Nine Lashes

(Starts off with prechorus and chorus) This life is never simple And never quite serene The sky is open But I can't believe it's open to me This time I'm taking chances The chance is all a dream This time I'll pick up the pieces Never really thought t...

Our story time is told And I'm blinded by the afterglow Can you hear me dear? Now I'm thumbing through the pages Of the beautifully romantic years I can hear you, dear ohh.. 'Cause right in front of me, You disappear You're still vanishing You left m...

A heart made of stone Callous and bone Fracture and tear it out To let it go And to think I called it my own And I would never thought The pain could grow So I'll break it Knowing what you said The pain is what you make it Sadly you are so mistaken...

I've got the life I'm living it up I take flight No time for the ground below me You are the wings to live my soul And we touch the sky I'm giving it up I knew the life No settle for the clouds below me I want you and you alone You never let me down,...

Strange The color seems to change So crystal is the world we view Wait I feel it changing state Dripping what we thought we knew It's all rushing to me Can anybody see? You won't believe your eyes A stranger to me You won't believe your eyes The...

I keep my eyes closed I cannot feel this heart inside my chest Is it alive at all? Or is it groats of steel So quiet I'm calling out to you with everything Open my eyes to see the light of day Created me, My heart, That only knows your name. Cos I'...

You'd never know this was an empty smile But then my days have felt like this for quite a while But no one seems to see it, It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by, by and by I'm trying every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and All...

Indeed The clever cover costs to much to pay Could I ever be the same, as it is? So it's always been for you and I Unchanging And if ever you can hear me Take time, investigate the sounds. 'cause your words are crashing through me Feel their meaning t...

I was only outside looking in, Ruined and dirty in my old skin. I met the fury of the King, Who saved a wretch like me. I'm not who I am. But who you are. Alive in me. It's Christ in me. The fullness of, The Fathers love. Alive in me. It's Christ i...

I never wanted a cover up I only needed you here I've lived in search of a place I belong Where the cold rain will disappear Is somebody out there? Is somebody out there? I wanna know Why you left me To cover your own And forget me Though I have th...

I've got this feelin' I've been missing something deep in my soul. I may be breathin' but I'm barely alive. Lately I'm feelin' so uncomfortable in my comfort zone, it's like I'm drowning on the surface of life. Too long I've been afraid of the water, I'm...

It's us and them And here we make our stand We will define the line that saves us from the others They're coming for The weak and weary one to fall So wonderful that our hearts are intertwined And how do we know If we are safe from it all I don't know...

Another day Another chain to break Another way to tie myself within my words To calm the ache To call a name It's so impossible it seems I found a way inside And everybody's here It's so free all over me as I'm letting go Now come along and find you...

They'll never find me here I'll leave behind all of the things I fear I'm pressing on into the atmosphere To get above all the rain and finally fly I'll pray the great unknown and ever after I have found my home I'll live forever with the one who shows...

I see the shadows they're towering I close my eyes and pass them by I feel the fear and I'm cowering Wish I could find a way to rise I know it's underneath the skin It's just beneath the surface I want to run I want to hide Am I awake Am I alive I do...

Sky blazing with the remnants of a raging war Why does the dark chase back the light? Though overtaken, not God-forsaken in this petty life These second chances leave second glances With a big surprise And they find all the lies Peeled back revealing li...

There's something growing inside It's pushing out of my mind A simple thought taking over every part of me What four days run short? Time is so hard to ignore When waiting for the sound I'm as ready for The journey now As I'll ever be I've been waiti...

I guess you don't believe me now You never wanted this Back turned and the wind is all you have It's all you needed You're alright, you're alright now You believe what you want to Gone somehow, you've gone somehow But I'm waiting for you Get back to...

You made your way into the waters The places that I could've drown And when came the day that you found me Heaven resounded Though ties dragged me down to the darkness You called me by name to the shore Oh bless the day that you found me Heaven resound...

And you came with a thrill I was just a lovely regret In the back of my mind... In the back of my mind... But you failed And the killing all the while I was stealing a place in the back of my mind In the back of my mind... (Goodbye...) You never leav...

Everyone who can love Everyone who can hide Is beating inside of me Every breath is a gift Every pulse is alive And it’s burning inside of you I feel your blood rush through my veins All the hope and all the shame You feel my pain touch every nerve Y...

