Verse 1
One and two count in your head
The thoughts that brew and cause you to dread
That regret is at hand and so is your life
Wait for it
Don’t use your hands to block the hit
Wait till you hit on the ground
Then comfort shall be found
Chorus
If you don’t show
Then where will my mind go
Wander from here to
Nowhere at all
If you don’t show
Will I just let Go
Of what is deeper than oceans and wider than valleys
Verse 2
You and me are fighting in thought of my misery
Caused my internal apathy
Forgetting where I’ve been
Run from it
With nowhere to go, but straight towards it
With hope to one day not lose
My life in all choose

Good Mistake

I lent my soul to this world
This package to handle with care
I gave it all skin and bone
Blood and tears
Here it is, no questions asked
Do what you will
I knew I would regret this
Just to get a fill
On something I was never empty on
I knew I could keep on
But that’s when common sense goes
(Chorus)
Has there ever been a good mistake I’ve made
I should've seen this coming
Faster than, my heart could have said
You better start running back
I was beaten to death
If you know what I mean
And how much more can I stress
I wasn’t worth saving!
And to consider myself blessed
Your name’s so worth repeating
(Bridge)
Are you done with this mentality of thinking
Everything is over
I’ve given everything I have, now give it
Everything you've got
You've got nothing to lose

Verse 1
I've been here listening to what you have to say
The Fragmented and Complete is what I choose to seek
From losing its feeling, To gaining, receiving
I need you to lose me completely in You
I'm tired of finding
You when I'm losing
I need You to lose me completely in You
Pre Chorus
'Cause I know what I want
and I know what I need
Chorus
Take these broken pieces of me
That have nothing to do with You
And I'm upset with everything that I am,
and everything i could ever be
But Making believe is all I see
Verse 2
Silence is golden bricks
Built up and made to fall
Keeping me and keeping you
I'm stuck between the two
I'm done returning, forgetting, and staying
Revolving around who I used be
I'm ready to move on, to give up, to hold on
To everything I've ever known to be true

Verse 1
Use our thoughts as weapons to find grace
Forgiveness in the midst of aching saints
Pointing fingers just as children do
Sometimes blaming yourself is way to true
Look up to the sky and count the stars
A mirror image of my once bleeding scars
Take a look at what you have made
Do you still care for the me you’ve made?
Chorus
Is love strong enough
...To love me
...To carry the weight of the things that destroy me
Verse 2
A simple beat that hearts can make
But oh, the trouble they can complicate
They follow streets and alleyways
What’s truly leading anyway
The mind, the body, and the soul
Can make one empty never whole
I'm still a mess even with you here
But can controlled chaos take out the fear?

Verse 1
Take a breath
Off the shore of broken dreams
Let it sicken your soul
Let the oxygen
Seep into the blood stream
Of full control
I'm tired of weakness
That is in a way killing you
The speech of a mute
The actions you don't do
(Chorus)
Are you...
Verse 2
The ocean view
Of a catastrophe in you is showing
You're giving false directions
You're inviting its hope in new ways
Your fingers are broken
Bending the road you ought to take
The speech of a mute
The actions you don't do
