Desolate 02:12
Behind the fire and under the ashes Is the sweet smell of the living vine Look not one structure stands tall And there's no trace of life in sight Arson flaunts itself before my distraught eyes Under the remains Is the sweet smell of the living vine At first glance this land seems barren And gutted of its beauty Oh can't you see/why won't you believe You only trust in the natural eyes viewing Why won't you believe Your will your life your pride It's all burnt to the ground but under the ashes is the sweet smell of the living vine It's hard to trust in the midst of discord As well as interpret the darkness of this world But have your circumstances altered the case Has casuistry altered your fate Turn your eyes to the heavens Each star has a name You are like a wave in the ocean Tossed side to side Always unsteady and unready Your intelligence is a crutch You're a faithless human being Satan has you in his clutch But under the ashes is the sweet smell of the living vine What is my purpose in this life Is it to live for me myself and I And walk through this life losing my mind because I could perish at the drop of dime

Rape and murder cover our land Oh how we trample the blood of the lamb With the hands of man we've dug our children's graves  When abortion begins to rise  With the day What example is this for the wondering eye We just silence their cries  When sexual slavery takes the heart and mind of this country As greed and pride have left the eyes blind So help me God So young and helpless are the victims in this day And across the world they are hunted as prey Who will take a stand to protect them Who will fight against our twisted system How low will we go How far will we flow off our shores into addictions cove Don't you know that the Devils boots do not creak And in a idle mind the devil closely  plots his schemes  And the result I've scene the world far so far from Christ  I've scene progression of hope and happiness die Everything I've scene makes me wish that I was blind The agony and pain that exist is infinite  And it will carry its weight Into the deepest pit Its consequences will not be shunned Because their is a righteous God who sees all under the sun Why does it have to come to this Why does slavery exist In a country founded off freedom liberty and justice  You hypocrite  You Pharisee  Your hearts are endless graves filled with disease  Your wealth keeps you enslaved  My prayers are for the wounded and hopeless  Hold on  Press on You are not alone  Press on live on  You are not alone

Ultimatum 02:23
I've discovered a map deep in the forbidden woods It's landscapes are marvelous  And it's roads are paved with Gold Surely they will lead to a place of endless riches and food. you know  this is good news for the people of my small town We must call a gathering to discuss our future reign and crown People came from miles eagerly waiting to hear the good news I spoke Hope has come our way at last  Because here in my hand I hold a map that could make all your dreams come true In fact  Their will be no more poverty, no more tears and no more fear  Because we will have wealth up to our ears We celebrated and danced throughout the night We were like a family but I could sense that many of the men had schemes on their minds I had the guard the map with the sharpest knife And sleep with one eye open  Ready to strike at anytime In the name of wealth we will leave behind our religion and morals that have defined us We will leave this land that God gave us Division and strife broke out in the land We're fearful to leave  (The people began to shout) How could we abandon what God has given us to follow Mere man? You are leading us to our graves We will become your slaves We can see it now If you are with me then with me you stand If you are against me then death is at hand Civil war claims the day  Division has shed blood once again And the voice behind this war is of a charming man who has forgotten the blessings of our land The sound of weeping and the energy of sorrow fills the sky from day Into night And innocence of their foundation has been shaken by deceitful lies But we as a people do not crouch over and die We will rebuild our lives based on the promises that have held firm throughout time

Wayward 02:53
Their once was a man lying face down in his own vomit His intentions were clear Numb this dead man from all of his fears And silence the voices that manipulate my choices So he drank and he drank until he lost all fear And as the morning sun began to rise  So does his fears and confusions of life  He wonders why his so called friends left him passed out drunk in a street side ditch  He climbs to his feet and he begins to scream  Can you see me x3 Oh God look at what I've become  As he looks up Into the sky he begins to curse the very God he once denied He has no where to go but to turn to a friend he once disowned  Because in past times religion had caused him to turn his back and give up on hope  Just as love and hatred can never become one His family has shut the door  Because they won't deal with theft and drugs no more So he made a call to that friend for comfort and to help him escape his demons With urgency he runs He beats on the front door The door swings open He falls into welcoming arms His burdens are lifted and his mind has been out to rest And for once he sees that  Love is a gift x6 He looks up and he says This is a place of peace where the cross hangs higher than the sun rays peak Please think for yourself  When I was just like you Until grace fell on this house You see he is greater then society  This is a place of peace You were a menace to society So what does all this mean to you?

I was birthed to a mother who was a drug addict teenMy father was a 16 year old punk who had nothing to savor They both came from dysfunctional homes It's an on going problem that has taken root in our soil A moment of clarity at the birth of their son  Quickly turns to regret when their freedom is shunned  Their disappointed parents were quick to point the finger but behind their masks they weep as the memories began to linger of when they once stood in those shoes Deja vu  They saw no selfless purpose for me so what followed was abuse CPS gets involved Until my mother had her issues solved  Years pass  So many emotions clash, finally She gets her life intact  So it seemed At the age of 9 Under her roof  I was taken from my bed to a foreign land Against my will For two years straight I was molested and treated like a slave Like I had no face or name I sought after a church  But it all ended in vain  10 years later I'm home and I've gone through 7 different families  They all said He's too rebellious and broken And. It enough money in the world can produce enough patients in our hearts to mold and shape him into the man he needs to be, so let him be.  Let him go through the prisons because He'll never succeed, he will never amount to anything. He is oblivious to reality So just let him be And next thing I know  I'm 21 years old  With this curse embedded in my soul. In every direction I was pulled because of my weary heart  I desperately longed for acceptance because to me I was a reflection of a deadbeat fool An atheistic mindset driven by hatred towards anyone who claimed to speak the truth of God I'm not going to bow a knee to someone who deserted me A selfish fable to keep people living in dismay  And I lived this up everyday Giving my body away Although money was not my gain But rather throwing away their precious hearts  Brought me joy and them pain I was sick and twisted in my train of thought And I thought the world owed me everything for this life I got

