Currently working on..."ALONE"Alone!  Are you feeling low?Alone.  Are you all alone?I went to school with fourteen hundred kids today.I know most all of them, and they all know my name.????????????Alone.  Alone.I never spend my time alone. My time is occupied by friends I know. We'll go to parties, watch the show. We get along, where ever we get blown.Alone.  Alone.Don't know....??????????????Sometimes I feel like I'm a clone.That's all I have ever known.I feel that no one really cares,and there's no one really there.Is it all just routine, for a person in his teens.How long must I survive, 'til I can share my life.I never thought I'd be alone.?????

My Last Ride
In An Ancient Time
Can't Undo
Burial
In An Ancient Time
(Flood - Ripped Into Exile)

Take me to the temple
Will you take me to your kingShow me all the treasuresThe ancient book we’ve never seen
In an ancient timeWaiting for a signWe read the storyThen saw your gloryIn an ancient timeAnd all those years gone bySome kept believingYet never seeing
Take me to the palaceAnd send a summons to the kingWe must listen to the prophetThis message changes everything
Day after day and night after nightThe prophets are warningNot to turn from the lightHere comes Josiah, can a boy king ariseTo rescue his peopleAt this very critical time
In an ancient timeAnd waiting for a signWe read the storyThen saw your gloryIn an ancient timeAnd all those years gone bySome kept believingThey had faith without seeing.

Can't Undo
((Flood - Ripped Into Exile)

Feels like I’m out on the sea all alone
Looking for an island that I can call my ownSeems like I’m so far away,
feels like I’m fading away
Feels like I’m trapped on a big spinning globeLooking for a reason that I should still hang onSeems like I’m so far away,
feels like I’m fading away

I will always stand by youI’ll be the one that’s telling youYou don’t need to follow the worldI will always stand by you,
I’ll be the one who is telling you
there is only, only one of you

You can’t undo what you do if you dowhat you wanna doThe pain is just passed on to the onesthat you leave behindYou can’t undo what you do if you dowhat you wanna do
and don’t believe the lie
you’ll come back as a butterfly
You, you can weather the stormYou, turn around go the other wayI’m drowning out the voicesI’m drowning out the voicesHelp me, I’m drowning out the voicesI am drowning out the voices in my mind
I thought it was a dream,
so I could not believe my eyes
I see an angel standing here,
telling me I’ll make it!

You...can make it out alive, you...can see throughall the lies, you...have the strength and the mightYou...I know that you’ll be alrightI’m drowning out the voicesI’m drowning out the voicesHelp me!Get out, get out, get out, get out, out of my head. 
Burial
(Flood - Ripped Into Exile)

The dark of night is falling
The sting of death is callingTomorrow I have no promiseMy time today is borrowed
I used to be so stubbornMy life seemed so immortalOh, James he gave us a warningYou are not your own master!
TimeSpace and timeI am somewhere in spaceAnd I don’t know where I amTimeI’m caught in space and timeI am traveling through spaceAnd I don’t knowWhat I don’t know
I don’t know where to goIs this a burial?Or do I need to trust God’s in control?
The dark of night is fallingThe sting of death is callingTomorrow I have no promiseMy time today is borrowed
TimeSpace and timeI am somewhere in spaceAnd I don’t know where I amTimeI’m caught in space and timeI am traveling through spaceAnd I don’t knowWhat I don’t know.
Polarized
(Flood - Polarized)

My eyes they are mine
A gateway to my mind.
So how am I walking when I'm blind?
'Cause I can see only what I find.

Standing here in the pouring rain
takes me back to the days of pain.
Looking at myself I see
I'm polarized
So I should change

My heart is in decline
Failing a great design
I've wasted so much time
Holding back on reaching those outside

Standing here in the pouring rain
takes me back to the days of pain.
Looking at myself I see
I'm polarized
So I should...

Everything I hear
and all the things I see
is distorting all my views,
it's destroying me
And I can hardly hear You
and I can bearly see You
It's distoring all my views,
it's destroying me

I was so blind,
you've got to love your brother,
you gotta think of others
I was so blind,
you've gotta walk a mile,
you need to make the time
I was so blind,
you need an open mind
a fully opened mind
I was so blind,
you gotta look inside
I gotta look inside

I'm suffering from narrow mind
Prognosis I still have time
Listening to all sides
So I can separate the truth from all the lies

Standing here...
Standing here in the pouring rain
takes me back to the days of pain.
Looking at myself I see
I'm polarized
So I should change.

