sometimes we fall down and we don't get back up
but every happiness starts with a sorrow
every joyous time, a tear
but these hardships lead to bigger things
closing your eyes or turning your back on the world is not the answer
growing and learning from these hardships is the only way to find yourself and what your purpose is
these sins, these weaknesses
they hollow you out in knowing that you are not who you could be
that is when we as people, as human beings, as sons, and as daughters look to our Father to pick up the pieces

Nine to Five

i don't want to do this anymore
this isn't life, this isn't freedom
i wake everyday only to feel more asleep than ever
i need a way out because i'm being buried alive
one for society, two for the expectations
so come and set me free
so come and set me free
cuz i need somebody's help to cut these chains off me
to cut these chains off me
what would you have me do
kneel down and take the trash thrown my way
no, the nine to five wasn't meant for me
so you take yours and i'll take mine
three for the statuses, four for the labels
this isn't me, this isn't me
because you don't know who i am
because you don't know who i see
the flaws in this world are too much
the binding keeping it together are coming out
someone's pulling them out
one by one, they're pulling them out
this is self destruction
it's falling apart
we're falling apart
five for the struggles, six for what's holding me back
cuz i can't do this anymore
this world is weighing on me
this world is weighing on me
what would you have me do
kneel down and take the trash thrown my way
no, the nine to five wasn't meant for me
so you take yours and i'll take mine
three for the statuses, four for the labels
this isn't me, this isn't me
because you don't know who i am
because you don't know who i see
i will stay strong
because i will bend but not break
oh god, you set me free
you take yours and i'll take mine
just look at me, no chains and set free

To Deeper Depths

this darkness will be my downfall
it's overcoming every part of me
could this be the end of everything i am
not just as a person but as a son who walks with his father
what will he think of me now that he's seen me in all of my failure
(lord, i'm not worthy)
will he ever forgive me for this darkness that i have bestowed
although i do not hope to turn again
it's in the empty feeling i get when the sum isn't sufficiency
it's in the empty hallways full of people that make me alone
it's in the broken phrases i try to speak when i cannot find the words
it's in the empty thoughts i think when i'm alone
should i be scared

Foreign Shores

this is it
in the moment we felt alive
we felt alive, but now we're breaking
we're falling apart
it's falling apart
father, can you fix this
my knees are weak
my blood is thin
is there enough room on your back for my scars and my sins
is there grace enough
i thought what i needed was so small
but i can't even keep a grip on that faith
it's drifting into the sea
the tide is coming faster into this house
we're drifting out to sea
we will swim on foreign shores
we can't hear your voice
we will hold on harder
we can't see your face
we will swim
we will hold on harder
i can't stand up on my own
but it's not the end
i never felt this way as a child
no, we're not the same
father, can you fix this

Hollow Man

i close my eyes
choke out the light
i can't resist
this temptation
just one more time
please one more time
this is it
i warned you and told you
if you go back to that place
you won't return
no, you are wrong
what do you know
this is my life
let me live it
i will be back, i will
i promise
just watch and see
here i go
this is it
you just need that faith like a seed
oh no, what have i done
he was right, my time has come
what is this i see
it's me, flashing before my eyes
before i die
what is this i feel
this burning then numbing
it hurts so much
oh no, this is it
i can feel it coming
my vision is blurry
my eyes are veiled
i can see the light
so blinding and bright
finally, i see something
a face so pale
my blood freezes at the sight
his eyes meet mine
he whispers my name
body, heart, mind and soul
i scream
this is the way the world ends
not with a bang but with a whimper

i thought i was a canvas for the whole world to paint upon
but im merely just a color that fits so wrong
i thought i was a chorus for the whole world to sing along
but im simply just a discord in humanity's song
these brand new eyes
and hands to serve
feet to walk in his footsteps
these broken bones, made brand new
born again, i am yours
i thought i was a poem for the whole world to read on
but im only just a fragment passed by and looked down on
i thought i was the king for the whole world to praise
but im only just a failure looking into my grave
these brand new eyes
and hands to serve
feet to walk in his footsteps
these broken bones, made brand new
born again, i am yours
when everything falls apart
pick up the pieces
these sins, these weaknesses
they hollow you out in knowing that you are not who you could be
and that is when we as people, as human beings, as sons, and as daughters look to our Father to pick up the pieces
when everything falls apart
pick up the pieces
