More New

I try to hold on to what I used to know
but everything inside of me says let go
I try so hard to not fall down
It's made its mark the past is only sound

Its not enough
I'm more than I was before
I'm learning to trust
the tide that moves the shore
the shore goes back for more
Cause I'm more new than I was before

You're moving me
through what I can't see
I would not have chosen this path
but given the chance I would not go back
You write my life with the infinite pen
and these words I will learn to trust in

Its not enough
I'm more than I was before
I'm learning to trust
the tide that moves the shore
the shore goes back for more
Cause I'm more new than I was before

Some say the shore can't move
but I'm the shore that proves them wrong
You're long suffering and you love me
you've set me free
to be in motion
you're the tide of the ocean
and I am a moving shore
I'm more new than I was before

Finally Snapped

Finally snapped
finally sapped
on your throne
on your own
not what you thought
not what you bought
too high a price
to cry a life

When he asked you that day
you thought hey
this is the golden opportunity
so you gave your self away
put your soul on display
to the ones born on the darkest day
So here you are
fallen man
See your scar
crawling stand
you sold your soul for so little
now its your turn to break whats brittle
to make them fall

Finally snapped
finally sapped
on your throne
on your own
not what you thought
not what you bought
too high a price
to cry a life

You feed off of others downfalls
Your kingdom is full of those who crawl
down into dark places
filled with dreary faces
who all look to each others for answers but come up empty
this isn't what you thought it would be

And now you see your trouble
the double mistake
you cursed your love
and loved your hate
and now the very thing
that drove you
is the only way you know you
are fallen
so come crawling back home
where you're not alone
you are not supposed to own the world
so come crawling back home
he will never leave you scarred and cold
He's the one who made your soul
and will overcome the one who stole

Finally snapped
come on back
finally home
not on your own
don't have to hold the dark together
let the light shine in and make you better
the black will wear off as he looses the fetters
Come on back home
leave the dark alone

Like the Song

Not sure this is worth it
probably been said before
Just about everyone has heard this
but that won't stop my heart shore

I'm fading in and out
Like the song
Sustaining a bit of doubt
Like the song along the shore
where your Holy feet grew sore
to bring us so much more
This is song of the apostles
this is the song of the forgotten gospels
that penetrate our spirit
if we stop to hear it
like the song

This is the tune for the ones you
prayed for
but were not able to stay awake
Lord we pray
take our hearts away
to a better place not of this world
while we are living in its words

Make us strangers in this land
let us be led only by your hand
We are just lost and lonely sheep
we pray that we'll be in your keep

Memo to The Ones

This song is for the ones
who would have me unstrung
This is the anthem of the sun
The sun that will come when the dark is done

To the ones who would have me laid out on the wayside
Filled with curses and ripped verses from the gray side

We have already won
the moon is shining out
though the darkness shuns
the light it finds it must back down
so to the ones who would have me undone
We have already won

So I will not be discouraged
when the road looks dark and scourged with
the lashes of bitter tounges and blood runs
down from the faces of those who war for the cause
Those who serve the Narrow will not always be lost

To the ones who would have me laid out on the wayside
Filled with curses and ripped verses from the gray side

We have already won
the moon is shining out
though the darkness shuns
the light it finds it must back down
so to the ones who would have me undone
We have already won

Daylight will come
Daylight will win over thee
Daylight will come
Daylight will bring peace

Light in Flight

Descending to us
from the above
A child's face of love
We did not know it
We could not show it
We heard you cry
and we passed you by

Oh the Light in flight
Oh the Glorious Might
In a shattered past
your voice like pieces of glass
cutting through the misty veil
Though we should bow and hail you King
We missed the mark of your light

Coming down upon us
Curing us of soul rust
You healed our wounds
and we followed you
only long enough to inflict revenge
on the innocent
We did not know it
We couldn't show it
We heard you cry
and we passed you by

Oh the Light in flight
Oh the Glorious Might
In a shattered past
your voice like pieces of glass
cutting through the misty veil
Though we should bow and hail you King
We missed the mark of your light

What a bittersweet moment when we knew
the blood on our hands was from you
and we knew the Truth
you were the one we'd waited for
the only thing we need adore
You are the Lord

We saw the Light in Flight
We saw the Light in Flight
Fury and Grace upon his face
Golden Glory in this place
We saw the Light in Flight
We will not pass you by

Oh the Light in flight
Oh the Glorious Might
In a shattered past
your voice like pieces of glass
cutting through the misty veil
we will bow and hail you King
the sky praise and ring
We saw the Light in Flight

You Remind Me

When the sun rolls out of bed
And the moon lays down her head
I'm reminded again

When I shut my eyes to sleep in the deep end
And find me waking up mercy written in red
I'm reminded again

You always remind me
that one day you'll come and find me
and I know
that your glow
will permeate
the darkness that I hate
You always remind me
Just when I need a rail
You are the one who will never ever
never ever fail

When the stars sing bright at night
when the music starts to ring
I'm reminded again

When the ocean crashes against moonlight
and the only way to see is horizon line sight
I'm reminded again

Limbs and Branches

The Sun is alive
But I'm down below
With the ones to strive
to keep the fire cold

I am just the limbs and the branches
Heaven knows that I'm alone
Subject to whims and fancies
of my heart that turns to stone
when I'm not with you
I need your help and that's the truth
cause you're the roots of these limp limbs and branches
you're the roots of these limp limbs and branches

The moon is on fire
But I'm feeling old
Because I am the poison
that creeps into my soul

I need the anchor
of true salvation
to cure my rancor
to save my inside nation


I am just the limbs and the branches
Heaven knows that I'm alone
Subject to whims and fancies
of my heart that turns to stone
when I'm not with you
I need your help and that's the truth
cause you're the roots of these limp limbs and branches
you're the roots of these limp limbs and branches
