Burn This Skin

Help me burn this skin
I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in
 It’s as if there’s a special place in hell
For the sins that I have held
I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be

It’s so funny to realize how perspective changes everything
We keep lying to ourselves and blame it on anything, on anything
Feeding off of drama like a parasite feeds on blood of death
We kill ourselves from the inside just to be like the rest 

Help me burn this skin
I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in
 It’s as if there’s a special place in hell
For the sins that I have held
I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be

Men use love just to get sexual pleasure
Degrading beauty, we slowly lose our treasure
Women giving themselves away to be loved
Yet they still get disposed of
God, what have we done
Please take us back to where we begun

Help me burn this skin
I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in
 It’s as if there’s a special place in hell
For the sins that I have held
I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be

God, I’m screaming out for you
In a world of pain, I thirst for truth
I beg for more, for more than this
I’ve lived life in the worst abyss
I need my Father’s embrace
I need to be saved by grace

Momentary Pleasures

Every night I fall
Always hitting a brick wall
Failures always come
Thoughts of what I’ve become
Makes me want to die

Momentary pleasures
Giving up these treasures 
Changing who I was
Regretting who I am
Always falling for
Momentary pleasures

I’m always longing for love
Reaching out for my dove
But why the hell can’t I stay true
And I know I’m always loosing you

Momentary pleasures
Giving up these treasures
Changing who I was
Regretting who I am
Always falling for
Momentary pleasures

Am I worth it at all
If I say I’m strong
Why do I always fall
I need to find my way back to faith
Before everything’s too late

Answered Prayer

Brokenness is nothing new to me
Life without hope is all I've seen
This road I've walked upon called life
This is my war, this is my fight
But through the pain, God gave me beauty through the rain

Oh baby can you please tell me what's on your mind
I truly believe God created our paths to intertwine
You are something different, something beautiful inside 
The very thoughts of you makes my heart come alive 
I don't know what the future holds 
But I want to spend it with you as our lives unfold
One promise I can swear
Baby I don't want to lose this answered prayer

I'm not the easiest person to love 
I often forget my worth from up above 
I'll push people away because I think I deserve the pain
I guess it's easier than you think to be content in chains
But I've learned that it's selfish to think I'm not enough 
When so many people offer me their love

Oh baby can you please tell me what's on your mind
I truly believe God created our paths to intertwine 
You are something different, something beautiful inside 
The very thoughts of you makes my heart come alive 
I don't know what the future holds 
But I want to spend it with you as our lives unfold 
I know I can't go to fast
Because I want us to be built on something that will last
But one promise I can swear
Baby I don't want to lose this answered prayer

Lifelong Stories

You and I 
Suicide
Never knowing what it means
To bleed
Never touching the dreams
You need 
Just bleed 

Thoughts glimpse inside
Glimpse inside the mind 
They say you’re nothing
Hide your worth
They say you’re nothing
Dead from birth 

We all want to be
Want to be
What they want us to be
We all wanna see 
Wanna see the light
Open up your eyes
See inside the light 
This is our story
Give God the glory 

Down the medication
Take it all in 
Put another line inside the wrist
Maybe it’ll block out the fist 
What does this life even mean
What is a happy dream 

We all want to be
Want to be
What they want us to be
We all wanna see 
Wanna see the light
Open up your eyes
See inside the light 
This is our story
Give God the glory

Lovers seem to fade
Fade into the grey
Families tear apart
Rip out your heart 
No one seems to care
If you go no where
No one seems to cry
If you sleep at night 

We all want to be
Want to be
What they want us to be
We all wanna see 
Wanna see the light
Open up your eyes
See inside the light 
This is our story
Give God the glory

Thoughts glimpse inside
Glimpse inside the mind 
They say you’re nothing
Hide your worth
They say you’re nothing
Dead from birth

Just run
Run away
Death is not the end
Heaven send 
There’s something greater
In the air
God we need you now 
There must be more
More than this 

 We all want to be
Want to be
What they want us to be
We all wanna see 
Wanna see the light
Open up your eyes
See inside the light 
This is our story
Give God the glory

Low Self-Esteem

Sometimes I wish I had more of a story to tell
A story of abuse or divorce
Sometimes I wish I could blame this all on hell
A story of true remorse

I'm not sure if it was my speech impediment 
Or relationships based on lust
I'm not sure if it stemmed from my first broken heart 
Or if it was just misplaced trust

All I know is I drown in my own demons 
And they always win
I don't know if I'll ever know the reasons 
I fall into sin

I always love to listen to their stories
Of broken hearts and broken dreams
I can't sleep till I see them through the morning
Silencing the silent screams

I love to push the pain away
Burying it for another day
I'm the first to reach out a helping hand 
Even when I'm the one drowning 
In the sinking sand

I'm not an expert on anything 
Everything I touch seems to fall apart 
I feel like I've been given everything 
No matter what 
Everything I touch seems to fall apart 

God
Give me grace 
Give me love 
Give me something 
I can be sure of 
Because these drunken nights alone 
I can't take much more of
I need your guidance 
I need your grace 
To save me from my 

Low self-esteem

Stand On Your Own Two Feet

What will you do when you lose everything you own
How will you feel when you lose everything you once called home

Don't you know
They'll stab you through the heart
They'll bring you to your knees
They won't let you go
Until you lose your faith
So stand up to the ground
Don't let them bring you down
Put your faith in God
Don't let them bring you down

