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 wad 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 daybread? 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 life
    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 how 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
    but how 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 had 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
    wtill 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

    ou, 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 qurater for all i said i would
    and i was left poor, poor, poor
    of 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 qurater for all i said i would
    and i was left poor, poor, poor
    of 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 saves 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
    hish up now, hear us now
    sit and store
    hush up now, hear us now
    was it fair?

    and this is how
    i'll let it go
    Savior saves 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 drown
    in the winter swon
    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 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 ion 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?
    ar have you never been so sickly?
    are you stupid?
    or have you never been so funny?

    will, i don't know, byt 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?

    will, i don't know, byt i think i'm gonna
    scream
    well, i don't know, but i think i'm going
    crazy
    will, i don't know, byt i think i'm
    on my knees
    will, i don't know, byt i think i
    gotta pray
















COME TO ME
