Find Your Worth, Come Home

I sleep the sun away So nothing good can stay I wish you could settle in my bones Just for a day Maybe you'd see how much this is killing me The foundation of my home is incomplete I tried to mend the roof on my own But it's always raining on me I'm pulled across state lines I'm pulled apart In tow behind the the horses One day we'll say we found a way I know this road seems long but you've got to keep up I'll never say you failed me I never was what you wanted me to be I want to be strong To make amends Hey! I want to be strong I want to make amends Get out of this slump And breathe again Don't you want to be strong and make amends? Get out of this slump and breathe again!

Was I damned from the start Or just when their marriage fell apart? Come back in time Take hell's flames out of my eyes I'm setting fire To everyone and everything It burns beneath my skin Sending smoke signals to heaven For him to save me It would stain heaven's gates The pearls will never be replaced They serve as a reminder His children still suffer They serve as a reminder His children still suffer They serve as a reminder His children still suffer Come on! Does my "try" make god blush? Does my heart still decay? Does it still rust? Cause I feel That all my gears Are starting to dry It's beginning to be too much for me Oh, life how could you be so cruel to me? Cut me some slack And I'll pick up everything I lack If you'd grant me this strength Then I'll return it to you By a thousand fold A thousand fold Dear brother Brother Though our mothers aren't the one We share a father He never wished the weight you spit To be collared On you own You cast your fault Project your loss But reflections must Mirror the victor Your heart longs to honor The fact remains That his flawlessness waits To accept only Utter surrender And he's extending his arms Mom, come home when you can I swear dad has changed He's still a good man If I'm wrong I'll hold my head high I'll let god Spit in my face I know you would still grab the flame (I'll let God spit in my face!) I know you would still grab the flame (I'll let God spit in my face!) If I burn If I burn I know you'd still grab the flame I know you'd still grab the flame

I still get afraid I still can’t compete We’re losing the thought And you’re losing me You burn out so bright We all go blind It’s not your fault They cut you in pieces They tear you apart They won't care about you or what you wanted to start We will fade away Tomorrow won’t care about you Or the life we shared You’ll see the shift and move closer to me We’re staring at them They’ll watch from a far I still can’t see you and who’ve you become You rise to new heights You capture the dream Through the lens and flash That dock is still waiting We will fade away Tomorrow won’t care about you Or the life we shared You’ll see the shift and move closer to me The tide pulls me, the tide pulls me down But I still see it in you If you go down Pull me under Pick up your crown Get to your feet Get to your home Find your release

Broken birds can’t fly Broken bells can’t sing Your spine yearns for healing You can’t seem to believe Your prayers wings are wilting The toll it takes on you is relentless The hands around your throat are your own You just can’t seem to let go I hated watching you grow cold But if you learn to fly you have to let go Caught in the storm How did you get here? Just keep in mind hope is always in the eye There is love in the depths You feel the Devil's breath The hands around your throat are your own You just can’t seem to let go I hated watching you grow cold But if you learn to fly you have to let go I still see you wrapped in the glow You are the tide beckons me slow You pull me down And I won't fight it I’ll be content I won't fight it I want to give my memory to the flame I want to burn it all away And now you lose your soul everyday As it wastes away You can’t face the day You waste away You can’t face the day You waste away You can’t face the day You lose your soul everyday The hands around your throat are your own You just can’t seem to let go I hated watching you grow cold But if you learn to fly you have to let go Broken birds fly Broken bells sing

Do I have to kill all the sheep for the shepherds attention? The tension is growing Like a train wreck in my chest I’m trying my best to get a hold of you But nothing is working Healer did you get my call? Sewn between the cracks of wood We all hang on what could be Healer will I claim your call or deny you until I fall? We all hang on what could be I know I sound like the Devil tempting you and such This cross on my back has grown to be too much The crown on my head won’t fit My sword is dull from the drag I am the wounded carried I’m not carrying the wounded Healer did you get my call? Sewn between the cracks of wood Healer will I claim your call or deny you until I fall? We all hang on what could be Give me your eyes So I can see the potential inside Give me your eyes So I can see why you claim to be part of me Storms coming soon I’ll be there with you Was it my debt I saw it through? Every conviction reflecting you? {X3] (I feel you near me )

