Capsize Pt. II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I sink further down
I gasp for air
But there's none there
So certain that I'll drown
My time has come
I cannot run
Locked inside the belly
Of this beast
I call my ship
Waters flooding in
Destroying
Everything within
On this ship I set sail
But the mission has failed
And I'm stranded here all by myself
I'm So alone, on a capsized boat!
I dragged myself to the bottom of the
ocean (I'm sinking down)
I'm trapped below, Only thing I know is
I've Chased my throne to the bottom of
the ocean of my soul
How did I get here?
I set the compass
To the west
I marked which way to steer
And set out on my
Selfish quest
Get me out alive
I repent of my mistake
Can you save this life?
Answer me for heavens sake
I'm the one who owns the blame
I was trying to run away
Now I see my own mistake
But I'm afraid that it's too late
My last seconds floating by
My destruction in my eyes
As these moments pass me by
To you alone I cry
Then it comes to my surprise
That you're lifting up my eyes
To see the answer you provide
And my spirit is revived
Build 3
Then I feel my weary soul
As you start to fill the holes
Your love has made an open door
A gateway to the shore
Hold my breath so I can swim
Towards the light that's pouring in
Swimming up to open sea
Where your light is all around me
I still have so far to go
But I know I'm not alone
You will carry me carry me back to my
home
Where I know I'm not my own
As I gaze into the sun
Feel this anchor come undone
Though it seemed that death had won
Your mercy has overcome

Get me out
Get me out
Get me out of here
Take my doubt
Take my doubt
Or I'll disappear
I'm about
I'm about
To Slip away
Find me now
Find me now
I'm blind today
I am in the bottom of the blackest ocean
I've got to live to see another day
In these dark Waters
The pressure just won't let me go
I've been hiding in the shadows
I've been lost in the unknown
In these dark Waters
You might find me here right now
But I believe that I will one day see the skies above
So get me out alive
Can I breathe
Can i breathe
In disarray
Can I see
Can I see
Or is it faith
Hold me back
Hold me back
You know the way
Take the black
Take the black
And give me day
Get me out alive
Get me out alive
I am not my own
I've been bought with a price
Paid by you alone
You have promised me life

Lifeboat
04:26

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watch effortlessly to see the shore from
an open sea
Weightless, and never ending, I've tried my
patience but it's dwindling
I'm giving up on any chance of getting better
Floating in a sea of unrest
Prechorus
Can you come rescue me?
I can't tread this water forever
I'm in desperate need
I need to move on
Everything I wanted was
Stolen that night
Right out of my cold hands (I lost it all)
My only hope was inside a plight
What matters, I need my innocence again
You are a lifeboat saving my life
You are my lifeboat and you're bringing me back home
I feel the open air surrounding me on
every side
How could I be so blind to miss the
opportunities behind
I'm sick and tired of looking back to all
the nightmares of my past
I'm drifting towards a new horizon
Back home
You're watching me watching me from
your throne
You have shown
That you know where I, know where I, I should go
Where I should Go!

Isn't it funny how we tend to
Try to fight our own way through
When all we have to do
Is give it over to you
You prove to us over and over
That we cant win this war
Youre showing us even after
We tried to breakdown the door
Oh
We're all castaways
And we can't steer clear
Of danger
oh oh
Its buried underneath
We've run so far away
But we can't forget
The anger
Oh no
Let's abandon the debris
In my dreams It's an obsession
But I can't see through their intention
I'm caught inside the intermission
Never to be seen again
I need a cure for this infection
Take a risk to dodge the next one
Try to find a new direction
I'm gonna find an end
We're the ones who ran astray
It set us back but we won't wait
Our time to fight the setbacks is now
Press on through the debris
Take it back and then you'll see
That we can live it out

Resuscitate Me
04:51

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are an escape
A wave thats sealing my fate
You know all my mistakes
But you take them away
waste no time!
I'm nearly a dead man now
Don't leave me
In the water
I'll never make it out alone
I'm hopless on my own
You know me
You know all that's behind me
And this water in my lungs has poisoned
me for long enough
Recusitate me
I'm not the one whose worthy
I know that I am filthy
You could cast me down a million times and I would still be guilty
You called me
Out of the depths of my disgrace
And you tell me of the glorious adventure that awaits
I'm nearly a dead man now
You are the only answer and I need a way out
You're making all things new
I'm ready now to have a heart that beats for you

Night fall is when I fall to sleep
But tonight all the stars are out and I cant help but think
About your majesty and the mystery
And suddenly I'm in between
Infinity and the end of me and how you intercede
I'll proceed to take a dive into your eternity
Gazing at the stars
As I wonder who you are
Floating in the dark
I've already come this far
You're navigating me
To Where I need to be
By the stars reflecting
off the midnight sea
Your power is unstoppable
And you show me how you hold it all
With full control. You hold my soul
So I extol you for everything you are
You take me far. So high above
Every situation. I'm taken by you love you have my heart. Use me as you want.
I'm following the stars
Show me where you are
You can have my heart
Show me where to start

Flash before my eyes
At once I recognize
The deep heavy air
The force to victimize
The bonds of the memories threatening me killing me. Can't you see? I've lost the fight
It's happening again
All over again
Someone come and save me
From this dream I'm in
Wake me up
I've had enough of this feeling
I think I'm in a nightmare
It feels so real and everyone is right there
Tell me it's only a dream
I'm falling apart
All over again
I'm trapped in the night
That might have been the end
I think I'm in a nightmare
I am your past
The debris from your path
I live in your mind. Forever hold you back
Remembering everything severing recklessly
Watching it all just fall away!
The dream is real
No one's gonna save you
Save your breath
You'll be gone forever
Wake me up!

Spent the past year of my life
Wondering why
I always feel left behind
Almost let it all pass me by
Locked up inside
The prison of my own mind
I'm not gonna let this
Leave me defenseless
I'm in the fight of my life
I'll stand up and face it
I know I can take it
I'm gonna win tonight
The nightmares I have of my past
Try to remind me
Of what I lack
They always try to set me back
But I will press on
Through their worst attack
I'm done with this stupid game
Of trying to erase the pain
And fix all the heartache myself
You give me strength and
you give me pacience
Take me home as well
I wait on the edge of the sea
I know what I'm ready to be
From these chains I am free
Free from everything that ever told me I wasn't ready
To take the next step in this
new direction
To finally break the trend
I think I'm almost at my journey's End
Ima Take a new direction I'm
Gonna break apart deception
Gonna find the end and make amends so I can send away the imperfection
I don't know how I expected to create an interception by the way I tried to take away the weight the promise of repentance
I'm alive right now and I ain't finished
With the life that I've been givin'
Gonna keep on livin'
Ain't the perfect kid but I admit it that I have a perfect king who over did it by his perfect love, the way he went to live it. Gave his life so we could put it in a sentence. I accept the savior in my heart so I can learn his true forgiveness and forgive them from within

Losing patience once again
Tired of being tossed about by the waves and the wind
Will this journey ever end?
Then I look up to the distance and I see a place to land
I see the shore from afar
And I know in my heart
That at last I've arrived
Through it all I survived
As I near the solid ground
Of this new hope I have found
You assure me that it's safe
To run to your embrace
Come my child to the shore
Don't look back there any more
You have been through the storm
And I'm the one who's brought you home
I will always carry you
In the storms your going through
I'll be with you forever
