Memphis May Fire
Album • 2014
Another day, she sets foot in this prison Dreading what they'll say So much to give, but no one ever listens She dreams of running away Crippled by the way they make her feel She takes a look at her wrists and turns to the blade It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel Anything other than the pain Everyone deserves to be loved But they make her hate everything she was sure of Every day feels like her against the world Now she's afraid she'll never be enough No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone The memories, they haunt her No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes She feels they'll never want her She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep Staring at the scars on her wrists She knows this is not who she wants to be Another night, all alone with her thoughts Dwelling on the questions that race through her head Scared to sleep, scared to wake up and face the day When she can't forget the things that they said No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone (The memories, they haunt her) No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes (She feels they'll never want her)All she wants is someone to notice (So sick of feeling invisible) All she needs is someone to care (If only they could see that she's incredible) She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin? So ignorant Are they too cold, too numb To see the lifelong effects of the pain they inflict? (Of the pain they inflict) Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin? (Beneath the skin!) No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone (The memories, they haunt her) No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes (She feels they'll never want her)All she wants is someone to notice (So sick of feeling invisible) All she needs is someone to care (If only they could see that she's incredible) She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep Staring at the scars on her wrists She knows this is not who she wants to be

I hit the bottom of my lowest lows My darkest hours are the times I grow And every time I am broken I know that it's only so I can be restored I never would have found my way If I didn't realize I was lost in the first place Amazing grace how sweet the sound I never could have picked myself up off the ground Oh, now I see (now I see) It's not about the things I've done, but what you've done in me Now I see fear is irrelevant cause you know my every need I'm reaching out You pull me out of the depths, I see you now I'm letting go of the rest and I won't fear the fall 'Cause I know that you'll be there to catch me I'll look to you when there's trouble at sea 'Cause I can walk on water when I believe And now I know it's true, you are the answer to everything How could I fear this heartbeat that beats for you? How could I fear this heartbeat that beats for you? I'm letting go of every fear I hold on to Well I don't know what the future holds But I know who holds it and it's beautiful Every time that I fall short I'm so thankful I'm not in control I'm reaching out (I'm reaching now) I see you now (I see you now) And I won't fear the fall cause I know that you'll be there I'm reaching out You pull me out of the depths, I see you now I'm letting go of the rest and I won't fear the fall 'Cause I know that you'll be there to catch me I'll look to you when there's trouble at sea 'Cause I can walk on water when I believe And now I know it's true, you are the answer to everything (The answer to everything The answer to everything The answer to everything) When my thoughts take shape like a demon, I will rest in you (I will rest in you) The peace I find in my quiet mind comes from knowing that your word is true You are more than enough! And now I'm certain that the best is yet to come (best is yet to come) You are more than enough! The best is yet to come I'm reaching out You pull me out of the depths, I see you now I'm letting go of the rest and I won't fear the fall 'Cause I know that you'll be there to catch me I'll look to you when there's trouble at sea 'Cause I can walk on water when I believe And now I know it's true, you are the answer to everything

So caught up in our own day-to-day, we see lives in need & look the other way I'm not a pessimist, but I think it's safe to say this would be different if it was your family We can't fathom not having a place to rest our heads Can you imagine the pain of a newborn child that won't be fed? It's so easy getting comfortable We ignore the empty hands in need, thinking someone else will see them Can you see the possibilities? We have the ability to change the world! If we want to see a change we have to be it Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours! Day after day they continue to die so we think our prayers go unheard, but poverty ends where compassion begins We can no longer deny it's up to us It's up to us! We are the chosen ones, called to be bold! There is no time to hesitate Today is the day we can break the mold! Can you see the possibilities? We have the ability to change the world! If we want to see a change we have to be it Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours! Their starving eyes cry out for anyone to listen, reaching out for anyone to care Would we ignore them now if they were our own children or make a promise to always be there? Remove the veil from your eyes! We could move mountains if we only tried! Remove the veil from your eyes! We hold the power in our hands to save their lives! Can you see the possibilities? We have the ability to change the world! If we want to see a change we have to be it Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours!

It's a mystery, too good to be true I find my purpose when I look at you I bleed transparent It's not the way I choose But it's only when I'm vulnerable my true colors shine through For a moment I'm a poet without words Speechless because you love me at my worst I don't deserve this I let it surface And all I know is today I woke up falling in love again Starving artist, no match for a queen, But walls come down and Love's limitless when you find what's meant to be Supernatural, it's more than what we see A trust that can't be broken seemed impossible to me But I've tasted true love and I believe! For a moment I'm a poet without words Speechless because you love me at my worst I don't deserve this I let it surface And all I know is today I woke up falling in love again For a moment I'm a poet without words Speechless because you love me at my worst I don't deserve this I let it surface And all I know is today I woke up falling in love again

Swimming against the current, it's been this way from day one Always an uphill battle, we never got a single handout from anyone, from anyone So tell me, if we were "damaged goods," then what does that make you? As far as I'm concerned, you're nothing more than just a worthless suit (We are the rose) We are the rose We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would have known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me Now I won't take all the credit, but you sure don't deserve an ounce So go and talk the talk while we walk the walk There's no way that you can stop us now! (We are the rose) We are the rose We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would have known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me You can lie You can cheat your way through life You can take what you don't deserve until you die You can lie You can cheat your way through life You can take what you don't deserve until you die You can lie You can cheat your way through life You can take what you don't deserve until you die, but you can never take away our pride Because when they said we couldn't we did! One day you'll be forgotten When they said we couldn't we did! They'll remember our name forever, because when they said we couldn't we did! I forgive you It's not your fault you couldn't see what I saw You never were to care about the underdog We are the rose We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would have known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me We are the rose We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own You left us on our own! I guess you should have had a little more faith in me

