Too Far
Hey I've gone too far
I cant live this down
Please turn back time
Please, God
This is all I have
I have nothing left
Please turn back time
Please, God
Hey
With my empty being
Set me at your feet
Please turn back time
Please, God
Hey, whats going on?
I feel the darkness taking me
I feel your light escaping me

Lyrics:
That Sinking Feeling
Birds shout out a warning.
To the trees they fly away
into a light that shines as far as the heavens.
Thunder and lightning
break the clouds that turn from grey
into a white I cant describe.
We're starting to think
we must have missed something somewhere.
In this world of broken wings,
we planted our feet in the sand and fell asleep.
In this world...
I see people pass by.
In their eyes I see their children
with wide eyes that cant discern the truth from a lie.
And as they look back into mine
I realize theyre seeing the same tell tale sign.
In this world of broken wings,
We've planted our feet.
In this world thats fallen asleep.
We never knew much of anything.
(When all was said and done, we were the fools.)
We never knew much of anything.
(And all is said and done.)
In this world of broken wings,
We've planted our feet.
In this world thats fallen...

Lyrics:
Stop the clock and start from the beginning.
Take it step by step...
Tell me when we started this masquerade:
When no one else was looking...
Everyone was walking around,
and they're all hiding it too.
How about you?
"I was too scared to speak,
too scared to let myself fall naked under
the scope of my humanity,
weighted against my maturity." (Genesis 3:8-10)
If only we would let Him be
-everything He came to be!
Take a breath and gaze at the secondhand,
how you spend each moment...
Think of all you think and say and do,
and what's expected of you! (Philippians 4:8)
Are you simply walking around,
absorbing sights and sounds that aren't best for you?
Are we too proud to lament,
too proud to give ourselves completely to the
Man Who Is Who He CLAIMED to be? (John 14:6)
I know this next step starts with me:
I know I've got to let Him be
-everything He came to be!

Step close and find who you really are
Your future depends on now.
Kill your fashion.

Honestly is this how you planned this out
You're so high on desperation now
I've been betting this would happen since July
Ten bucks says you won't be alright
So here's your medicine
To cure the clever sickness you made up
To conquer everything you said
And when the clock runs out
Will you be spending more time by yourself
To conquer everything you said
I've been here before
A dollar bill says you can't name the spot
Where I lay my head at night
So here's your medicine
To cure the clever sickness you made up
To conquer everything you said
And when the clock runs out
Will you be spending more time by yourself
To conquer everything you said
Believe me, this isn't the end

Words fail me, what can I even say to You
You took the nails for me, though what I have put You through
You listen to me, when only silence fills my mind
I come to You and You forgive me again this time
I fall down, my face at Your feet,
You cover me with your love,
I dont deserve all you've given to me
My God, my God
Thoughtless phrases that keep searching for the truth,
Well every answer only brings me back to you.
What can I say thats nothing I havent said before
What will you hear, when I kneel for you my Lord?
I fall down, I fall down

Creator of the world
Take my hand and show me the creases
Formed in your hands from rolling the hills
Let me touch the lips
That spoke the sky into existence
As if it was nothing just keep still
Some may say that Im worshiping nothing
But you sing to me you beautiful nothing
and you died for me, so I will dance for you
Singer of all songs
Tell me of the simple nothingness
The silence of no space, no time, no sound
Tell me how alone
How even you needed me, not at all
Yet wanting something nothing didnt allow
Settle next to me, show me what I cant see
Created by the beauty of your broken hands

Save me from these vultures
Flesh starved eyes

Lyrics:
Countless are the moments
Feeding the science of uncomfortable silence
Mounted are the reasons that nothing was said
We just nod instead
But underneath, sleeping well
Is a voice that wants to tell you everything
Is it love if all I say is have a good and pleasant day?
And let you go
Let you get away
What's the value of intending?
What's it worth?
And leave it all just the same
Frail and afraid that the favor I've gained
Is lost again, forgotten when they point and blame
This is my alibi
It's all a means to a comfortable day
As we bow at the end of each day
Giving thanks for our friends and our families
Have we ever pleaded to God for them?
Cared enough to show it?

I watched you fade. The years, they passed us. You lie burdened in the

burning. Dont look down. I am here.. I am here.

