"Relapse"

Am I deluded now
My life is upside-down
Walking into the depths
Like I was flying to the heavens

My heart is torn to pieces
Feels like I'm breathing in diseases
With every step I take
But I can't seem to turn around

I'd invite you to step into the brokenness
If there was an opening at all
Don't know if I would let you even if there was a door

[chorus]
When you said
You only wanted all of me
I didn't realize the cost
And now I ask
Is there nothing I can do
Any other way to get across

My empty sense of peace
Is catching up with me
I never wanted to question you
Just the things that I believe

[chorus]

[bridge]
My heart is breaking
I'm breaking
I want to understand
But I keep saying
If you can gather me up
And make me whole again
Destroy these insecurities
Only then I'd let you in

TBW: "Coffee Is A Drug"

Alright, last song for throwback week. A little late on this one cause I didn't realize it wasn't Sunday anymore, but I know that none of you mind. So without any delay, here you go!
---------------------------------------------

Coffee is a drug, my friends
You're all to meet your bitter end
You can sugarcoat it all you want
But you can't hide your habits in a restaurant

Once you're hooked, it just ain't pretty
'Cause there's no half-and-half, there's no fifty-fifty
You're diving in head-first, it's more like a cannonball
When the morning's over you're just gonna hit another wall

[chorus]
You're stuck in a rut
That's as deep as a cup
Is it ever gonna be enough?
I'm begging you right now
Put the creamer and sugar down
Your shaking hands clutched to your mug
It tells me
Coffee is a drug

Skip the needles, skip the pills
All you need is a cup to get your little fill
Your addiction is sickening, it's making me ill
You're spiralling downward in your caffenated thrill

You say "I'll take a latte, make it a grande
I need my coffee, so deliciously frothy
Don't even think about it, not gonna stop me
I've got the coffee, it's not the coffee that's got me!"

[chorus]
You're stuck in a rut
That's as deep as a cup
Is it ever gonna be enough?
I'm begging you right now
Put the creamer and sugar down
Your shaking hands clutched to your mug
It tells me
Coffee is a drug

[bridge]
Is there a cure for tiredness?
A remedy that's wireless?
'Cause wired's the only way you like to be
The only way you function properly

[chorus]
You're stuck in a rut (You've gotta give it up)
That's as deep as a cup (You've gotta give it up)
No, it'll never be enough
I'm begging you right now
Look for a pick-me-up that doesn't get you down
You've got to give it up
Because
Coffee is a drug

TBW: "Here"

I've come a long way in such a short time
Feels like my world just shifted axis tonight
You've taken hold of all the things I hold tight
Change comes like a hurricane sometimes

Ooo-ooh, untie these ropes
They've strangled out my every hope

I'm sorry brother have I failed you again?
I'm sorry sister, don't know where to begin
Father forgive me for this mess that I'm in
My life's a trainwreck but Your goodness will win

Ooo-ooh, these highs and lows
I'm still so scared of letting go

[chorus]
Everything that led me here
The walls that fell and disappeared
I wouldn't take a different route
The future still remains unclear
But I am giving up on fear
And wait to meet You here and now
Right here and now

TBW: "Tunnel Vision"

A narrow mind, a narrow view
You only see what's in front of you
Blinded by all the things you know
But what do you know?

You only focus on the things
That you're positive that you can see
But you don't see much when
You're looking through a hole, ooh

[chorus]
You still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Once you open your eyes
I can't explain
This motion set in place
That made me realize

A world of black surrounding you
Unaware of this thing that's containing you
Is this really the place you call your home
Or is there more you want to know?

There's a light in the distance you can see
That you've always said you couldn't reach
But every step that takes you there
Brings you closer to understanding

[chorus]
And you still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Once you open your eyes
I can't explain
This motion set in place
That made me realize

[bridge]
You were meant to know
There's still time to be set free
Hope is at your side
You can't feel it yet but soon you'll see

You'll see
You'll see
And all will see

[chorus]
But you still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Till you stop drawing lines
Like the wind in the trees
Or the air sculpting the seas
Some things you can't define

And you still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Until you open your eyes
In tunnel vision
You can't see what you're missing
The brighter part of life

TBW: "Jump"

If you really believe in me, believe me now
If you really depend on me, let your defenses down
If you really have faith in me, then why are you still running around?
Take rest in me, take rest in me

If you really are changed in me, be formed anew
If my love is really strong then let it rule over you
When you feel like you don't belong, forget what you once knew
You belong to me, you belong to me

[chorus]
My child, there are still wars to be won
But right now all I need is your obedience
You know just who I Am, but now you need to trust
'Cause every leap of faith
Requires that you jump

If you really confide in me, give me your heart
I want the whole thing, not just any given part
The sooner you let go, the sooner the healing starts
Give it all to me, give it all to me

[chorus]
My child, there are still wars to be won
But right now all I need is your obedience
You know just who I Am, but now you need to trust
'Cause every leap of faith
Requires that you jump

Jump
Come on and jump

If you're really on fire for me, be set aflame
Be ignited by the power of my name
If you feel like you're burning out, remember why I came
To die for you, to pay the price for you

Ooo-oooh
Ooo-oooh

TBW: "Drifting"

I hold on
Far too long
To these words that you say
You were right
By my side
But now you're drifting away

[chorus]
So was this really all
Just a means to an end
When in the creases of your face
I see the places that you been
I know I'll never see you
In the same way again
But why can't you see the same you
That I saw then

Watching you
Slowly move
Far from where you began
I can't speak
You're out of reach
Don't want to see my outstretched hand

[chorus]
So how do I move on
And how can I pretend
When in the creases of your face
I see the places that you've been
I know I'll never see you
In the same way again
Why can't you see the same you
That I saw
Why can't you see the same you
That I saw then

[breakdown/bridge]
Forgive and forget
I'm not sure if I'm ready yet
When I'm lost in regret
And stuck with all these things
Stuck with all these things I never said

There are no
Things to show
To say I've truly moved on
I could run
From all I've done
But this heartbreak will never be gone

TBW: "Lighthouse"

I'm looking 'round and
This joy's resounding
Your light shining
And You're finding me
Just like the beacon
That I've been seeking
To come and save me
From this crashing sea

Your luminescence
Off at a distance
I need You closer
Cause I want to feel
Your warming presence
In my existence
Since You're the only thing
I know is real

I'm clinging on to You
So I won't drift away
But these overbearing tides
Are begging me to stay

My heart is broken
These words You've spoken
Leave me defenseless
I'm surrendering
And now I realize
These tears in my eyes
Are just a mark
Of Your own suffering

Cause You are the light
That guides me home
When all is dead as night
I know I'm not alone

I hear You call out
And see the fallout
Of all the things
That blinded me before
Your love is healing
And now revealing
Every obstacle that
Kept me from the shore

[chorus]
And You guide me to the shore
So I can feel Your love restore
When all I've known is darkness in this storm
Above the waves and ocean's roar
I hear You calling, calling

I'm looking 'round and
This joy's resounding
Your light is shining
And You're finding me
