Lyrics


1. 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)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)


2. FULLY ALIVE

Telling layla's story spoken
About how all her bones are broken
hammers fall on all the peices
two months in the cover creases

Fully alive, more than most
ready to smile and love life.
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures.

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.

Fully alive, more than most
ready to smile and love life.
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures


3. PERFECT

Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
Open the windows to cool off
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
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 running 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.

Perfect in weakness.
I'm only running in just your strength alone.
Perfect in weakness.
I'm only running in just your strength alone


4. 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

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


5. 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 perferate 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,
And soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

We kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's half way mine
The sword is slicing through the questions so I won't be fooled
By his angel light..

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you and for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole as you flew right though me
and up into the stars
Joy will come


6. 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
I 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. I'm shedding my skin.
But it's not time I'm told.
I am aware of what you mean and by then,
I'm only ten years old.

I close my eyes and brace myself
I 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 stood.

I close my eyes and brace myself
I 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


7. ALL AROUND ME

My hands are searching for you...
My arms are outstretched towards you
l 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'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 healed

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

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 healed

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 beleive...
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


8. RED SAM

Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings

There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air

And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship

You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life


9. THERE FOR YOU

Sometimes I'm a selfish fake.
You're always a true friend.
I don't deserve you cause I'm not there for you.
Please forgive me again...

I want to be there for you...
Someone you can come to...
It runs deeper than my bones...
I want to be there for you.

Swirling shades of blue
slow dancing in your sky,
The sun kisses the earth
and I hush my urge to cry.

I want to be there for you...
Someone you can come to...
It runs deeper than my bones...
I want to be there for you.
Cause I hear the whispered words
in your masterpiece, beautiful...
You speak the unspeakable through...
I love you too.

I want to be there for you
And be someone you can come to
The love runs deeper than my bones
And I want to be there for you


10. 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 effect 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


11. 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 to 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

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 to 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 weren't right
And I couldn't talk about it

Chorus Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last between
Chorus 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

Chorus Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last between
Chorus 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
