with perfection
is that no one knows who you really are and
while you're trying to be perfect
the rest of us are all fine
let the fire burn it all
watch the fire burn it all
send Your fire burn it all
Embers
The ember flicker in the distance
as children play unaware
the silent enemies watch and listen quietly
to prepare the way for more despair
one more time down the slide
one more jump off the swings
I swear I won't let it take me
I swear I'll try to stay me
but the fire is falling fast
as my town turns to ash
outside this chain link fence I've built
to preserve myself
I see the embers flash
as my city turns to ash
we can't escape this mess we've made
by running away
no one saw it as it came this way
it crept in and began to decay
in this city that has lost itself
and abandoned Your name
and succumbed to the flames
I lift my eyes up
where does my help come from?
my help comes from the Lord
the maker of heaven and earth
I see the light bursting through the night
and I know that my help is on the way
I see the sky open up and I
and I know that my hope is on the way
my help is on the way
my hope is on the way
You are on Your way
You will save the day
You will save me
Gilded
I sit alone in a crowded room
wanting nothing more than to be removed
we play these people like they're a game
who has the most in the end wins
how are we so blind? have I always been this blind?
I stared at gilded walls, but I never felt the fall
lead me into Your arms
I'm afraid anywhere else
might break my heart
I'm never satisfied
we're never satisfied
we operate under this false illusion
that we deserve anything at all
You're breaking down my walls
I've had for so long
now I want nothing more
I want nothing more
all for my personal gain
to satisfy my vanity
I want nothing more
now I want nothing more