My Last Ride
(Flood - Polarized)

We were close
When I was young you held meWe were close'Cause I was cute, you loved me
We were close
And all this time you needed me
So closeYou had all the time in the world for me
You can't hear me,You can't see me now.You can't hear me,You don't even want me aroundnow.
We were closeand somehow I could read your mindWe were closewe would eat and sleep at the same timeWe were closeyou just had to take me everywhereand when you spoke I was the only one who seemed to care
You can't hear me,
You can't see me now.You can't hear me,You don't even want me aroundnow.

I was man's best friend
I was man's best friendThat's what you told meI was your best friendThose were words you saidYet you dropped me off todayand left me in this cage
What did you think was going to happen to me?What did you think was going to happen to me?
How could you leave me here with nothing to say?
What did they tell you as they led me away?

You can't hear me,
You can't see me now.If they don't kill me
I will die of a broken heart
They're on their way.Oh, It's too late.  It's too late now.It's too late.  It's too late.
Middle Of The Mind
(Echo Hollow - Superficial Intelligence)

In the middle of the moment
Buried deep within my mindI can feel the Spirit movingAnd then I know everything's alright
In the city, You walked along
the common man
In the garden, You sweat great
drop of blood cause You are man
In the desert, You showed me
how to battle for my flesh
On the hillside, You let them
crucify You to let them see

I wanna know why
You move me inside
I wanna know why
You chose to contact me

In my bedroom,
I feel the Sprit move around
In the classroom,
You know what's going on
Where they hate You,
they cannot hide a single thing
In 3 Dimension,
Your Presence rests in every single cell

I wanna feel
like You're moving inside
I wanna feel
when You're crashing down on me
I wanna feel
like You're with me every day
I wanna feel
like I know You, Like I know You 
Sad
(Echo Hollow - Diet Of Worms)

When I’m alone in my car I keep falling apart,
My troubles start to kick in; my wounds are bleeding again,Things no one would know, but in my car they explode,Consumed by my memory, sometimes my worst enemy.
I’m wounded, withdrawn,Worried, the unknown,Discouraged, used,
(can you take the pain away?)
Depression, alone.
(can you take my pain away?)

I’m sad, I’m feeling like I never have,Can you help me?I’m sad, I’m feeling so bad,Can you help me?
I feel at home in this bar; my second home is this bar,The casual drinking is gone, and now I just pour it on.
Empty and numb, Erosion, bitterness,Mistreated and hurt, (can you take the pain away?)I’m weary with the tears. (can you take my pain away?)I’m sad, I’m feeling like I never have,Can you help me?I’m sad, I’m failing so bad,Can you help me?
Have you ever had one of those dreams that seems to go on and on, and on and on?Well, last night I dreamed that Jesus walked right into this bar, and looked in my eyes and said…
Rejected, betrayed,
hated and afraid,
I suffered, crucified,
degraded, and I died.

I’m sad, I’m feeling like I never have,Can you help me?I’m sad, I’m feeling so bad,Can you help me?I’m sad, I’m feeling like I never have,Can you help me?I’m sad, I’m feeling so bad,Can you help me? Can you help me?
Take My Shoes
(Echo Hollow - Diet Of Worms)

You don’t know where I’ve been,
You don’t know where I’ve been,You don’t know where I’ve been,You don’t know where I’ve been,You don’t know where I’ve been.
Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes and walk a mile,Take my shoes and walk a mile,Take my shoes and walk a mile,
in my shoes if you wanna know
where I’ve gone.

