"The Only Beat That's True"

I'm tired of getting hurt
Of trying to make amends
And end up mending wounds
That I only made much worse

I'm tired of feeling alone
Of losing all my friends
To this descending mess around me
That I somehow call my home

[chorus]
Did you know that I love you?
I can feel it burning through
Every time my heart feels like it's tearing apart
It's the only beat that's true

I can't seem to close my eyes
When all the world begins to groan
Beneath broken bones out in the night
No, not this time

And I can't stand to watch this go
Down that same destructive road
I see the way we're reaping
Every seed we've ever sown

[chorus]
Did you know that I love you?
I can feel it burning through
Every time my heart feels like it's tearing apart
It's the only beat that's true
And it's beating out for you
For you...

[bridge]
And this pain contained inside
Will all pour out and breathe new life
Because a heart's capacity for love
Is marked by the scars that are brought to light

[chorus]

"Awake"

It's Friday night
Spilling into Saturday
And I feel all worn out
In this cold midnight
I've seen my better days
My heart filled up with doubt

I feel like every moment I've been half-asleep
Days passing by and I'm here, but only lucidly

[chorus]
I just want to wake up
I just want to wake up
I just want to feel like I'm alive
As days move by me endlessly
I'm always in and out of sleep
I'm breaking down, awaken me inside

At the dawning light
Will this look the same
Or will it shift again?
If only my own foresight
Could see past this mundane
State of mind that I've been in

[chorus]

[bridge]
I'm dreaming of the day when this will end
When my eyes are opened wide by the sunlight once again
I can't see when that will be, neither the where nor when
So until then, I'll just be dreaming, dreaming...

[chorus]

"Someday"

I'm soaking up this pain
Like the ground after the rain
Still so focused on the hurt
That aims to take me down again
In this world, so full of hate
I regret these things I say
Bitter thoughts that I withold
For spiteful words out on display

[chorus]
But someday
All of this will fade away
Every anger-guided dagger
Will be stuck in rightful place
When the sun
Outshines our trouble and dismay
When the broken and supressed
Will leave behind this bitterness
Someday

I'm going through this life
Like I'm walking down a line
That's already drawn out
With no attention to the signs
I feel just fine
Leaving things left to decide
Like what is leading me
On the path of winding and wide

[chorus]
But someday
All of this will fade away
Everything that I've chased after
Will not last and will not stay
When the sun
Reveals the riches that remain
When I'm a broken-hearted mess
You'll wipe away all my regrets
Someday

[bridge]
Hold on, to the promise of the dawn
Hold on, this night won't last for long
Hold on, all our strife will soon be gone
Just hold on

[chorus]
Yeah, someday
All of this will fade away
Our hearts will be made new
This fallen world will be reclaimed
When the Son
Returns in golden rays
A light that shines so bright
That it will put an end to night
Someday

"Grace Will Pull You Through"

I see you consumed by bitterness
I see the way that you're convinced
That every thing you do
Is always being held against you

[chorus]
When you fall, don't stay on the ground
When you fly, remain tethered down
We all make mistakes, it's nothing new
Just know that grace will pull you through

I see your strength coming apart
The truth bleeding through from your aching heart
If only you could see
Just beyond this cold reality

And know the depth of this mystery
That covers our scars like a canopy
So let it rain down from above
And discover this tangible love

You can feel it

[chorus]

You've just got to believe, just got to believe

[bridge]
This feeling, like soaring above the clouds
I want to sing Your love and shout it out loud
This freedom, in knowing that these stains
Are washed away, they're washed away
They're washed away

[chorus]
