Con Man 03:11
I've heard the lies you offer / I've fallen for them all before / The more you try the more I'll fight / and I'll just hate you even more / You don't have your claws in me / The chains are broken now I'm free / You're like a wasp without its wings / you've got no bite / you've got no sting // YOU DON'T HAVE A HOLD ON ME / I WILL NOT BEND TO THE POWER YOU HAD OVER ME / I WILL NEVER BOW / I WILL NEVER BREAK / THE MAN I WAS IS DEAD / I'M NOT THE SAME ANYMORE // I've seen the masks you wear / You've fooled me more than once before / Like a lamb led to the slaughter / You had me weakened to the core / Your words don't mean / anything to me / You're wounded now / and I'll watch you bleed ///
2.
Outsider 03:12
All my cries / fall on deaf ears / You've built your walls up through the years / You shut me out of your life / You turn your back on what's right / Now you're weak and all alone / Your demons attack from all sides // CAN YOU SEE / WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU / THE OUTSIDER / I KNOW YOUR PAIN / I'VE BEEN THERE TOO / THE OUTSIDER // I know you're scared / and you're so alone / You've never been so far from home / I gave it all / so you could have it all ///
3.
I hear the cries of the lost / piercing the darkness / I hear the screams of the hopeless / breaking the silence / I see their empty faces / searching for answers / I hear their voices calling / begging for solace // CAN YOU BRING THE HOPE / INTO THE ENDLESS NIGHT / THROUGH THE DARKNESS / CAN YOU BE THE LIGHT / CAN YOU SAVE THEM / SHOW THEM THE TRUTH / GUIDE EACH STEP WE TAKE / CAN YOU LIGHT THE WAY // So many of us are chosen / Few of us heed the call / Cause we all live for ourselves / and never consider the cost / While this world is dying around us / We sit in the pews and watch / How can we stand by so idle / while they all fall around us / Who will be the one to take them the answers / Who will be the one to show them the truth ///
4.
You paint such / a beautiful picture / a wonderful disguise / to hide all of your lies // YOU WILL NEVER CLAIM YOUR PRIZE / ALL YOU'LL FIND IS BUSTED CHAINS AND BROKEN TIES / YOU WILL NEVER CLAIM YOUR PRIZE / I WON'T BE YOUR VICTIM DESPITE ALL YOUR LIES // You conned me / with flawless endeavors / Your plans were just a ruse / To leave me weak and used / I see through the masks you wear / I won't fall in your traps anymore ///
5.
Deeper I sink / into this pit I've dug for myself / Further I fall / I'm no longer the king of my own hill / I've made my bed / Now I lie on these sores alone and empty / I've built my house on this foundation of sand / Without You here I can't go on / Without You here I'll fall // THEN YOU CAME / YOU TOOK ME BROKEN / HEALED MY WOUNDS / THEN YOU CAME / YOU TOOK THIS FAILURE / GAVE ME PURPOSE // Weak and undone / I feel my life falling apart / By flaw or design / nothing is as I planned / Despite my intent all my goals slip from my grasp / The plans I've made / all amount to nothing / You saved me from this place when I'd given up / If I can see Your face then You'll lift me up ///
6.
I know where you're headed / I know where you are / I see where you're going / As you stumble through the dark / I know your life seems hard / You think all hope is gone / I know you feel alone / You think that I am gone // DON'T GIVE UP / DON'T LOOSE YOUR FAITH AGAIN / DON'T GIVE UP / I'M WITH YOU TIL THE END // I see each of your scars / The ones you try to hide / I know you're life seems hard / You think all hope is lost / I'll never abandon you / I'll never forsake my child ///
7.
It feels like forever / since I fell into Your arms / It feels like forever / since I was safe from harm / Life's to short / to waste away / from You // YOU FILL THE VOID INSIDE ME // I was blind to think / there were secrets I could keep / You see all I've hidden / all I've locked away so deep ///
8.
Here we are so broken / we have nothing of worth / but everything we offer up is Yours / You know all about us / You know our past mistakes / but You welcome us home with open arms / I cry out Your name / Here me now // WE ARE / SINNERS LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS / WE ARE / LOST AND WAITING TO BE FOUND / YOU ARE / LIGHT THAT GUIDES US IN THE DARKNESS / YOU ARE / HOPE THAT LIFTS US OFF THE GROUND // Here we are betrayers / We kick the dirt at You / We've cursed Your name and brought You only shame / You know our deepest thoughts / We spit into Your face / Despite our wrongs You chose to take our place ///
9.
I call out Your name but I hear no reply / Where are You where have You gone / I need You more than ever / I wish You were here I feel so alone / I miss the warmth of Your embrace / I need You more than ever // WHEN YOU'RE HERE / ALL THE SHADOWS DISAPPEAR / WHEN YOU'RE HERE / I SEE EVERYTHING SO CLEAR // I've faced pain before / but nothing like this storm / Now I'm sinking deeper down / It goes on forever / Please just take my hand I need to know You're there / I've been away from You so long / It feels like forever ///
10.
Make Me New 04:03
I grow old and jaded / My innocence fades / In my arrogance / I slip so far away / Like a child who's lost / I grow angry and scared / The more that I fall / the more I wish You were there / You still love me through all the pain / Even when I turned my back / You never turned away // I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE / CALLING OUT MY NAME / I CAN'T SEE YOU THERE / THE DARK CLOUDS BLOCK YOUR FACE // Selfishness consumes me / I wreck the plans You've made / In my arrogance I run further from Your way / Like a prisoner / I try so hard to escape / But no matter where I go I can't hide from Your grace / You make me new ///