Do you know where I’ve been?You don’t know where I’ve been,Do you know where I’ve been?You don’t care where I’ve been.
You don’t know,You don’t know.
You don’t know if I’m lonely,You don’t know if I’m sad,You don’t know if I’m hungry,You don’t know if I’m mad.
You don’t know, you don’t ask,You don’t know, you don’t ask.
So take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,Take my shoes, take my shoes,
Theodicy On Trial(Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Disonance)

Satan called upon the Lord
"I must perform a testTo prove that fath in GodIs contingent on being blessed"
One of the richest men of the second millenniumJob was stripped of all his wealthThree daughters and seven sonsHe tore his robeAnd shaved his headFell to the ground, worshipped God and said:
I was neked when I came hereI'll be naked when I leave hereThe Lord gave itSo He can take itAll away
Satan called upon the Lord"Give me one more testGrant that I may strike his fleshAnd at you he'll shake his fist"
From head to toe black boilsWere pregnant on his skinHis breath was super roachedStomach caving inDetested and forsaken by family and friendsHis wife said, "Curse your GodAnd let yourself be dead!"
I didn't ask you
If I could come hereSo I cannot ask theCondition that I leave hereI don't rememberPlanning my existenceBut why have you forsaken me?
Rewarded for his faithfulnessJob was give back his wealthTwice the riches as beforeThen God gave His discourse:
Where were you when ILaid the foundationsDug the oceansAnd set its limits?Were you around when IPlotted constellations?Answer me!
He who puts the Lord on trialPuts himself on the stand
Exoskeletons
Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Disonance)

Waiting in fear
My stepfather's preyMother's mistakeNow I'm blackmailed not to say
Try to explainTo a starving childThe check's in the mailBut it hasn't arrivedWe've got money for weaponsAnd appeals to crimesShadrack of KenyaMay never reach five
Look around and I will show you nowA world that needs a way outLook around and I will show you howA man can gain understanding
Can you tell that it's me?Chemo has arrivedLike a drive-by shootingBoth the good and bad cells die
The funeral's delayedUntil the newlyweds arriveThey pull him from the carThat she followed behindState of panic reasoningInterrupts while she criesSummons the priestCan you fit two inside?
Time has no respect for man
Rain falls on the good and badThough we may not understandWe can choose to watch or extend our hands
Look around and I will show you nowA world that needs a way outLook around and then look at yourselfBecause you can help them out 
A Dog's Breakfast
(Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery)

Broken Chromosomes
(Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery)

I want to take my life today
I don't belong here anywayMy God if you can hear me nowSee if Your hand can reach this far
You stopped playing fatherAs soon as mom conceivedThe only time we touchedWas just before I screamed
The gift that keeps on givingYour father gives to meHistory repeats itselfNow history meets me
So what if I'm retardedMentally delayedI'm sorry for annoying youBut I was born this way
You speak so much betterGot an aerodynamic faceMega babes and tons of friendsSo why show so much hate
Vultures are circling againMy open wounds are food for themOh God if you will reach your handYou can deliver me from man You hurt meYou walked on meYou walked on meI wasn't hurting anybody, was IYou only hurt me cause he hurt youYou hurt me, yeahI was already downAnd you kicked meThen you left me
But I'll get up, I'll get up, I'll get upWatch me get upMen fail me...
But the Son of God saves

When I'm face downAnd I'm scared and lonelyYou are by my side
I'm talkin' face on the groundMy back is painted with footprintsYou're the only oneThat hears me cryI seek I find just one nameBy which a man can be savedAnd He comes beforeMy tears can dry
Now I'm not aloneNo I'm not aloneAnd I'm free now causeI've got no pain to pass on
I can hear you now
Ready Or Not(Tourniquet - Stop The Bleeding)

A step in the wrong direction
Is one more step closer to hellAvoiding the vital confessionYou're under the enemies spellJust as a dog will return to his vomitSome have returned to their wicked old waysNot even knowing that God becomes jealousHearts will stop beatingWhen people hear Him say...
Ready or not here I come!
For heaven's sake what are we doing?Most of us don't even know'He's coming back' isn't foreverSo, get ready if you wanna goA.S.A.P. say goodbye to the devilSelfishness, ego, and greedSoon you will see this is no laughing matterFreedom will endWhen the great I Am says...

Ready or not here I come!

What on earth could you possibly be thinking?No one has the guts to let you knowIt's about time you put away your fingerCuz the church is not our model of perfectionJust as a dog will return to his vomitSome have returned to their wicked old waysNot even knowing your heart has been hardenedYour tears will be bleedingYou wake up and your friends are gone
Ready or not here I come!