This is only gonna make a mess of me Soon enough you will have to see This is only gonna make a mess of me Every day pushing pulling and grinding In every way defeated failing and breathless Selling yourself so short It’s making a mockery of me Your suicide salvation has only put a veil over your eyes Though unworthy we can stand and fight God, why do you feel dead? It repeats in my head Over and over again The thoughts of you and I I’d trade it all Nostalgia only lasts so long Before I forget If it’s not one thing it’s another The killing feeling that I can’t save my brothers The loneliness of my father The abandonment of my mother The confused thoughts of my sister Raining on me, raining on me, raining on me, raining on me! (It's always) raining on me, raining on me, raining on me, raining on me! I’m gonna die in this undertow, I'm gonna die in this undertow I'm gonna turn my back on you, you'll see And everything that you wished for me And all your hopes and dreams will fall When you see how vile I’ve become And if you love me then stay, and if you love me then stay! Every day pushing pulling and grinding In every way defeated failing and breathless Selling yourself so short It's making a mockery of me! Nostalgia seeds keep on growing, nostalgia seeds keep on growing! It’s always raining on me, raining on me, raining on me, raining on me! When the water starts to rise Just remember who sent you!

Are you gonna do anything or just stand there and bleed? Rise up! Rise up! Gain your ground! Be who you were born to be! If it’s never meant anything Then let it be your crown to claim now Just keep your eyes to the sky and your feet to the ground We will reclaim! We will reclaim! I’m not the one to blame The inherited wound that grows inside of me, grows inside of me The light pulls through every seed inside As the ribs turn to roots My heart and lungs collide From this hole they dug for me It’s everything I see now that I know It’s gonna kill me Oh please oh please Release my body from the jaws of the beast Let my savage triumph be a sight for all to see, a sight for all to see! Day in Day out Day in Day out Day in Day out All you taste is stagnation, stagnation (Day in, day out) So spit it out It’s getting so old So spit it out It’s getting so old So spit it out It’s getting so old So spit Spit it out So spit it out The light pulls through every seed inside As the ribs turn to roots My heart and lungs collide From this hole they dug for me It’s everything I see The light pulls through every seed inside As the ribs turn to roots My heart and lungs collide From this hole they dug for me It’s everything I see; now that I know, it's gonna kill me If you come out of the coma Then we will repeat the end {X2]

My mom rests her head Cries herself to sleep Cause she thinks she failed My dad rests his head Cries himself to sleep Cause he thinks he failed Inherit, the wound {X8] Walked in to your room Staring out at the balcony Was dad crawling through your memory? I was the only one to watch you leave Well I rest my head and I cry myself to sleep Cause they're both lonely When there’s no need to be And that kills me Band around all you broken We’ll shine a light on words unspoken We’ll be brighter than the sun I’ll burn brighter than the sun Yeah! I’ll shine brighter than the sun that burns inside of my body Contributing all the bitterness inside I’ll wrap around everyone I love and you’ll see everything that I want to be They’ll be warm with the love

And there was nothing I could do I was too far away from you And there was nothing I could say You had to let go any way Everyday I lose a memory I feel the pull of time A piece of me dies A bit of my life unwinds But I’ll never ask why Because everyone grows and everybody dies Last night you came back to life We took your Ford for a spin You were driving You were young again Please don’t decay Just stay next to me These days I’m missing you I wish You pulled through But there was nothing I could do To keep the blood rushing out of you I hope you felt the pull of it all Broke my back when I hit the wall And I can taste the sand I hope your free running wild With your dreams in my hands These days I’m missing you I wish You pulled through And there was nothing I could do I was too far away from you And there was nothing I could say You had to let go any way I remember when you lost your leg And I remember when you lost your hair And I knew I was losing you I’m always losing Could you feel your heart beat fade? Did it hurt to let go of everything? Did that bed feel like a grave? Did I ever cross your mind? And there was nothing I could do I was too far away from you And there was nothing I could say You had to let go any way I know I’m just dreaming You’re never coming back No! I’ve got to wake up You’re never coming back

