Torn Away

As I crawl through this place, such a desperate plea
I have made my mistakes, how they’ve haunted me
No longer than a moments notice, you were torn away.
I’m feeling hopeless. With you on my mind.
With you not in my life, I won’t be satisfied.
Since heaven’s gates are open wide
Go take your place. I’ll join your side
The way you’ve gone has been my loaded gun
Who am I to fire
You reached out with your best, we only had our youth
You have given me rest, the simple truth
No longer than a moments notice, you were torn away.
I’m feeling hopeless.
With you not in my life, I won’t be satisfied.
Since heaven’s gates are open wide
Go take your place. I’ll join your side
The way you’ve gone has been my loaded gun
Who am I to fire
I’m still searching, traverse the seas
I’m still living, finishing our dreams
Our love was strange, unbroken chains
I knew you well
No longer than a moments notice, you were torn away.
I’m feeling hopeless. With you on my mind.
With you not in my life, I won’t be satisfied.
Since heaven’s gates are open wide
Go take your place. I’ll join your side
The way you’ve gone has been my loaded gun
Who am I to fire

Burden

I'm bleeding from my lungs to never let you go
There's no one else with will that's like a throne
When you shut the door, you close it on yourself
Never crumble walls that make our home
You said you're gonna fight
Hold on and don’t you fall tonight
And if you’re gonna try
The burden lies within your eyes
Don't cross the line
Don’t cross the line
Will you let me in or hold it in your mind
That bitterness will grow gardens of stone
Forgiveness breathes new life throwing you this rope
Building broken pieces with new hope
You said you're gonna fight
Hold on and don’t you fall tonight
And if you’re gonna try
The burden lies within your eyes
Don't cross the line
Don’t cross the line
Hope will come to find a way
You’ll make it through another day
You've become my safe haven
Take my hand, I’ll hold you close
You’re a star, go make the most
You’ve become my safe haven
You said you’re gonna fight.
Hold on and don’t give in tonight!
You said you're gonna fight
Hold on and don’t you fall tonight
And if you’re gonna try
The burden lies within your eyes
Don't cross the line

Quarry

With each moment passing, I’m becoming a lie
With each moment I try
I’ve been traveling so far
You see the bright lights, they still control me
Every time I run I stumble, not sure today
Progress I see
Progress I need
You dig a quarry inside of your glass house
You call the kettle black after you black out
How much more can I take before I go to war
I’m not your anchor anymore
You’ve become the victim with the flip of a switch
You’ve become the martyr
I have built a bridge that you keep crushing on me
The bright lights you hand out control me
Every time I run I stumble, not sure today
Progress I see
Progress I need
You dig a quarry inside of your glass house
You call the kettle black after you black out
How much more can I take before I go to war
I’m not your anchor anymore
You asked for answers, then you’re pounding my head to the floor
Why can’t you understand, that doesn’t make you the man
You watched me open my veins, I watched you blame it on me
If there’s one mirror left, why don’t you turn it and see
You dig a quarry inside of your glass house
You call the kettle black after you black out
How much more can I take before I go to war
I’m not your anchor anymore

The Awakening
03:46

I saw you on the curb still losing. The battle rages on inside
There’s nothing left to prove, it’s never ending strife.
Adrenaline is what keeps you alive
You see me now. I’m standing here
You see me now, there’s no more fear
I am the reckoning
I stand here bruised and broken
I am the awakening
No longer dead, I am alive
I found you on the floor hardly breathing
You found solace in your veins again
This self-destruction breeds. It’s time that you believe
Get up, let go and be alive
You see me now. I’m standing here
You see me now, there’s no more fear
I am the reckoning
I stand here bruised and broken
I am the awakening
No longer dead, I am alive
I won’t be afraid.
I’ll overcome this ugly place.
I’m going to choose life. Because I am alive
I am the reckoning
I stand here bruised and broken
I am the awakening
No longer dead. I am alive
I am the reckoning. I am the reckoning

Left For Dead

Would you care if I lost it all
Would you care or just watch me fall
You tell me love but you show me lies
You sell me promise but you make me blind
As I crawl out of this hole called love
As I stand up it’s becoming clear
I can finally see what you took from me
I can finally breathe it’s time to believe
I’m going to make it through tonight; I will try
I’m going to break myself free from this hold on me
(Watch your back)
Break myself free from the agony
(Watch your back)
How long will I keep running away
How long will time keep slipping away
You left me hanging on a thread
You left me just as good as dead
How long will I fade away
Just as good as dead (fade away)
We’ve been here before and you left me behind
I’m done hurting myself for you
I’m stronger without you the line is drawn in the sand
I’m stronger today, it’s who I am who I am
(Who I am, I know who I am)
How long will I keep running away
How long will time keep slipping away
You left me hanging on a thread
You left me just as good as dead
How long will I fade away
Just as good as dead (fade away)
