Words don’t flow, reactions slow I can’t figure out if I’m high or low My minds made up, don’t have a clue The only thing I know is I want to want you I thirst for fire, I’d die for drive Now the only question is would I thrive Would I strive, would I try Would I turn back if I get tired Minds a jumbled mess and I do care If I seem stressed please don’t stare At times I think that I’m losing my mind But I appreciate the time Commitments scare Words don’t carry It only means as much as I let it My thoughts could use an edit now My sensical standards are set to the low bar My minds a jumbled mess and I do care If I seem stressed please don’t stare At times I think that I’m losing my mind But I appreciate the time My minds a jumbled mess and I do care If I seem stressed please don’t stare At times I think that I’m losing my mind But I appreciate the time Could you imagine marrying someone who never seemed to care Stopping the love from making it to the dusty air That would be the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst Could you imagine marrying someone who never seemed to care Stopping the love from making it to the dusty air If I stop trying then I lose you If I stop dying then I’m losing more My minds a jumbled mess and I do care If I seem stressed please don’t stare At times I think that I’m losing my mind But I appreciate the time

Freedom 02:33
lyrics

Shame, you held and defined me Disgraced and made unclean Like a fiend lost in his schemes Lost like a bird without its wings Guitar without its strings Rich man without his things I’m on the ground Not as nice as it might sound Without a whim I’ll lose my mind Maybe then I’ll find you You sound so nice Not once not twice not thrice I fell for you and all your lies All you did was leave me dry Run, with all my strength just run Feel the heat beneath the sun A slave unto no one I’m gone Truth, feel its impact like a gun Hit the wall and now I’m done You move my feet to carry on Follow me, you say you can make me see Come to me with everything I want you to be clean I see you see redemption coming through you changed my heart and I chose you now this freedom makes me new Freedom, I said freedom I found freedom in these scars Freedom, I said freedom Now there’s freedom in this heart

Waves 02:37

The waves they crash down so simply The sea dances and keeps timing To be apart captivates my being But to get caught up terrifies me They sing me to sleep when I’m at shore I stand hypnotized when I’m wanting more The tides rising higher now I can feel it dragging me out My breath is cutting short These small gasps aren’t enough anymore I’m out of options I’ve reached desperation I can’t go in I need restoration The water sweeps me off the ground Consistently knocking me all around Unable to tell up from down I flawlessly flow and rest so sound Now I understand how things move This upheaval has led me to you Tides rising higher now I can feel it dragging me out My breath is cutting short These small gasps aren’t enough anymore I’m out of options I’ve reached desperation I can’t go in I need restoration My heart’s been revived and my mind has a clue Your rest oh my God makes my soul want to move With the waters rhythm, the heartbeat of truth The ocean’s harmonies lead me to you

Gomer Lyrics About the Song Look at this life, look at love It’s so one sided, I can’t keep up I’ll let you go, though it will hurt I’ll be right here, should you return Every time you walk away I feel a part of me break Like the morning mist you never stay The early due, you’re here then gone away I’ll wait for you my dear I’ll wait for you my dear Your coming home, and I’ll be here I’ll wait for you my dear She walks in darkness, she knows no names Your lovely light, consumed by shame I’ll see her scars, I’ll feel them to Goodbye my love, I’ll see you soon I’ll wait for you my dear I’ll wait for you my dear Your coming home, and I’ll be here I’ll wait for you my dear I’ve seen you stumble, I’ve seen you fall And my angers gone love, forgiving all Be like the lilies, take root in me I’ll smell your fragrance, know I am pleased I’ll wait for you my dear I’ll wait for you my dear Your coming home, and I’ll be here I’ll wait for you my dear I’ll wait for you my dear I’ll wait for you my dear Your coming home, and I’ll be here I’ll wait for you my dear

This town, it’s slow, there’s little for me here My call I know, haven’t any fear My heart beats quick, my feet are on the move I left the norm, don’t plan on looking back Towards the storm with little on my back This is it, at least I’m not alone No turning back and no place we call home When I left I thought there wasn’t anything home for me But I was wrong I miss my friends, I miss my family Should I stay, should I go this anchor’s killing me It weights me down, clouds my mind, I will press on Sin’s weight held my throat I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t sing, I couldn’t move Then you said I’m yours And you love me, doesn’t matter what I’ve done I found life in you I found life in you

