Stoplights

Stop lights and street signs warn me,
To turn back before I burn up all of my insides,
But I can't resist the desire,
My heart's like a moth flying into fire.
It's too powerful and takes me so unwillingly
I'm too weak for this, I just want,
To live my life blamelessly
There's nothing more I want than You, God
Can You see that I'm struggling to live my life for you?
Can You see all this pain inside?
Is this part of your plan? Take my life, take me home.
I need a candle in this darkness
To lead me to a safe place where I can rest.
Show me You're with me God
Just show me that You're there,
Show me that You understand.
There's nothing more I want than You, God
Can You see that I'm struggling to live my life for you?
Can You see all this pain inside?
Is this part of your plan? Take my life, take me home.
There's nothing more I need than You, God
And I won't make it without You pulling me through.
Can You see all this pain inside?
Is this part of your plan? Take my life, take me home.

A Thousand Okays

Running never feels right
But it's all I have tonight
To deal with this, and everything gone wrong
To deal with this, it's gone on too long
I could swallow pills
Or vomit away the pain
To deal with this, there's got to be a better way
To deal with this, than just feeding the pain
Running never feels right
But it's all I have tonight
When depression hits my mind
It's my “Okay's” I hide behind
I'm lying to your face
When I tell you I'm okay
To deal with this, I keep everything inside
To deal with this, I run and hide
Running never feels right
But it's all I have tonight
When depression hits my mind
It's my “Okay's” I hide behind
A thousand Okay's is the one this I have left to hide behind
When in reality I'm screaming and burning inside
Running never feels right
But it's all I have tonight
When depression hits my mind
It's my “Okay's” I hide behind

Cannot Say Goodbye

Hear the phone ring, get in the car and we drive
A moment like this, just makes me sick tonight
For 15 hours, we talk and we wonder why,
No I can't take this, it all run circles in my mind
From fathers to fathers, sons to sons,
Life is a torch passed on one by one,
But the rain is falling harder, the fire is burning dry
And I'm trying my best but I cannot say goodbye
From the minute I saw him, the expression on his face I knew
From the way everyone crowded him around the room
I guess this is it, there's nothing left but tears
A memory fading everyday getting more unclear
From fathers to fathers, sons to sons,
Life is a torch passed on one by one,
But the rain is falling harder, the fire is burning dry
And I'm trying my best but I cannot say goodbye
And you are all I miss, you're leaving me here like this
From fathers to fathers, sons to sons,
Life is a torch passed on one by one,
But the rain is falling harder, the fire is burning dry
And I'm trying my best but I cannot say goodbye
I'm screaming so loudly, I know you cannot hear
I'm already forgetting the time that you were here
But I still feel alone, this has left me a mess,
Selfishly I want you back, but I know this is for the best

I Need You
02:57

I'm numb to your hands and Your voice
No comfort, just cold and just noise,
They say just fake it a rejoice,
But I can't let my feelings go unvoiced
What was once fixed is now broke
I try to talk but I choke
When I try to say I need You
My prayers are stuck in the rafters
While my life below is a disaster
When did emotions become my master?
Could relief please come a little faster?
No motivation to change at all
I've been neglecting You when You call
So can You hear me say I need You?
I want to want more of You
But all that I can think to do
Is close my eyes and sing I need You

This place is honestly killing me,
Here again down on the floor.
Dropped like a stone into the sea,
Oh God, I can't take anymore.
I come before you a broken man,
Whose identity's slipping away.
Once again I need your loving hand,
You take control and make everything okay.
All this time I can't see what I'm doing, or see what I've done here
But your grace has opened my eyes to a better life, Oh God I'm trying
To stay here in your arms, I want you to hold me, come Father hold me,
Cause I know you'll never let me go.
The ugliest thoughts all inside my head,
Against which I have no choice.
I'm feeling that all of my hope is dead,
But before I give in I hear your still small voice.
All this time I can't see what I'm doing, or see what I've done here
But your grace has opened my eyes to a better life, Oh God I'm trying
To stay here in your arms, I want you to hold me, come Father hold me,
Cause I know you'll never let me go.
My hands are tied, I feel the grip,
My heart and mind, start to slip,
Into this sin, I'm knee deep in hell,
I could give in, first I ask myself
Is your faith still alive?
Jesus, I fall on my knees in shame.
I will trust, you through all this pain.
Jesus, I fall on my knees in praise.
I will trust, you through all this pain