God I know you hear us when we cry God I know you're always here to listen, even as we said goodbye But God I didn't say goodbye, at least, not the way I wanted to My heart, torn out, twisted up, heavy, tired but I wanted to Tell him goodbye But God, not the way some people do This is a goodbye If I could just see through I know he's there with you And now here's my question God, could you tell him that I love him? Could you tell him that I miss him? Could you tell him my confession? Tell him that I'm sorry that I didn't understand his depression That I allowed so much aggression to build up Could you tell him how badly I wish I took the time to tell him myself? Precious child, don't you know you're the apple of his eye? Yes God, he told you that but I never really listened Dear girl, don't you know he's never blamed you, he knew you tried But God I didn't try, I should have tried but I let myself grow bitter and it only lead to division My daughter, don't you know you're forgiven? God, could you tell him that I love him? Could you tell him that I miss him? Could you tell him my confession Tell him that I'm sorry that I didn't understand his depression That I allowed so much aggression to build up inside Pretty pretty princess, don't you know you're the apple of my eye Yes daddy, you told me that but I never really listened Sweatpea, don't you know I never blamed you I knew you tried But dad I didn't try I should have tried but I let myself grow bitter and it only lead to our division Little girl, don't you know I prayed for you, I wanted you, you're forgiven God, could you tell him that I love him? Could you tell him that I miss him? God, could you tell him I forgive him? You missed the cleansing You missed the wedding You missed out on so much more than me In December I watched your daughter grow bitter Then January came she took off her crown I watched it shatter when it hit the ground Hey Bree, it's ok You can fall apart everyday Hey Bree, it's ok You can fall apart everyday And I'll pick up the pieces when I can I'll stand you on your feet Like Levi did for me We are all going through the seasons Everyone falls apart Everybody has to get a new start some times Dear dad, I sleep next to a woman now She knows you better than she did when you were alive So be confident that you sowed seed in good soil And your legacy will watch the fruit grow When I touch her skin, I can't help but remember the way you affirmed my mother So be confident that we loved you with equal affecction even though you never believed it was true I've got heaven and hell on my mind all the time I've got questions I never had before I wanna know where it is, where you are And when you talk to God, do you sit at his table and tell him stories about the day I was born And does He laugh with you like it's all a surprise to Him I've got a couple of nephews now Preston just had his firstborn I pictured you holding me when I watched him hold his daughter The shocked stare in his eyes swept over me like ocean waves And I knew that there is a kind of love that still exists completely foreign to me I can't stop thinking about it So when you tip-toed out of the house before that quiet dawn Was it the love of a man that knew a woman and held his childen at birth that turned the ignition That kept your eyes from the rearview as you drove away from the house you made? Greater love knows none than this What did you see? What did you see? I got to know, I got to know! Was it little Levi peddling down Date Street? Were you sitting next to your wife with open eyes staring into hers? Was she telling you "I love you, please don't go." Were you walking Bree down the aisle to a better man? I can't stand it, I can't stand it Was the Devil in the bathroom with you? Were his hands on the razor? Was he drawing on your wrists, was he drawing on your wrists? Did you see God, Did you see God? I want to know, I want to know I want to know where your soul is What was it like when you took flight? Dear dad, I don't hate you I think there was selflessness in your selfishness and after seeing Preston's kid I don't even know if I think it was selfish at all Maybe you'll correct my theology when we laugh with God together I'm gonna think of you when I hold my son I'll do my best to watch after your wife and your daughter And in the end, I'm glad that your Dad got to clean up your arms and wipe your tears away