I take a deep breath into my lungs, let it out & move on I take a step back and look at all that I've done Why does it feel like I'm right back where I started from? How can it be I need more when I've already won? Just when I think I've got it all figured out you grab my hand & say not so fast, boy don't you see there is so much more! I'm at the top of the world and I feel it, but it's not enough for me No it's not enough for me! I used to think I'd find myself at the top above all the pain & the failure I saw Now that I'm here I see it's not what I wanted at all I feel it in my bones It's in my blood A constant search for the one true love Show me something real, I want to feel your touch What is enough? Show me enough! I'm at the top of the world and I feel it, but it's not enough for me No it's not enough for me! I want to live forever! Give me open eyes to see this is not enough for me! This world wants me dead Dead to the truth and buried from the inside out, but I can't hide the hope I've found in you. This world wants me dead Dead to the truth and buried from the inside out, but I cannot be shaken I won't be moved My crown is eternal! I'm at the top of the world and I feel it, but it's not enough for me No it's not enough for me! I want to live forever! Give me open eyes to see this is not enough for me!

With every letter I read I see their desperate cries to find the missing piece They just want to believe Someone can take away the burdens they carry And who am I to be here? I am no different than them We are the same, you see? And I wear my heart on my sleeve For everyone to see The man I wanna be I just hope they see you when they look at me 'Cause you are everything that I need to be My heart is heavy and torn Weighed down by all my mistakes and the chains I've worn A constant struggle with fear Unsure if I was enough from the day I was born But you see the beauty in my flaws You pick me up when I fall Show me the way when I am lost In the eye of the storm You show me I'm not alone And give me strength to carry on I wear my heart on my sleeve For everyone to see The man I wanna be And I just hope they see you when they look at me 'Cause you are everything that I need to be And I wear my heart on my sleeve For everyone to see The man I wanna be And I just hope they see you when they look at me 'Cause you are everything that I need to be And I wear my heart on my sleeve For everyone to see The man I wanna be And I just hope they see you when they look at me 'Cause you are everything (you are everything) That I need to be That I need to be

Somewhere along the line you must have missed the point, this is not about you You twist the words of The Gospel to glorify yourself, but this is not about you! Take the spotlight off the things that you've done & realize he did what you never could He carries the weight that you could never hold & even if you had the chance you never would Hypocrite! You think you're superior? Hypocrite! Do you really think belittling is the cure? You walk around with your head held high as if you're not the one that's living a lie You're living a lie! What makes you think that you'll change their minds? They'll never see the light if all you preach is hate from a mountain top that you couldn't climb Say what you want, but behind closed doors you fight the same demons as everyone else. Say what you will, but you look like a fool to the rest of the world that knows that no one's perfect You live a lie! Modern day Pharisees Open up your eyes! You never practice what you preach You live a lie! Modern day Pharisees Open up your eyes! You never practice what you preach Who gave you the right? You walk around with your head held high as if you're not the one that's living a lie You're living a lie! What makes you think that you'll change their minds? They'll never see the light if all you preach is hate from a mountaintop that you couldn't climb The next time you feel the right to preach about Commandments that you know you do not keep, realize that it was Grace that saved you and do us all a favour, keep your self-righteous mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut! Keep your self-righteous mouth shut! GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! We are all at the mercy of, GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! You are no different than the rest of us You walk around with your head held high as if you're not the one that's living a lie You're living a lie! What makes you think that you'll change their minds? They'll never see the light if all you preach is hate from a mountaintop that you couldn't climb From a mountaintop that you could never climb! From a mountaintop that you could never climb!

It's three o'clock in the morning You lie awake with a heavy heart You're thinking, "What is the meaning? Was I a waste? A mistake from the start?" You just can't seem to remember The last time anyone seemed to care And all passion seems to wither When it seems you have no purpose here But you hold the power to be The living, breathing purpose you were made to be (Don't throw it away!) It only takes one spark to start an everlasting fire in your heart Destiny is different than a dream Despite our failures and our shortcomings We all have divine purpose to be nothing short of a miracle story You hold the power to be The living breathing purpose you were made to be And it only takes one small spark To start an everlasting fire in your heart To start an everlasting fire in your heart There is a plan and you're an important part There is relief in the coming days Even if you can't see it now When you look back on the difference that you made It will erase every second of doubt Destiny is different than a dream Despite our failures and our shortcomings We all have divine purpose to be nothing short of a miracle story Destiny is different than a dream Despite our failures and our shortcomings We all have divine purpose to be nothing short of a miracle story I pray for clarity, for those who are questioning it all I pray they'll hear the answers when they call You are special, you are loved! A perfect reflection of heaven above And God makes no mistakes, you are a miracle story A miracle story And God makes no mistakes, you are a miracle story I pray for clarity, for those who are questioning it all (it all, it all) I pray they'll hear the answers when they call And God makes no mistakes, you are a miracle story And God makes no mistakes, you are a miracle story I pray for clarity, for those who are questioning it all I pray they'll hear the answers when they call (A perfect reflection of heaven above...)
