Weathered and Torn

Break the cycle… You created the pain Your sins are all-consuming And another price paid by fear The “blind eye” can see And the “deafened ears” know The time is here Count to zero Your lying eyes! Forsake your absolution For another false sense of life Love, hate and apathy And the feelings you kept deep inside Count to zero Create your “today” Stand tall, tomorrow may be too late Make your change And let today be your “someday” (be your “someday”) Lead the way Count to zero Don’t hesitate Begin today Count to zero Don’t walk away Seize the day Count to zero It’s not too late Keep the faith Count to zero Every single day Count to zero

The oceans are rising High water mark on the distant shore Faith is awakening Broken hearts, yearning for so much more The stars are now falling Under a bright midnight sky The tides are now turning I surrender! Please don’t leave me behind “One day, some day We will celebrate ‘tomorrow’ One day, some way We will live beyond the sorrow One day, some day We will celebrate the afterglow” Please give me another day I’ll never make it through! God, please give me one more day Another day with you “One day, some day We will celebrate ‘tomorrow’ One day, some way We will live beyond the sorrow One day, some day We will celebrate the rest of our lives One day, some way We will celebrate the best of our lives” One day, some day One day, some way One day, some way

Am I still alive? Is this all that remains of what I am? Frayed and empty Scared and withering away Never again! Never again! Never again! Not one more day! Never again! Never again! Never again! No more! Why me? What you gave you are now taking from me This war is wearing on me I’m at my breaking point now Come back down! Come back down! Come back down for Your creation! Take us home! Take us home! Take us away from this world! Weathered and torn, ashes adorned Is there no one to walk with me into the sunset? Weathered and torn, my innocence is stillborn Is there no one to cry to… will you hear me? Weathered and torn Weathered and torn, ashes adorned Is there no one to walk with me into the sunset? Weathered and torn, my innocence is reborn Is there no one to cry to… will you hear me? Don’t you cry… Don’t cry… Don’t you cry… I will carry you… I will ALWAYS carry you!

We cannot coexist! Dead faith is rising And we’re falling from grace Prophecy unfolding Of what must take place Stigmatize, polarize The devil no longer in disguise Segregate… Manipulate… Retaliate… Ignorance… Ignorance is… bliss? Compliance? Defiance? Read in-between the lines Blind faith in science? Glorifying the beast? Be not deceived by the marvels that they weave Brutalize… Demonize… The beginning of the end All the “king’s” horses All the “king’s” men Will trample you again and again Ignorance… Ignorance is… (no longer) bliss Compliance? Defiance? Read in-between the lines Tolerance? Intolerance? Trust the quiet voice inside Accept? Resist? We cannot coexist You were born as seeds of light That I planted in the soil of earthly sorrow You will bloom in their hearts and shine Giving someone another tomorrow

Once upon a dream I used to watch you shine You were the brightest star in my sky And always so strong and willing to lead the way But I couldn’t watch you fall away No, don’t mourn the “dead” me Bury him far from your life Don’t mourn the “dead” me, no… So now that the stars have fallen on me again Each path that I choose Opens every old wound I yearned to bleed so I could numb the grief With this pain I felt so alive But that was the “dead” me No, don’t mourn the “dead” me Bury him far from your life Don’t mourn the “dead” me, no… So, release the bad dreams Bury them- move on with your life Forlorn memories Erase them from your heart Today I had to die So You could save my life No, don’t mourn the “dead” me Bury him far from your life Don’t mourn the “dead” me, no So, release the bad dreams Bury them- move on with your life Behold the new me Carry him- embrace my new life Don’t mourn the “dead” me Don’t mourn the “dead” me Don’t mourn the “dead” me Don’t mourn the “dead” me