Beast Pt.1 03:08
lyrics

Eyes so blue, they pierce like tridents Blue so blue, they cut like diamonds Her way so true, quickly she moves Through and through, she make all men swoon Her beauty takes me away this last year Every waking day just searching Bloodshot eyes and a reckless mind Her beauty takes me away Formed from glass, slick and shimmers Fingers webbed to tear trough water Waves don’t rise without her, she Lifts the tide, the queen of ocean life Her beauty takes me away this last year Every waking day just searching Bloodshot eyes and a restless mind Her beauty takes me away Then I saw her eyes, thought that I found life Then a moment longer, she came out with her lies With the depths insight, she swam me down Death assured I would drown Salt fills my lungs, can’t even cry Light slips away, pressed on all sides Surely this is my demise

Beast Pt. 2 02:49
lyrics

I was found dead, Void of life and all senses Existence laid flat, for no one to see I saw in the distance, something so beautiful It caught my attention, calling me close Something so different, then what took my life before Something so matchless so special so wonderful I can’t put my finger on it It brings back memories Of the burning sun from home Light shines On me My weak legs began to run Why can I hardly move How did the darkness creep back in Is this the ocean under my limbs Now reality feels like a nightmare Look over my shoulder she catches me with her glare Reminding me of, what I once loved and her violent beauty don’t be fooled, it’s her snare wicked despair, look up I’ll be in your lungs I’ll supply the breath to bring you home To your first love, how I long to be with you Air, wonderful air Life giving breath, no longer scared Shattered the glass, glass of the queen Ends her reign, ends her reign over me Breath out, you’ll be in my lungs You’ll supply the breath to bring my home To my first love How I long to be with you

Chains and shackles held my head Looking straight can’t move my legs See the shadows across the wall Hear the echo across the hall This dimly lit flame somehow captivates me sound Iron clang from down below desperate for something I know my knees hit the ground, the sense was not found then it came flooding through my ears come on my friend, you’ve got your options spend your days in a manmade coffin saying, you’ve got it good you’ll bruise, you’ll cry, and oh you’ll bleed black and blue and burgundy it’s worth it, even though, it hurts I found reflections, started small My eyes could not take fire’s draw Fighting through adjustments burn Fight the urge to return Memories of family imprisoned at home I took the safe way once before Left me lifeless, dry, and bored But rich in what ifs, saying no In the comforts of my tomb Saying yes I’ve seen the light I broke my nose and I got lice Every risky turn I made Seems so good for goodness sake I never thought I’d miss it this much come on my friend, you’ve got your options spend your days in a manmade coffin saying, you’ve got it good you’ll bruise, you’ll cry, and oh you’ll bleed black and blue and burgundy it’s worth it, even though, it hurts come on now fix your tattered shirt and don’t you dare forget your dirt tonight, were going home my friends take what you’ve learned and what you’ve seen bring it back home to your family be brave, I know, it hurts come on now fix your tattered shirt and don’t you dare forget your dirt tonight, were going home my friends take what you’ve learned and what you’ve seen bring it back home to your family be brave, I know, it hurts

Wolves 04:31
lyrics

I‘ve searched, pursued Turned life inside out for you And what, I found Was heartbreak anyhow I’m tired, of metaphors Hiding the truth behind closed doors I’ve cried, seen lies Felt the pain from a torn soul Tell me why All I can find is this dark stone rubble Inside this torn down heart of mine Tell me how I can rebuild everything Because it feels like I’m on my own Where are you now, where have you been I don’t know what to do Where are you now Do you not understand what I’ve given you Do you now understand who I am All this pain that you feel is just a glimpse into my grace And my crimson tide, it flows for my bride You ask where I’ve been, been here the whole time You’re what I fight for, your what I love I’m right here and I’m enough Give your life, everything in it Everything you are, everything you are Stand and fight, I’ll fight for you With everything I am, with everything I am Give your life, everything in it Everything you are, everything you are Stand and fight, I’ll fight for you With everything I am, with everything I am Take my life, everything in it Everything I am, everything I am I won’t fight, you can have me Everything I am, everything I am Take my life, everything in it Everything I am, everything I am I won’t fight, you can have me Everything I am, everything I am
