Humility
Doesn't mean
Acting humble when I want to be
Humility
Is when I see
A world that doesn't turn around me
[chorus]
This isn't all about me
There's no way that it could be
Millions of heartbeats
Overshadowing my own
Dreams and thoughts and memories
That never saw a glimpse of me
Breaking down the walls
Of all I've known
And come to find I'm not alone
Reality
Doesn't mean
Life through lenses that I see
Reality
Is when I see
A world that doesn't turn around me
[chorus]
This isn't all about me
There's no way that it could be
Millions of heartbeats
Overshadowing my own
Dreams and thoughts and memories
That never saw a glimpse of me
Breaking down the walls
Of all I've known
And come to find I'm not alone
I can't do this on my own
[bridge]
We are
We are
We are puzzle pieces
Put together
Put together
Fitted into masterpieces
We can't do this on our own
We can't do this on our own
[chorus]
This isn't all about me
There's no way that it could be
Millions of heartbeats
Overshadowing my own
Dreams and thoughts and memories
That never saw a glimpse of me
Breaking down the walls
Of all I've known
And come to find I'm not alone
And come to find I'm not alone
(Pieces, pieces)
(Masterpieces, pieces)
And come to find I'm not alone

"In Your Eyes"
This is where our worlds converge
This is what we call the merge
When everything that's held me down
You take and display on the ground
So I can see, all I'm really meant to be
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
You see through my disguise
In Your Eyes
You shed truth from all the lies
In Your Eyes
I'm laid bare beneath Your skies
In Your Eyes...
You know where my heart has been
But still You want to take me in
I could run a thousand miles
But You would chase me all the while
If only I, would turn around and look...
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
Where the hope I'm chasing lies
In Your Eyes
Where there is no compromise
In Your Eyes
Where I see me stabilized
In Your Eyes
In Your Eyes
[bridge]
Now there's a bridge between my heart and Yours
I know that building it was not an easy chore
But something happened when I opened up the door
And now I see so much clearer than before..
Would You show me what I look like
In Your Eyes
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
I'm Your most sought-after prize
In Your Eyes
All the dead inside me dies
In Your Eyes
I'm already seated at Your side
In Your Eyes
In Your Eyes
This is what we call the merge
When everything that's held me down
You take and display on the ground
So I can see, all I'm really meant to be
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
You see through my disguise
In Your Eyes
You shed truth from all the lies
In Your Eyes
I'm laid bare beneath Your skies
In Your Eyes...
You know where my heart has been
But still You want to take me in
I could run a thousand miles
But You would chase me all the while
If only I, would turn around and look...
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
Where the hope I'm chasing lies
In Your Eyes
Where there is no compromise
In Your Eyes
Where I see me stabilized
In Your Eyes
In Your Eyes
[bridge]
Now there's a bridge between my heart and Yours
I know that building it was not an easy chore
But something happened when I opened up the door
And now I see so much clearer than before..
Would You show me what I look like
In Your Eyes
[chorus]
In Your Eyes
I'm Your most sought-after prize
In Your Eyes
All the dead inside me dies
In Your Eyes
I'm already seated at Your side
In Your Eyes
In Your Eyes

"Just Let Go"
I want to say what's on my mind
Outside the world of written lines
What will they think about me?
What will they think about me?
I want the courage to be bold
And do what's right without being told
What will they say about me?
What will they say about me?
[chorus]
Give me just a glimspe
Of the person I could be
If I could just let go
Of all that stands around me
Give me one more chance
To hold onto You faithfully
Is it something learned in time
Or does it start with just the little things?
In all of the Things You ever said
Connecting the dots inside my head
What should I care what they think of me
When You're the one who really knows me
So is it true that I'm in Your plan?
That I'm called to be a better man
Than the one that I used to be
Oh, just to know that You think of me
[chorus]
Give me just a glimpse
Of the person I could be
If I could just let go
Of all that stands around me
Give me one more chance
To hold onto You faithfully
Is it something learned it time
Or does it start with just the little things?
[bridge]
Oh Lord, I fall
When I my ears turn away from Your call
The reason is all
Of the lies flood in from over the walls
That I built brick by brick
Acts of defiance, all hand-picked
From the choicest of all my sin
That I dug up from deep within
All I want is all You hate
All I want is all You hate
All that's left is to bend and break
Under You
Under You
Outside the world of written lines
What will they think about me?
What will they think about me?
I want the courage to be bold
And do what's right without being told
What will they say about me?
What will they say about me?
[chorus]
Give me just a glimspe
Of the person I could be
If I could just let go
Of all that stands around me
Give me one more chance
To hold onto You faithfully
Is it something learned in time
Or does it start with just the little things?
In all of the Things You ever said
Connecting the dots inside my head
What should I care what they think of me
When You're the one who really knows me
So is it true that I'm in Your plan?
That I'm called to be a better man
Than the one that I used to be
Oh, just to know that You think of me
[chorus]
Give me just a glimpse
Of the person I could be
If I could just let go
Of all that stands around me
Give me one more chance
To hold onto You faithfully
Is it something learned it time
Or does it start with just the little things?
[bridge]
Oh Lord, I fall
When I my ears turn away from Your call
The reason is all
Of the lies flood in from over the walls
That I built brick by brick
Acts of defiance, all hand-picked
From the choicest of all my sin
That I dug up from deep within
All I want is all You hate
All I want is all You hate
All that's left is to bend and break
Under You

