Embers and Ashes 03:51
lyrics
buy track
So cold, it’s numbing me Addicted, ashamed that you can see I don’t understand why I feel this way Keep me from going blind today Open my eyes despite the pain Embers start to fade The ashes of sorrow still remain Kindle the furnace deep inside If you are the fire in my life Then burn me alive So wrong, and wanting more Wasted, a mess I can’t ignore I need an escape from the darkness of hell And bridges burn brighter than anything else You breathed your last to fan the flame Embers start to fade The ashes of sorrow still remain Kindle the furnace deep inside If you are the fire in my life Then burn me alive There’s no one but myself to blame I’m dying just to know your name Embers start to fade The ashes of sorrow still remain Kindle the furnace deep inside If you are the fire in my life Then burn me alive

Ischemia 04:37
lyrics

You’re so beautiful Could I ever be You’re unmistakable Right in front me You’re so wonderful I could never be You’re so powerful Bring me to my knees With this hole in my heart With this tear in my soul Will the rest of me unfold? Have I fallen too far to be held by you again? I’ve seen the truth And it’s tearing me apart I’m broken without you, I’m lost and about to Find all I need in you I’ve gone numb with desperation Break the stone beating in my chest With this hole in my heart With this tear in my soul Will the rest of me unfold? Have I fallen too far to be held by you again? I’ve seen the truth And it’s tearing me apart I’m broken without you, I’m lost and about to Find all I need in you

If I try to run, break my feet You were always waiting I was never there I am ever fading You’re always here One last time Sing to me Remember when Those words awakened something deep Voices try To deafen me But I still hear You’re still small voice is whispering When I close my eyes, you’re all I see When I’m suffocating You are the air As you hang there, bleeding You draw me near One last time Sing to me Remember when Those words awakened something deep Voices try To deafen me But I still hear You’re still small voice is whispering Wait, stop, just for a moment Hold onto what might be my last Chance to say what I need to Say now, before it’s far too late One last time Sing to me Remember when Those words awakened something deep Voices try To deafen me But I still hear You’re still small voice is whispering

Poem 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I looked into your window Why is yesterday still running down your face? Why are you still holding onto Promises you’ve asked me to erase? Make my eyes to see How your glory fills the skies Make my life a poem For your eyes Because you’re mine… I couldn’t help but notice All the faith you put in things that never last Tomorrow seems much darker when you’re Focused on the failure in your past Make my eyes to see How your glory fills the skies Make my life a poem For your eyes Because you’re mine…

Could It Be 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Heartbeats echo in the streets Footsteps quietly retreat ‘Cause everyone hates and nobody cares To open their eyes and meet you here We’re so comfortable in our own skin Broken, a family torn apart Bleeding, cutting in the dark ‘Cause everyone laughs at the tears in her eyes She can’t quite explain but she’s dying inside She’s so vulnerable, and nobody knows Someone should tell her How much you love her Should it be me? Could it be me? It couldn’t be… Falling for every lie they tell Wishing she was someone else ‘Cause everyone says what she wants to hear And she’ll never know how to love without fear She’s so vulnerable, and everyone knows Someone should tell her How much you love her Should it be me? Could it be me? It couldn’t be… Someone should tell her How much you love her Should it be me? Could it be me? It’s gotta be… I’m gonna tell her How much you love her I’m gonna show you How much I love you

This Could Have Been a Tragedy 03:40
lyrics

Cain and Abel - this is who I am today Malice-minded, proud and blinded to your face My sin, my greed, your tragedy It’s killing me Can you open up my eyes To see your love is real Only you can satisfy My desire to heal High and mighty, here I stand to fall alone Make me see that I can’t do this on my own Your life, your death, my liberty Make me believe Can you open up my eyes To see your love is real Only you can satisfy My desire to heal

Take a Breath 04:26

I must’ve thought that I could hide this forever Keep it somewhere you would never see Who was I kidding? The fool was always me I didn’t want to face another problem I took a hit and now I’m at rock bottom here I don’t mean to be unrealistic But I don’t wanna be another statistic I’ve wasted so much time You’re breaking my heart, it’s a beautiful start When I take a breath and fall in love with you You’re making me see what you mean to me I couldn’t live another day without you This is something I can’t handle on my own I need an intervention Spinning out of control So many times I wish I’d never started So in love with the poison in my veins Something has got to give ‘Cause I can never seem to give this up And you’ll never let me go You’re breaking my heart, it’s a beautiful start When I take a breath and fall in love with you You’re making me see what you mean to me I’ve become so numb, undone, will you rescue me? I’ve become so numb, undone, can you save me? You’re breaking my heart, it’s a beautiful start When I take a breath and fall in love with you You’re making me see what you mean to me

You see through me Breaking my heart Hold together The pieces that fall away From death I fell Losing myself Hold together Don’t let me fall away Breathe in me The breath of life Resurrect my soul And open my eyes Your love runs so far I just fall apart Hold me together Don’t let me fade away From you I fell Losing myself Hold me together Don’t let me fade away Breathe in me The breath of life Resurrect my soul And open my eyes

I just got the news today You might want to find yourself a seat ‘Cause what I’m about to say Is going to change everything You’re gonna have to let me go ‘Cause I won’t be here for long Just remember me for when I say Live as if today could be your last Love because life goes by way too fast Hold onto everyone you can Try to live your life like Him Something’s changed in me I know there can’t be much time left Strength is fading away Hold my hand while I lose the rest You’re gonna have to let me go Because this place is not my home Just remember me for when I say Live as if today could be your last Love because life goes by way too fast Hold onto everyone you can Try to live your life like Him Don’t worry about me ‘Cause heaven’s where I’ll be Live as if today could be your last Love because life goes by way too fast Hold onto everyone you can Try to live your life like Him

Not One Second More 03:55
lyrics

I tried burning my heart strings To feel alive Life’s got nothing left to offer Other than knowing I’m living to die Something inside me is about to give Somebody give me a reason, a reason to live I’m not giving this one single second more (than I’ve already wasted) I’ve buried myself (in what you died for) I found out I could be worth so much more (than I ever believed) Jesus, your love can’t be ignored So lovely in whitewash A sight to see I’ve wasted potential Hiding the filth down underneath Something inside me is about to give Jesus is the only reason, my reason to live I’m not giving this one single second more (than I’ve already wasted) I’ve buried myself (in what you died for) I found out I could be worth so much more (than I ever believed) Jesus, your love can’t be ignored Stop hesitating, the wandering, the hating Fall in repentant surrender to let your love kill me I’m not giving this one single second more (than I’ve already wasted) I’ve buried myself (in what you died for) I found out I could be worth so much more (than I ever believed) Jesus, your love can’t be ignored
