"Follow"

Your eyes were all aglow
As you watched the sun go down
On the little piece of world you know
And the peace you've found

Now you're finally home
Back where you belong
The fire in your heart
Is still beating strong

So don't give up hope
Don't give up hope

This life's a fragile thing
Our hearts can turn to and fro
The ground is always crumbling
But we shouldn't let go

And you're not alone
Though it probably feels you are
It's not the end of the world
It's just how the healing starts

[chorus]
Follow it inside, and though you've tried to hide your sorrow
Be tested and tried, all the strength you've had to borrow
Just don't give up hope
Don't give up on all you know
The days ahead have been decided
They're well-lighted
If you follow

Now there's a spark of life
It's flooding to your face
As all-consuming love ignites
And fills your eyes with grace

You're seeing through the storm
Onto the other side
This chapter's coming to a close
But you've still got so much life

[chorus]
Follow it inside, and though you've tried to hide your sorrow
Be tested and tried, all the strength you've had to borrow
Just don't give up hope
Don't give up on all you know
The days ahead have been decided
They're well-lighted
If you follow
If you follow

[chorus]
Just don't give up hope
Don't give up on all you know
The days ahead have been decided
They're well-lighted
If you follow

Follow, follow

Your eyes were all aglow
As you watched the sun go down...

"Broken And Poor"

I need to settle down
And work this out
Cause I don't like what
I see in me now

I've never felt this way before
I know I'm getting worse, I'm just not sure
If I can even point
To the right direction anymore

Ever since black became white
In the blurring lines
Where hate is your love
And love feels like a lie

[chorus]
Is there a single heart beat
That can sing above defeat
And sink deep
Into the very heart of me
I want love to find me
Broken and poor
I want love to find me
The way I was before

I remember when
I thought that I could win
By playing my own game
In my eyes, undefeated

Till I saw that there was more
So dessimated, but so sure
I could never go back to the way
It used to be before

Ever since you shone your light
And your love was bright
My heart was alive
Can we go back to that night

[chorus]
Is there a single heartbeat
That can sing above defeat
And sink deep
Into the very heart of me
I need love to find me
Broken and poor
I need love to find me
The way it did before

When your love descended
When I begged for you to send it
To me
Now I'm here again
Won't you bring me to my knees

I need love to find me
I need love to find me
The way it did before
I need love to find me
Cause I can't see it anymore

"I Care About You"

I know you probably figure
That I don't care much at all
I resurrect these see-through walls
Through inconsistent calls

In the span of time between us
There's always so much going on
I catch the highlights of your life
But never as much as I want

[chorus]
And I still don't know
Why it's so hard to figure out
It's so hard to show
Maybe cause I don't know how
Caught in my throat
The words that never leave my mouth
I care about you so
Even though I don't know how
To show it

You probably think
That my mind is somewhere else
But I drift to you every time
I ever get to think, myself

And I haven't figured out
Why it's so hard just to stop
Put the rest on hold to let you know
That I still do care a lot

[chorus]
And I still don't know
Why it's so hard to figure out
It's so hard to show
Maybe cause I don't know how
Caught in my throat
The words that never leave my mouth
I care about you
Even though I don't know how
To show it

I tend to bail, I know I flake
There's no disguising my mistakes
Just to let you know the fault's my own
And what you mean to me has never changed
Though time may paint it wrong
I'm just sorry that it took so long
To say

[chorus]
That I still don't know
Why it's so hard to figure out
It's so hard to show
Maybe cause I don't know how
Caught in my throat
The words that never leave my mouth
I care about you so
Even though I don't know how
To show it
I think I finally figured out
How to show it

"Bitterness"

Bitterness
Sows so deep
You only reap, much more of it
Than you could ever dream
Thought you could dip your feet in
But find yourself downstream

And all the tears you shed
Like fire falling out your burning head
Thought you'd be safe, instead
Your old scars are now the new wounds, freshly bled

Your heart can only take so much
Before you finally side and give it up
Couldn't have guessed it'd ever be this tough
But selfishness and lonliness, a mix that makes your heart erupt

So take it all
And give it up

Bitterness
Sows so deep
You only reap, much more of it
Than you could ever dream
Thought you could dip your feet in
But find yourself downstream

All the initial pain
So distant, hidden behind the new wall of shame
What made you ever turn around that day
And made you want to live your life this way

And if it hurt so bad
Why not try making someone understand
That's yesterday, and you can't get it back
But it's the past so you can still move past

And move away from all the
Bitterness
Sows so deep
You only reap, much more of it
Than you could ever dream
Thought you could dip your feet in
But the current's always stronger than it seems

Some traps you can't get out of
Unless you take the route of love
And when push comes to shove
Turn the other cheek, cause there's no need to run
Yeah there's no need to run

"I Need the Truth"

I feel so helpless now
I can't move
I can't speak
I can't say a single thing
I want to say

And all these actions, undecided
I need help, I'm so divided
I live in such a strange place now
While I'm waiting for love to reach out

This is the only way I know
To get this pain out of my head
Please somebody tell me what is wrong
Can somebody tell me who I am
I'm getting so tired of the day to day
Of feeling numb, I can't overcome this

Mountains tower before me
To you they're molehills at your feet
While my failure keeps me stagnant
And I'm so tired of defeat

Every time that I try I get rejected
Makes me wanna give up being directed
At all
Stay in the same place, just a different time
If I can't win this prize, I'll make lonliness mine

I need the truth
It doesn't matter what it takes
Don't assume you know my heart
Or what can make it break
I need the truth

"Love Where Are You"

I know love when I see it
Haven't seen it in a while
I've accepted a replica
Waited patient with a smile

I've built walls all around me
Trying to keep my heart in tact
From the times I left it open
And given parts I can't get back

There's no way to explain it
But I know something's wrong

[chorus]
Love where are you
Where you been
You're what caught my eye
What pulled me in
Feels like I'm running on my own again
Not really ever knowing when
I'll find you
Oh, love where are you

Seems grace is just a dying art
We've all taken judgment's hand
Can't trust my brother not to push me down
Every time I try to make a stand

And can you take me as I am
Or were you better all along
I'm with broken sinners, while you're all winners
And you tell me that I'm wrong

And I still don't understand it
Thought love didn't come back empty-handed

[chorus]
Love where are you
Where you been
You're what caught my eye
What drew me in
Feels like I'm walking all alone again
Not ever really knowing when
I'll find you
Oh, love where are you

I want to stomp my feet
And throw my fists
Call it righteous anger
Or ignorance
All the same to me now
There's no way to live this down

Love where are you
Where you been
You're what changed my life
What saved my skin
And I'm dying to hear your voice again

[chorus]
Love where are you
Where you been
You're what caught my eye
What pulled me in
But I don't see you in a single person
God I need you
Oh, Love where are you