"What Does It Mean?"
I know
I know
I know with all my heart
That this will be the death of me
When I go
I go
I go back to start
Of everything I used to be
But you keep on
Holding on
And I'm still not sure why
Am I really what you want?
[chorus]
What does it mean to turn away?
What does it mean to run into Your arms?
What do I do to get away
Back to the place where I know I belong?
Where I belong
And I know
I know
I know this is the enemy
Trying to derail me from the track
When I go
I go
I go back to the worst of me
And question why You'd ever take me back
And I keep on
Holding on
And I'm still not sure why
I cling to all the things I want
[chorus]
What does it mean to turn away?
What does it mean to run into Your arms?
What do I do to get away
Back to the place where I know I belong?
Where I belong
[bridge]
I've traded You
Away so many times
Convinced that comfort's
Something I can find
But that's not where I fit
Not in Your design
Bring me back to You
O Spring of Life
[outro]
I'm thirsty and dying
I'm tired of trying
I can't seem to
Pick myself up this time
I can see Your light
From across the divide
And feel the hope
For something better deep inside
I know
I know with all my heart
That this will be the death of me
When I go
I go
I go back to start
Of everything I used to be
But you keep on
Holding on
And I'm still not sure why
Am I really what you want?
[chorus]
What does it mean to turn away?
What does it mean to run into Your arms?
What do I do to get away
Back to the place where I know I belong?
Where I belong
And I know
I know
I know this is the enemy
Trying to derail me from the track
When I go
I go
I go back to the worst of me
And question why You'd ever take me back
And I keep on
Holding on
And I'm still not sure why
I cling to all the things I want
[chorus]
What does it mean to turn away?
What does it mean to run into Your arms?
What do I do to get away
Back to the place where I know I belong?
Where I belong
[bridge]
I've traded You
Away so many times
Convinced that comfort's
Something I can find
But that's not where I fit
Not in Your design
Bring me back to You
O Spring of Life
[outro]
I'm thirsty and dying
I'm tired of trying
I can't seem to
Pick myself up this time
I can see Your light
From across the divide
And feel the hope
For something better deep inside

"The Breaking"
Are you sure that this is what you want
Is there any clear direction
Or are you searching for a cause
Rather than leaning on perfection
It always starts this way
And it will always end the same
A question asked followed by the task
Of keeping all your doubts at bay
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Tear the dead out of my heart
There's a reason why it's called the breaking dawn
My heart storms endlessly
Caught in a raging sea
Of jagged waves I'm sad to say
I created here in me
If I could walk along the shore
And not have to do this anymore
And see all my dismay from far away
Would I find what I'm looking for?
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Tear the dead out of my heart
There's a reason why it's call the breaking dawn
Break me, come on
[bridge]
Each desire of my heart begins
A whole new season
A chasing after different winds
For what real reason?
Every day is a brand new start
Every time I breathe in
Your promises renewed, what a beautiful view
To let it sink in
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Bring new life into this heart
There's a reason why it's called the breaking dawn
There's a reason why it's called the breaking
Is there any clear direction
Or are you searching for a cause
Rather than leaning on perfection
It always starts this way
And it will always end the same
A question asked followed by the task
Of keeping all your doubts at bay
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Tear the dead out of my heart
There's a reason why it's called the breaking dawn
My heart storms endlessly
Caught in a raging sea
Of jagged waves I'm sad to say
I created here in me
If I could walk along the shore
And not have to do this anymore
And see all my dismay from far away
Would I find what I'm looking for?
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Tear the dead out of my heart
There's a reason why it's call the breaking dawn
Break me, come on
[bridge]
Each desire of my heart begins
A whole new season
A chasing after different winds
For what real reason?
Every day is a brand new start
Every time I breathe in
Your promises renewed, what a beautiful view
To let it sink in
[chorus]
Release me
From this chain of misery
Stringing me along
Release me
Bring new life into this heart
There's a reason why it's called the breaking dawn
There's a reason why it's called the breaking

"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]
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

"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]
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]
