"Foreverbent"

In a minute
I'm racing
To the finish
Of what I see right now
In the moment
I'm living
Where I'm going
Is a mystery to me
I'm losing ground

[chorus]
But I know I'm better than that
Let my feelings subside
I know I'm better than that
Let go of what's inside

My heartbeat
It won't quit
It's leading
Like a compass
To a land that I should never land upon
Swimming
Toward the deepend
And losing all sense
Of what it means to be foreverbent

[chorus]
But I know I'm better than that
Let my feelings subside
I know I'm different than that
Let go of what's inside
I won't lose sight

No shame in failing
Just in giving up
Knowing what is wrong
And then still chasing it
Without a clear direction
I'll fall for everything until I stand

Eternity is hidden
In every moment that we're living
And every breath
Is another step
So take another step
Just take another step
Take another step
Just take another step

'Cause I know I'm better than that
Yeah, You taught me better than that

"Rebuild Me"

I am but a speck of dust
I am but a drop of rain
I fade away

I splatter on the pavement
One second here
Another gone

I can't seem to break away
Gravity is pulling me
I've lost my ground
Can't reach above now

[chorus]
I did not build me
How can I rebuild me
Look inside
This fragile life of mine
And try to form some light
And fill me

Never seen a tree that's green by itself
Asks the sun and the soil for help
Roots so deep, it feeds from the source
To give it life
To give it life

[chorus]
I did not build me
How can I rebuild me
Look inside
This fragile life of mine
And try to form some light

Please fill me
I can't refill me
I'm just a broken building
In dying need of restoration
Pillars built to make foundation
I did not build me
I mold together walls of sand
That blow away and slip right through my hands
Nothing that I make can stand

My mind in shackles still can't understand
That I did not
That I did not
I did not build me
I did not build me
I did not build me
So how can I rebuild me