This is what you always wanted
I'm bringing a smile to your face
Every time you use my credit
You give me credit
You never minded the dullness
You should've seen the spark in your eyes
Every time you reached out your hand
You reached out; you reached out your hand
I should've been a vegetable
With a rose in my hand
It should've been impossible
To carry on a conversation
You said there's someone who's shown me
Exactly how you should be
You see we're falling apart now
And I think we're better off
You are so material
And it scares me to think what your future holds
Because the lights turned off
And the pages are still turning for you

Lyrics:
The chains that demand, the captive's hand to not move or take control,
you try to hide what's broken you inside, start breaking down the
doors.
You breathe your last breath, you're suffocating, suffocating, from
this disease, you've been creating, creating
The glass still sharp down in your heart, its sting is growing strong;
you try to hide what's broken you inside start breaking down the walls
You breathe your last breath, you're suffocating, suffocating, from
this disease, you've been creating, creating
You will feel the sadness, when you're far from the Son, you will bathe
in the sadness, when you're miles from home
The chains that begin to break releasing the bars you were once held
behind, God's hand here to take to rescue you from this so called life
You breathe your last breath, you're suffocating, suffocating, from
this disease, you've been creating, creating

Lyrics:
She was the sun in my darkened world.
I let her in and she burned my soul.
Little by little she took my heart.
Before I noticed Id lost control.
I thought that I couldnt live without her.
I gave her the throne and the crown.
She led me down this pit of sorrow, but she didnt follow me down.
I cant say things I want to say; What if she walks away?
If Im quiet then she'll stay. I'll try to get through today.
She says with her my life has meaning.
She says I cant make it on my own.
At times I think that I could leave her,
but being a slaves better than being alone.
What if I cant find love again?
Maybe pains the price I pay.
Maybe I dont deserve happiness.
It hurts more to leave than to stay.
I cant say things I want to say; What if she walks away?
If Im quiet then she'll stay. I'll try to get through today.
I've decided I want my life back.
I was better off without you.
Take this pain away from me.

I have let these things tear us apart.
Secrets I hide, thinking theyll never surface.
Forgetting that you see everything.
How foolish of me.
How could I have allowed this to happen,
After all that you've done for me?
From now on,
I wont let anything come between us anymore.
(From now on,
This separation has lost its hold on me.)
And still no matter what I did that left us separated,
You've already forgiven.
Your love I dont deserve,
I have done nothing to gain this gift.
And still you give it willingly.
First I was blind,
But now I see,
You never stopped loving me.
My eyes are open.

Save your lies for someone else.....
Your running from suspicion
And its never been so obvious
So take all the time you need
I'm always waiting here for you
Should I assume that I'm your victim
Or wait for this conclusion
And you're about cut me open, once again
I found my enemy, standing in your doorway
Did you bring me here, To face your fear!
Cause you claim to be in love,
Designing ways for me to fold
Burning every card I hold
I need you to show me
The Secrets that make us bleed
Cause I won't be left with scars, In the End
Excuses play their part
But you're not getting off this time
You took everything I had
So why am I still here
I tried to leave you, cause I didn't believe you
At all...
And your clever tongue convinces me
That everything is fine, when it's not
Keep your roses hidden close,
And when they wilt than you will know
Your time is gone and so am I
And you'll regret the things you hide
You took your time to bring me here,
And brought me down without a word
And you confess this through your silence,
But I'm not seeing how you work
Bleed out these lies as I drink poison,
Not knowing the consequence
Am I to blame for the disappearance,
of what we thought made sense
And I know now you were never really there to see me through...
We'll die young

They came to Jesus,
Crying and full of fear
Even the closest prophet didnt understand.
Shes only sleeping.
And shes only like my faith.
But this morning,
We wake up together, I pray.
When the peoples wailing,
Turned to laughing, they didnt know
That Jesus saw this situation as an opportunity
And what if we had the faith that could move the mountains?
Maybe the chains would fall off and maybe wed be free.
Shes only sleeping.
And shes only like my faith.
But this morning,
We wake up together, I pray.
Well, shes only like my faith.
Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.

I feel the way I did before.
a soft and gentle game.
you kissed this blood-rushed face goodnight.
back when you felt the rain.
uh-oh.
a flicker in the light tonight.
a shot across the land.
its like a bittersweet design.
I barely understand.
I cant believe in things I'll never find.
I want to change you, break you.
carefully free inside this heart of mine.
come in from the old; this is your tragedy.
I liked love the way it was.
one beat, the timing up above.
the space between the right and wrong.
but, Im not listening.
the politics remain the same.

So could you meet me where Im at
Or have I gone to far away from you
Who Am I? (I dont know...)
Just take your time (I'll be alright)
I watch you as you sleep
Your hand is lying on my broken heart
Could this be destiny
Or am I lying to myself again
Who Am I? (I dont know...)
Just take your time (I'll be alright)
Its ok...is it ok?
Its ok...yeah it''s ok
