1.I Can't Stand To Fall
Is there an earthquake causing the earth to shake
So violently that I can't stand on my two feet
(Why can't I stand on my two feet?)
It makes my heart break knowing I'm not
What I thought I'd be
I always hoped for greater things
(I know I'm meant for greater things)
But not now
Tear down these walls
I'd climb but I can't stand to fall without You
Tear down these walls that separate us now
I can't make them fall without You
I spent a long time building barricades to fortify
Creating space by drawing lines (by drawing lines)
But now I realize when I try to hide it's all in vain
I end up pushing You away
(I'm tired of pushing You away)
But not now
Tear down these walls
I'd climb but I can't stand to fall without You
Tear down these walls that separate us now
I can't make them fall without You
You'll find me lying down in the debris waiting for You
There's not much left of me
But what is left is willing
God I'm willing
Tear down these walls
I'd climb but I can't stand to fall without You
Tear down these walls that separate us now
I can't make them fall without You
Tear down these walls
I'd climb but I can't stand to fall without You
Tear down these walls that separate us now
I can't make them fall without You
2.The Difference
I checked the map to make sure that I got it right
But still I don't know where You're taking me tonight
And I've tried so hard to mix the old life with the new
But there's not in between if I'm gonna follow You
There's gotta be a difference
It's gotta be significant
If You're really inside changing my life
You would shine, You would be evident
If there's a difference
There's a difference
Here I am, I've got this baggage by my side
But I am ready now to leave it all behind
So I'm taking this moment to tell You I'm open
I'm taking this moment to give You everything
There's gotta be a difference
It's gotta be significant
If You're really inside changing my life
You would shine, You would be evident
If there's a difference
There's a difference
We're not meant to be another face in the crowd
We're not meant to be another face in the crowd
There's gotta be a difference
It's gotta be significant
'Cause You're really inside changing my life
And it's so evident that there's a difference
There's a difference
There's gotta be a difference
It's gotta be significant
If You're really inside changing my life
There's a difference
There's a difference
There's a difference
There's a difference
There's a difference
3.Another Name
I know that you get overwhelmed
But just relax
You feel like time is running out
And you could fall between the cracks
And nothing that you've ever done
Is ever good enough
Breathe in now
Receive another name
Receive another name
Breathe in now
Live without the blame
Live without the blame
I know you haven't figured out
What happens next
You feel like you have lost your way
'Cause you don't know which way to step
It feels like every time you try to walk you only crawl
Just open up your eyes and know that I won't let you fall
Breathe in now
Receive another name
Receive another name
Breathe in now
Live without the blame
Live without the blame
'Cause all you ever wanted
And all you ever needed
Is waiting here with me
You have all been livin'
A life I have forgiven
So know that you are free
Know that you are free
Breathe in now
Receive another name
Receive another name
Breathe in now
Live without the blame
Live without the blame
Breathe in now
Receive another name
Receive another name
Breathe in now
Live without the blame
Live without the blame
And You say...
4.My Hippocratic Oath
Get to his chest, compress,
his heart stopped beating
A breath, resuscitate some feeling
The ambulance will take over from here
Looking down on you in preparation
With mask and tools, this operation
Is your last chance to live so close your eyes
As I'm putting you under
I can save your heart even though it's destined to fail
But don't be afraid
You just might make it out alive this way
As I review your chart, you dispute your need for repair
But I guarantee
You'll never make it out alive without me
To see what hides inside, I cut you open
A mass of pride, bruised and swollen
And it must be removed so you can heal
Now the choice is yours, accept the treatment
Say the word and I'll proceed
Now there's nothing left to do but close your eyes
As I'm putting you under
I can save your heart even though it's destined to fail
But don't be afraid
You just might make it out alive this way
As I review your chart, you dispute your need for repair
But I guarantee
You'll never make it out alive without me
'There's a pain in my chest and I'm told by the best
They can't save me
What make You think You can?'
'The drugs they prescribe and procedures they try
Will not save you
But I swear to you I can'
I can save your heart even though it's destined to fail
But don't be afraid
You just might make it out alive this way
As I review your chart, you dispute your need for repair
But I guarantee
You'll never make it out alive without me
Let me play my part
I'll keep you breathing I swear
But I guarantee you'll never make it out alive without me
5.Photosynthetic
Choose your subject and fill the frame
Leave the crime scene just as quietly as you came
You've been providing evidence
And all the puzzle pieces fit
You are who they say you are
You've framed yourself in innocence
The jury's out and they're convinced
You are who they say you are
Just point and shoot
That's all you do
To help yourself feel free
Murder by photography
It's simply pathetic how photosynthetic
Your life has become
Staring at the mirror plotting your next move
Finding new ways to improve
A witness claims your case is a charade
Accusations made have turned this into a game you know
Now by your rules we play
The day turns, the room adjourns
And we're stuck in the same place
Your defense is under attack
And they're not cutting any slack
You are who you say you are
Snap snap another photograph
You've been exposed and can't turn back
You are who you say you are
It's simply pathetic how photosynthetic
Your life has become
Staring at the mirror plotting your next move
Finding new ways to improve
Just point and shoot
That's all you do
To help yourself feel free
Murder by photography
6.The Ascension
Of course I would rather not try to explain
Where all this is going
I never thought we'd take it so lightly
The high and the mighty
Will all fall the same
Of course I would stick to my story
An obvious warning to heed to the signs
Then everything, it crumbles around me
The last call is sounding
I'm boarding the train
And time, it won't stand still
Dreams will slowly hide
Beneath the dust that settles on your life
Your life
The truth is we'd rather not listen
Aborting the mission, abandoning hope
It's sabotage, we scramble the signals
Give up our positions
Surrender to fear
Running blind, escaping the future
The winners and losers are called out tonight
You can't run, can't hide in the back seat
The sky is collapsing
The future is here
And time, it won't stand still
Dreams will slowly hide
Beneath the dust that settles on your life
Sit with me, we'll watch the stars collide
The flaming embers wrapped in smoke
Will shower you and I
And as we burn, our bodies leave their posts
We'll ascend the charred remains
And depart from all we know
You and I will survive
Sit with me, we'll watch the stars collide
The flaming embers wrapped in smoke
Will shower you and I
And as we burn, our bodies leave their posts
We'll ascend the charred remains
And depart from all we know
You and I will survive
