COMPLAIN
did you see my hands were tied?
i pierced this Savior's side
well, what have i done?
(what have we become?)
and more words to run it thru
to crush anything in You
and to trip it up
it's simple though i'm tired
been unmoved, uninspired
did you see my eyes were blind?
to even know what I had to find
much less count the cost
(or count me for lost)
insane for another day
so all is all right, okay
i trip it up
it's easy though i'm mad
weathered so and sad...
to see the lies in me
and why (i never try)
but i'll stand (displeased) so cheap
did you see my mouth was closed?
of the priceless fill i know
not a word to say
(i spoke anyway)
well, i cried for an inside
an inside to realize
oh, how tripped up
it's different though, i'm strange
i'll never, never change...
to see the lies in me
and why (i never try)
but i'll stand (displeased) so cheap
did you see my head was dead?
to any right or good that's said
would i bow?
(could you learn it now?)
sick for a little hope
hope that's a choke and joke
Christ - trip me up
i really see i'm free
when You carry me...
to see the lies i believe
and why (i'd ever try)
and i can pray (so deep) received

BONES ARE BREAKING
is it daybreak? i'm sure
and you're feeling weary
there is so much, i know
it's just got to end soon
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
are you worn out? i'm sure
not happy nearly
too far in such to know
you just have to break soon
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
so i
give all
to you
my God
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
hands are shaking
with everything
well, i can't hold this weight
upon my shoulders anymore
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking
my bones are breaking

MY WORLD FALLS DOWN
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
but how i won't shut up
i stay(though my pain it swells)
i wait (as if all is well)
i faint (cause i've choked to tell)
i've got my sin and i've got my lie
am i on my face? got to know who am i
i'm a stupid man and my eyes are dry
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
but now i won't shut up
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
i stay(though how dumb i be)
i wait(as He waits for me)
i faint(cause it's so heavy)
will i lift my hands and die inside?
i suffocate when i hold my life
will we throw this out? ya, i need Christ
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
insane. what say me?
my God, get me free
oh, how my world falls down
and how i sink at the sound
and still i won't shut up

SLOW
green i've seen
as jealous as anything
blue it's true
weep to sleep over you
i feel - and i kill
the sea in me
toss me up, around indeed
i will - be still
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
red i'm dead
"grief has got me" so i've said
clear to hear
however gone i could be near
i will - be filled
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
(grab me
that i might be awake)
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
(slow me
as i am running way to fast)
the wind in sin
on my hands instead again
instill - Your will
it's all chasing, racing
often crazy
does it show?
(grab me
that i might be awake)
but i've been praying lately
and Christ will slow me, free
i know
(slow me
as i am running way to fast)

I AM NO GOOD
so it seized me
so it grieves me
grabs me everyday
will it bleed thru?
does it burn you?
got to take us ever low
take, us, take us ever low
no, other, no other chance i know
am i thinking?
am i drinking?
wrapped in me today
so you're scheming
Still you're dreaming
all you have and plan you fail
all, you, all you have you fail
i, put, i put my life up for sale
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
leave it all down
i give all now
full of earth, i agree
does it create?
like a headache?
got you on your hands and knees
on, your, on your hands and knees
now, i, now i fall in need
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
(i am no good)
cause i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no good
now, i, now i fall indeed

THOUGHTLESS
in my money, i was at home
to the beggar, i was so cold
in my pockets, all that i could hold
as i left here, this was all i was told...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
as a thinker, i was so loud
in my wisdom, i was profound
as i left here, this was the sound...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
oh my Lord
by my own way, i felt very near
when it shook me, this was all
i could hear...

HOPE FOR ALWAYS
when 'all is mine' is over
would You have the time, my friend
to push me up and over
hold me till the glory end and
when my pain is sober
would You have the mind to send
hope for always ever
hold me - this wicked man and
me, with pain and all
might take the fall
yet grow so tall
and creeping like a wonder
is the fear that drives me mad
"that all is going under,
all is always ever sad" and
throwing winter summer
and breezing me to my greed
but give me hope for always
'all' is falling on my knees and
You, with love and truth
will make us new
and will hold us thru
the sins of the world wouldn't hold You
though it seems each day i try
please, bless me with hope for always
that i might live, might die and
me, with pain and all
might take the fall
yet grow so tall
You, with love and truth
will make us new
and will hold us thru

WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU
hey you got a little something to say
i know you think it wrong
and you're gonna make the world okay
make us strong
where did you go?
want your right? rise up today
you, one and all
and the soul not so much to pay
feeling tall
where did you go?
where were all of you?
a man can die
a child can cry
or One crucified
for you and i
a child can die
a Man can cry
and nailed on high
to give us life
where's the rights?
where's the rights?
oh, where's the rights?
have to push 'no choice' away
ya, make it small
"have to do all what we may"
you can't fall?
where did you go?
where did you go?

BLISS IS
raised to be rich
trip or be tripped
give to get, live to get
throw a fit
give to get, live to get
what is it?
you're gonna have to wait
my family can't relate
on the floor, out the door
clean the slate
on the floor, out the door
in this hate
and this is how
i'll let it go
Savior save me
from what i know
(oh, what do i know?)
pushed ahead in this
society angry bliss
disregard life is hard
give a kiss
disregard life is hard
cut my wrist
did i never care?
silence at the dinner chair
hush up now, hear us now
sit and stare
hush up now, hear us now
was it fair?
and this is how
i'll let it go
Savior save me
from what i know
(save me from what i know)

CANNON-FIRE ORANGE
sailing away
towards uncertainties
uncertain seas
change today
traveled to that land
took it all second hand
i fought for cover
then i ran, ran, ran
found a love colored me whole
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange
does the flower grow
in the winter snow
or go away
never again to show
can it be found
below the frail ground
when we look away
is it around
for now i see what needs to be
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange
i'm counting the days
to discover the ways
how the fire turns cold
like i've been told
the flame burns the tree
i don't know what to be
'someone' holding the match
'someone' is me
so i cannot stand
without the help of His hand
no more cannon-fire orange,
cannon-fire orange, cannon-fire orange

RING TRUE
what is this?
thru strange and bad
it does not touch this joy i have
what is this?
thru future, past
and now or then only love will last
oh, these words ring true to me
love the Maker
crown the King
who gives us all and makes me sing
count my blessings
on my knees
so thankful for all everything
oh, these words ring true to me
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll se
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
this is real
and this is good
to trust in truth now as i should
give the glory
give the pain
and let the fall build me again
oh, these words ring true to me
oh, these words ring true to me
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll see
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
who gives us all
(who gives us all)
and makes me sing
so thankful for
(so thankful for) all everything
my strength is dead
i hope instead
in what will be
in what we'll see
my strength is dead
i hope instead
on every word He's said
who gives us all
(who gives us all)
and makes me sing
so thankful for
(so thankful for) all everything

SICKLY
is it sunny?
or is it raining out today?
is it calm outside?
or is the wind all on your face?
did the storm subside?
did it leave without a trace?
are you well?
or have you never been so sickly?
are you stupid?
or have you never been so funny?
will, i don't know, but i think i'm gonna
scream
well, i don't know, but i think i'm going
crazy
are you empty?
or are you all up full of money?
is your head clear?
or is it busy, falling, snowing?
are you sad?
or have you never been so happy?
well, i don't know, but i think i'm gonna
scream
well, i don't know, but i think i'm going
crazy
well, i don't know, but i think i'm
on my knees
well, i don't know, but i think i
gotta pray

COME TO ME