As you stare right through me And your cares pushed into me, killing So they're mercin' all these cursed lies And you're there getting to me Everywhere your words like thorns they irritate So they'll first reject these thoughts I find Holes in your the...

I don't wanna walk around the maze (The clouds hang above) I can't find the way out I don't wanna wander here for days (They darken the sun) I can't find the way out The shadows surround me I've never been here before I need You to save me Feels lik...

I must confess, the weight of this is overwhelming With things unsaid they were walking the other way They have defined this heart of mine by darker shadings When they can't see me at all We'll make it fall We'll make it fall So light it up, light it u...

She took a walk and kept her head to the ground And everything around her, it was tumbling down The veil she hid behind was not as safe and sound as she thought You were there while she was starting to drown She disappeared as all the waters abounded Stan...

Here I am where no one found the way in Brick and stone, this place in me The cold has taught to close my heart or suffer But lost at home is strange to me And I feel so alone And I need someone Are you out there? If you hear me, listen close I'm sorry...

If I could take what I so believe in Draping its hand in front of me with it all And I'm ever reaching Straight from this heart in me It's the tallest I've ever seen it Strange in this place of little dreams Like a wall in my sure to be things Standing...

Sit down, escape your lonely day My treat, the love is on me You seem so tired, and I'm understanding So tell your story You stumble but it's alright Say what you want to me, my friend The words are growing bigger in my head So take all you want from...

From here all the world is a raging fire I know You can see what I see Well they'll have their way Everyone breaking down If we turn and we flee All I know is I'd rather die than believe a lie (Live a lie) I cannot follow the blind We'll never back do...

The disguise, where you find yourself replaced with something else Through the eyes of a lie you see that for you there's nothing left A solitary fist in the air can leave you with a purpose and a care A solitary fist in the air can leave you with a pur...

The ache isn't all what we remember from cliches Could we breathe at all? Collapsing from the weight So I'll Wake up screaming to lift you out It's all that I can do Today's when I will Scream My lungs will break under my strain All the way All th...

There is the reason why I've left the world behind Who's promises just left me down And on my hopes and dreams All that was taken form me What I thought is lost Has now been found Because you've stolen my heart away Nothing here can take it Am a...

I am tired I am broken Unsure at every turn Though You told me where to go I lost the road Been a while since I have heard You And doubts are creeping in How can I continue walking on my own? I need to know you’re here With me Cause I become a desp...

We were made to fly In a burning sky We are fighters till the end and we will pray for love Cos there is hope for us and you have shown us once again We are The chosen The chosen The chosen ones The chosen ones We are The chosen The chosen The...

Alive Survived to challenge solitude Surprise I'm back to spread a simple truth And I feel you taking over Push through the veins up to my brain It gives Betrayed the misdirection over me! And the fall won't be the end Comin' back to life! I reach f...

If I could breathe The whole world is out And they want to get me to bleed And these stolen seconds They were never mine So if you believe That somehow you killed your dream Just listen close to mine Wait, this whole intervention is mine I'm failing...

What sort of place is this? How did it get this far? We'd never hear them say We'll never become It's like a dream in a sense I never saw this far But I see the fault It's like it's never enough So please just say Where do you go If nothing can sati...

As dark as the night A terrible sight I wandered far away from home No way to escape Though try as I might But You found a gate to my surprise I never knew You were there Just wanting to help me up when the road got hard I'll never go there again Dis...

Listen to me Cause I know it's over You'll throw it away Throw it away and tell me that it's ok When at all it is possible I'm making your day Cause I've something to say When fallen down No need to wait I tell it's alright, it's alright Walker of waves He'll...

Into the other side Lets run away And make believe,awake to see The deams that come to life We'll take our cover Under words of red Until the rain recedes And mysteries have said their goodbyes Just like the world they will die So we will say our Goodbyes We...

I've been waiting for things to change Such loss of time and it's still the same They'll raise the questions But they'll kill the answers Write it down Scream it aloud Don't let it go There's so many deafened ears So dead in wrong Cause simple is as...

I see the shadows they're towering I close my eyes and pass them by I feel the fear and I'm cowering Wish I could find a way to rise I know it's underneath the skin It's just beneath the surface I want to run I want to hide Am I awake Am I alive I do...
