Waves Like Oceans

And I'll admit I've had my doubts
Cause they're never saying a thing that gets to me
Only longing to feel anything
But they're never saying a thing
This fire sleeps
But you never walked away
Far too blind to see it, I'll find my own way
You never walked away
I've let their false ambitions lead me astray
But you never left me, did you?
If only I could see
As these waves hold me, I remember everything
And I still remember your presence long ago
And I swore I'd find you someday, but I took the longest road
Well I took the longest road to find you waiting all the same
With waves of grace like oceans and redemption in your name
And now this void is filled within
I've got to say something to make them feel
This passion inside, stronger than anything
With these flames ignited, lets make this real
You never walked away
This current pulls me under with a smile across my face
You never walked away
This undertow it grips me and it seems I've found my place
You never left me, my home is with you
You'll never leave me here
Well I took the longest road to find you waiting all the same
With waves of grace like oceans and redemption in your name

We'll burn this all to the ground and leave nothing behind
We'll burn this all to the ground and leave nothing behind
My past doesn't own me
Your words, they don't own me
Your thoughts, they don't own me
So light the match
And we could take this skyline and turn it all to flames
Erasing all transgressions, erasing every pain
Baptize this world in fire and we'll just start over again
I would love to watch it all reign down from the sky
(And I'd like... to watch... it rain down... from the sky...)
Feel your power all around me echoing eternity
"And it's all my fault, and it's all a charade
And it's all my fault, anyway..."
They slaughtered trust with a thirsty knife
We're broken down bring us back to life
"And everything will stay the same
Kind of like, nothing will change
It's all been done, it's all been seen..."
With the exception of what could be
Give us a new beginning
Consume us with your vision

Lifeless Vessels

So, let's get one thing understood, it's not our pride, it's not our blood
Hypocrisy lives in our hearts, but "it's alright, it's all good"
Something about this turns me off
Something about this turns me off
We'd be lifeless vessels, drifting away, if all of this wasn't held in place
We're all saints within these walls, but animals on the outside
We'll rise together above the fall of man
We'll rise together above this tyranny
I don't need this
We'd be lifeless vessels, drifting away, if all of this wasn't held in place
We're all saints within these walls, but animals on the outside
We'll rise together above the fall of man
We'll rise together above this tyranny
We'll rise together above this tyranny
"You say it's over, but I don't feel the son"
So, just hold on one more day

Watch the Darkness Flee
04:40

Frozen death grips surrounding me
Beating me black and blue, so abused
Used like a tool in your ways
It seems I'm drowning again in your wake
I fell with you to the bottom, slowly sinking
They tell me everything happens for a reason
You left me here in this darkness
What was I thinking?
I can't help but to feel like this is a treason
This is a treason, this is a treason
And all I can say, I wish I never came
Take all the times that I tried to live for you and just throw them away
I'll set my sights to north and simply walk away
You say you'll show me the life and the love of this world
But I'll never be closer to love than through its death
And the death of you, and the death of you
And all I can say, I wish I never came
Take all the times that I tried to live for you and just throw them away
So broken down inside, restore me once again
We'll raise a mighty army delivered by your hand
Believing in the things unseen
Sharpen us like knives and watch the darkness flee
We are the chosen ones, we are the children of the light
And we'll cut like knives, we are
We're the children of light, and we'll pierce this darkness

I could never live my life the way that they planned for me
And I awake to find your words, so gracefully
Condescending, screaming at me
This constant buzzing passing through
Rings more like deceit and less like truth
Signals spark from crossed wires
Transmission lost, over and out
Aboard this wayward vessel, the mutiny sets in
Your silence speaks more than words could ever portray
With command overridden
We'll reclaim the seas
A messenger to the broken
"Here I am, send me"
And I awake to find your words, so gracefully
Condescending, screaming at me
This constant buzzing passing through
Rings more like deceit and less like truth
And I awake to find your words, so gracefully
Condescending, screaming at me
I could never live my life the way that they planned for me

There Was Nothing Left
04:25

Staring at my reflection, my thoughts become transparent
This feeling of emptiness, I cannot deny
I am asking for a sign, something to believe in
Can you show me what is real, can you show me what is truth
Because faith is sometimes not enough
I'm the doubter, I am the doubter
So shamefully I beg of you
Take what's left of me and do what you will
Staring up to the sky, my thoughts become so obvious
This feeling raging inside, I can no longer deny
I have given up on this world
There's nothing left here that can fill this void I feel, that I feel within
Because faith is sometimes not enough
I'm the doubter, I am the doubter
So shamefully I beg of you
Take whats left of me and do what you will
There's nothing left here that can fill this void that I feel within

This is what you would tell anybody
That there must always be somebody else to blame for the pain, never feeling the shame
I'd like to thank you for the best times
I'd like to thank you for the worst times
Why can't you feel like me
Why can't you see just what I see
I know that you would like to think all of your angles are ninety degrees
Be assured this will bring you to your knees
This will continue until you choose to let this go
Can't you find forgiveness somewhere in your heart
Carrying bitterness forever, this will break you apart
Bending and breaking, sifting and shaking
This has become a fault line around you now
Before the earth swallows you whole, the strongest of grips can be broken

And all along this path I've chosen, a steady unconsciousness
We're just selfish, restless souls wrestling our own selflessness
Breathing, existing but we're oh so dead inside
We're leaving our fate as open as these vacant skies
And if this dark horizon fails to produce another sunrise
What happens when there's no one left to hear our cries
And all along this path I've chosen, a steady unconsciousness
We're just selfish, restless souls wrestling our own selflessness
Breathing, existing but we're oh so dead inside
We're leaving our fate as open as these vacant skies
Oh, but what if there was another way out of this
There must be a way, I know there's a way
Come rescue me
And when our eyes do meet, will you still love me then
And when our hearts do meet, will they make amends

She sings to me in verses spoken in wicked tongues
Her words are death whispered softly in my ear
Her chorus, a kiss, like poison upon my lips
From the watery depths below she calls to me...
"To hear is to obey"
Sinking slowly now

Vast and Endless

Sinking slowly, sinking slowly now
I know
Oh, this must be a dream
Arms outstretched grasp for me over a distance, but can I reach
Across these vast and endless seas we still survived through everything
Why aren't we speechless of this grace that sustains us
Where does the ocean meet the sky?
I want to know
Oh, this must be a dream
Arms outstretched grasp for me over a distance, but can I reach?
Across these vast and endless seas we still survived through everything
Why aren't we speechless of this grace that sustains us
Oh great God, give us rest and lead us in
Oh great God, give us rest and lead us in
Oh God, give us peace
We surrender everything
And this is where the ocean meets the sky
We're going home
