Hush now, I’m here as a friend
And I’m sorry for what’s been happening
But I know that we’re kindred through the bends
Cause we know love never ends
In high school we hung out at the mall
Your mother called trying to find out where you were
And I’m pretty sure that she didn’t liked me then
But that was where it all began
There was always love that was chasing after you
In your parents calls
Trying to find out what you do
And the Holy Ghost was right there with you too
Trying to show you the truth
All those times when we took your parents car
We’d go driving through the city after dark
And we talked and cried into each other’s lives
Trying to know what was the truth
Just children doing what they do
Bush parties somewhere in Waterloo
And all the things that seemed so important then
I could almost forget
There was always love that was chasing after you
Through your parents calls
Trying to find out what you do
And the Holy Ghost was right there with you too
Trying to show you the truth
There has always been love running after you
Through your parents calls
Trying to find out what you do
And the Holy Ghost was leading me to you
Trying to show you the truth

The Divide
04:44
|

I can feel the drift between us
You and me and the divide
My hands are reaching out to you
You stand on the other side
You’ve grown up in your thinking
That it’s you against the world
Sticking up your middle finger
Thinking everyone owes you
And now death walks in
Let’s himself in into the house
Sits down
And you think that you’re infinity
Till he draws his knife
And you draw your heart to his submission
And crawl into the lion’s mouth
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out of this?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Verse 2
When there’s so many delusions
When there are so many truths
Maybe I’m confused
Sometimes I don’t know what to think or do
What’s gonna happen to our bodies
When we finally reach the end
Will any of the things we fought about matter then?
And now death walks in
Let’s himself in into the house
Sits down
And you think that you’re infinity
Till he draws his knife
And you draw your heart to his submission
And crawl into the lion’s mouth
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out of this?
Are we gonna get out?
Are we gonna get out?
Cause I don’t know what to do
I don’t know how to reach you
I’m feeling so afraid
And everyday the faces change
And change
Change and change

Yeshua
04:09
|

Are we awake or dead
The angel of light has made us deaf
As we march on the red
America, can you hear them crying
Yeshua
Our slumber on the bed
We pull the blanket over our heads
To forgive to forget
America can you hear them dying?
As we cry out
Yeshua

Tried My Best
02:43
|

I think my mouth
Has detached
From my brain and my body
I cannot figure out
How to please everybody
I think of words
In my head
And try making the flesh connect
To this world
That I’m in
And to be as the Spirit is
I tried my best
To express it
I start to stress
Is it worth it
Oh, Lamb of God
Lift me up
In a chariot of fire
I’m burning out
And I’m scared
That my friends are tired
Of me
I tried
To express it
I start to stress
And oppress it
These properties
Do not matter
Eternally
Or to the Father

Mary’s always going on about something
Sitting outside Alexis Nihon mall
She says if I could find a way
If it would get better
I know it I know it I know that could be something
And then Christopher and Ray are in the park
Keeping it together in each others arms
Trying to fight
Trying to find
People, ordinary people
Extraordinary
And I want to be a Hollywood movie star with all the facades that it’s made of
How do these people have it all
I just want a part playing stadium art
I got millennial stress in 21st century unrest
Finding every little way for everyone to know my name
And I’m tired of trying
I’m tired of trying
Tired of trying

Forever Evermore
05:30

Morning
There’s the sense of dread again
I pull myself out of bed
And knock at your door
I lay it all down before you
My knuckles start getting bruised
How long lord, how long
Cause the pens out of ink
And the coffee is cold
And the rivers frozen over
How do you use a heart of stone
When even the St. Lawrence river still flows
In the middle of the winter
How long do I keep knocking, Lord
As a deer pants
In search of water
I search for my Father
With all that I have
Oh why, soul
Why are you so downcast
And always so quick to forget
The truths you were told
Cause the pens out of ink
And the coffee is cold
And the rivers frozen over
How do you use a heart of stone
When even the St. Lawrence river still flows
In the middle of the winter
How long do I keep knocking, Lord
Though the fig tree won’t bud
No fruit on the vines
And the barn stalls are all empty
I will tread upon this suffering
I will wait for the mountain to fall in the sea
I will fly upon the eagle
I will shelter underneath His wings
And together in flight he’ll make me soar
Over that frozen river
Into forever evermore