Are you prepared to lose your friends, your family
Are you willing to walk the streets alone
Do you have faith in God above
Do you know what it truly means to fall in love

So
Stand on your own two feet
Hold on to what is true
This world is a scary place
But God has blessed us with love we can't replace

Don't you know
They'll stab you through the heart
They'll bring you to your knees 
They won't let you go
Until you lose your faith
So stand up to the ground
Don't let them bring you down
Put your faith in God
Don't let them bring you down

When these troubles come
Please my friend
Don't give into the fear of death
When these troubles come
Please my friend
Hold on to your faith
Never lose what is true to you

So 
Stand on your own two feet
Hold on to what is true
This world is a scary place
But God has blessed us with love we can't replace

What will you do when you lose everything you own
How will you feel when you lose everything you once called home

The Difference Between You and I

You say you deserve this world
You want everything it’s got
You say you deserve it all
That’s the difference between you and I

I know I deserve hell
To be burned with my sins tonight 
I’m such a shameful disgrace
How can one look me in the face

What you do in the dark
Will only be magnified 
When it’s brought to the light 
Everyone has their secrets
Didn’t you know you couldn’t keep it 

You say you deserve this world
You want everything it’s got
You say you deserve it all
That’s the difference between you and I

The pleasures of the present 
Will later not seem so pleasant 
When you have to look God in the face
And tell Him everything you’ve done wrong

If only someone could read your mind
Or take a look into your soul
They would see your innocence is just an act
Don’t you know you better run and hide

You say you deserve this world
You want everything it’s got
You say you deserve it all
That’s the difference between you and I

I know I deserve hell
To be burned with my sins tonight 
I’m such a shameful disgrace
How can one look me in the face

You’re looking for the promise land
But you don’t have God’s grace at hand
You’ve denied everything he has given you
So now God’s mercy is through with you

I chose to trust in God
And I took his hand through the end
I denied my sinful ways
That’s the difference between you and I

Friends Through It All

This Lyric is dedicated to my best friends in my life, I couldn't make it through life without you!  

All these thoughts in my head
They’re so dangerous
All these thoughts in my mind
Leaving me in the abyss
I’m a prisoner of my head
I hope to God I don’t wind up dead
Lost in the cold of the night
Giving up the fight
I can’t do this on my own

Thank God
I’ve got my brothers up a head of me
And my sisters at my side
They’ve always been there for me
Through the pain they could never see
I’ve known I’ve won
When it’s all said and done
At the end I’ve got my friends
And that’s all I need

This journey’s so cold
Having no one to hold
This night’s so dark
Without love’s spark
We can’t be made
To live life alone 
We gotta be more
Than a sinking stone 

Thank God
I’ve got my brothers up a head of me
And my sisters at my side
They’ve always been there for me
Through the pain they could never see
I’ve known I’ve won
When it’s all said and done
At the end I’ve got my friends
And that’s all I need

I can’t go back to where I began 
Stuck in the sinking sand
I must continue on this road
Carrying such a heavy load
Because I know there’s a light
At the end of it all
No matter how many times I fall
I have received God’s grace
And such a loving embrace
I must learn to 
Live 
Laugh
And Love
At the end of it all

Thank God
I’ve got my brothers up a head of me
And my sisters at my side
They’ve always been there for me
Through the pain they could never see
I’ve known I’ve won
When it’s all said and done
At the end I’ve got my friends
And that’s all I need
	
Live
Laugh
And love

Reach For the Sky

Verse 1:
Am I dreaming
Why can’t I explain this feeling
Doesn’t anyone see
This isn’t who I’m supposed to be

Chorus:
Reach for the Sky!
And maybe someday you’ll fly
Reach for the Sky!
And don’t let them ask you why
Chase for you’re dreams!
Find out what this really means
Maybe everything isn’t what it seems!

Verse 2:
Such fear of losing
Disappointment always haunting
Sometimes this makes me wonder
Are these fears just taking me under
I need to find an escape 
Before everything’s too late 

Chorus
Reach for the Sky!
And maybe someday you’ll fly
Reach for the Sky!
And don’t let them ask you why
Chase for you’re dreams!
Find out what this really means
Maybe everything isn’t what it seems!


Verse 3:	
This is no longer amusing
I’m finished with losing
I need to finally start my life
No longer living under your strife
I’m building up the courage that I lack
To not let anyone hold me back

Chorus
Reach for the Sky!
And maybe someday you’ll fly
Reach for the Sky!
And don’t let them ask you why
Chase for your dreams!
Find out what this really means
Maybe everything isn’t what it seems!

Waiting For My Cinderella

I’m chasing every cliché 
Even waiting for you out in the rain
If that’s what I got to do
To take me to you

I’m holding on the these shoes
Waiting for my Cinderella
Longing for those I do’s
Waiting for my Cinderella

Believing in every love song 
Thinking of you all night long
I’m running this race for you
Holding on to what is true

I’m holding on the these shoes
Waiting for my Cinderella
Longing for those I do’s
Waiting for my Cinderella

Looking at the midnight sky
Inspires me to fly
Dreaming of your lips
Desiring such a magical kiss
 
I’m holding on the these shoes
Waiting for my Cinderella
Longing for those I do’s
Waiting for my Cinderella