XIII Reasons 02:08
The ocean is my denouement A precise denotation of my heart We are one and one are we From the ridge I am enticed Into it's being A way out/a way out/ a way out A path to silence It has promised me What lies beneath those waters A way out a way out Everybody wants to go to heaven but who's willing to cross the line Who will drain their lungs Who will drain their lungs To catch a glimpse of the light How do I rank according to your laws Am I disgusting Or am I a stain on your white garment I can no longer fear death I have died to many times I am fragile and broken I can no longer fear death

Lowlands 05:16
Before the sun sets I will deal with my regrets Because once again It's pain has left me paralyzed How I'm a sucker when temptation cries When it's lies bid me to come and die Oh come to me oh come to me I hear your call I fall to my knees and begin to crawl I'm like a slave who's back's been scarred and has been thrown in the darkness to wrought for his heartless life Oh which way is up Am I going down Nothing makes sense all I'm left with is doubt A bitter crown is my reward A cowards thrown is what I deserve Am I truly at the point of no return why has this addiction Resulted in affliction leaving whom I love shattered at the door Hours upon hours I wept and screamed I've let out everything to the point of suffocation but my heart still keeps on beating and pulling me away It's like I keep on pressing rewind It's like I keep on falling back into time Making the same mistakes over and over again I'm sinking ship God please help me escape these raging seas That in the end this will surely be the end of me Destroying the honor of my family My dig it's but most of all my love for you Time has been dreadful here in these lowlands Where the rivers run dry and the food wears thin Starvation is the image of my sin Lust is the disease that dwells within Grace shine upon me Before I sink into the depth of my soul Where darkness will take its toll and leave me chained to these walls

Repulsion 02:43
Focused mind although I once was blind. Face to face with my troubled times. I was confined to emotions and ignorance and I was well aware of your devotion to me. As I walk through these shades of grey reality hits the switch that was once hidden away from me I'm not sure if I'll find my way through this vicious cycle that won't go away Pain is the only thing that reminds me that I'm alive This is not a dream This is not a dream this is reality  I tell myself not to fall into these deep thoughts caught in these hallow walls Chaos and confusion have gripped my life and it won't let go Grab ahold of the rope this is your way out At the top of the hill there is a old rugged cross where your life way ransomed for and bought with a cost  I've read about the son of man crucified before men but this was not his end It's says 3 days later he rose from the grave to bring redemption to all the slaves I am the darkest sinner that there is Focuses mind although I once was blind Face to face When will I love you again I can't trust my own mind When will I love you again My heart is welded with strife

Darkness can testify of the pain that dwells within a mind  No light No awareness of time Emotions always seem to take the wheel of life and drive hope straight into the ground  Without a sound you're left to work all this out On your own find a way out Perspective is the only abdication that could end all this now Holding back my tears because it's hard to endure the struggle that awaits us And it can't be ignored Anxiety plagues me and its grip cannot be torn I feel the presence of grief just waiting to strike at the moment of peace  And I cannot believe these thoughts that are slowly killing me It's a disease  Entombed in this vacant room while bedlam and commotion consume the world around me My desire is to be secluded from this life Why pain Why sorrow Why does evil have a grip on tomorrow  Is there a purpose  Is there a plan  Or have we fallen off moral standards That we've become the hand that has orchestrated this disaster  We cannot coward away We must be the change We seek to restrain the dismay that are the currents of this age It's apart of me, it's apart of you  We all know in our hearts exactly what we need to do Its apart of me, it's apart of you We must seek to restrain the dismay We all know in our hearts exactly what we need to do And as the days go by I fall into my mind But it's set in stone that I am not alone He hears my every cry And on these restless nights  I fall into my mind But it's set in stone that I'm not alone  He hears my every cry

Winter Born 03:52
I found myself at the edge of a cliff  Contemplating how and why I lacked happiness  Was it the fact that I had no place to call my home  Or that I was a beggar and alone A gaping hole inside my heart  That was slowly ripping me apart And I was ready to end it I was ready to call it quits  It was time to silence the evil that existed In me  Anxiety and depression rushed over me And at the point of desolation I fell into restoration By the grace of God He met me where I was  In my weakness he became my strength  And I won't forget  In my weakness he became my strength  In my emptiness he made whole And nothing else matters Not the pain not the vain I held in my heart I was set free by the one I considered my enemy  The one who was a mystery was now more clear to me then the very breath that enters my lungs  Breathe  Redemption Now as I write down my past and I think of how far I've come  I can't help but to reflect on what's been done to see my through my darkest days and in many ways I can't believe that I'm alive  And I hold my head up high  Knowing Jesus is truly who he says he is So why live in fear why tremble when evil is near  Think about it The God who created the universe is love  He showed it when he hung upon the cross for us And this means everything to the one who's been forgiven much and that displays me Forgiven portrays me That was me in the lowlands fighting off my sexual addiction to pornography -set free That was me as a wayward man steeped in drugs and alcohol a menace to society-set free  That was me in the ruins of my own flesh seeking to be free seeking to be me -set free  Now I am a husband and a father with a second chance at life So with joy I seek to praise the risen king with everything inside of me
