I want something to be proud of A painting, these hands to heavy A sculpture, this hammer's swing too weak A chord, these fingers too clumsy A chorus, this voice too humble Words are all that I have Words are all that remain I painted and no one saw but me I sculpted and there was no clear shape I played it fell on deaf ears I sang and all I received was whispers But words I can't keep to myself Words are made for sharing Yet what if I write and it is shunned Pour out my heart and my innermost is ridiculed Speak my mind and everyone disagree Scream and no one even listen At least then I could hear myself Words are all that we have Words are all that remain If we could just listen Nothing would be the same Let's examine together The profound and the strange With open ears, open minds We'll be forever changed.

Quick now you sluggard, prick up your posture This is no time for weakness Hide it ignore it for they’ll all deplore it And it’s what they think that counts No one but you has troubles, your thoughts are all muddled Pull yourself together now You’re alone for the first time, eighteen years you have been fine But what about now? What if withdrawn All support long gone Reveals a gaping hole In your person They say This is what will define you This is the way we will bind you up And tear you apart This is the touch that will make you This is the glance that will break your heart It will tear you apart Perhaps you’ll find peace eventually But for now you’ll have to cope Unless you can find a love that’s complete Behold such is our hope Open your eyes wide you’re walking through life blind You can’t do this on your own And though you might try I think that you’ll find All fools end up alone What if withdrawn All support long gone Reveals a gaping hole In your person They say This is what will define you This is the way we will bind you up And tear you apart This is the touch that will make you This is the glance that will break your heart It will tear you apart This is the touch that will make you This is the glance that will break your heart It will tear you apart

Collide 05:27
Oh thank God you're alive I thought you were dead When you went off the road I nearly lost my head Now I know what it's like To nearly end a life But I came out alive And that surely is divine As the guard rail draws near Time ceases to exist And I wonder how I slid into this My hands they just hold tight My eyes open wide With death looming just in sight My car, it does collide These dreams that I have They give me fear But it's not for myself It's for the ones that I hold dear It's tragic how sometimes We have to see death draw near For us to even care About those that we hold dear.

Closer 03:31
You talk to me like you don't even know me But you should know me I've been there as you've grown Are you standing there just waiting On your call to move? Cause I've called you to move If you'd just listen you could hear my voice You'd come running back, running to my arms Reach out your hand I've been hear all along You're doing nothing to pull me closer to your heart To your heart You're looking for me down the wrong road You should know I'm not just a means to satisfy Don't try to win my heart with the good things that you do You're not built by the things you do If you'd just listen you could hear my voice You'd come running back, running to my arms Reach out your hand I've been hear all along You're doing nothing to pull me closer to your heart To your heart

Silver 03:44
I've purified my heart And washed my hands in innocence I sit hear and watch as the Wicked come out ahead Come out ahead I am the refiner of your heart You sit through the fire to be purified Trust me I keep my eyes fixed on you And wait till the point you understand my truth You've lit a fire beneath But my blind eyes can;t see The big picture of the dance You have always planned You've always planned I watch as the wicked come out ahead. I am the refiner of your heart You sit through the fire to be purified Trust me I keep my eyes fixed on you And wait till the point you understand my truth You put me through the fire I am the refiner of your heart You sit through the fire to be purified Trust me I keep my eyes fixed on you And wait till the point you understand my truth

And now I say to you, love One another recklessly Without regards for consequences Positive or negative For love is not Something that should be prostituted Or used for gain It is a gift Given freely To all mankind, for all mankind We are to love In the realization That everyone is more than what they seem That where we perceive a body There is a soul And that soul is eternal And that the actions That we take against one another Oh they're not The mere workings of one animal against another But rather an immortal perverting his eternal purpose To love Recklessly Love One Another Recklessly Oh brothers! Heed my words! And love One another Recklessly
