Cringe
03:49
|

I cringe on your behalf because
You refuse to.
You're brow beating everyone you know.
You wear the mocker's coat so well.
Your mouth is empty, but your pocket's full.
I cringe on your behalf because
You refuse to.
You've thrown away everything that's good.
Everything you touch is wasted and ruined.
You're never pushing on you're just pushing down.
Ooh, there is a difference
Between blindness and closed eyes.

Ants
03:22
|

Your words form a line
Like ants on parade.
Marching out your throat,
The things that you just said
Are piled on my back
Many times my weight.
The graces that you lack,
The liberties you take!
I am overcome, I am almost done
With you.
Is there any good at all
Left beneath your tongue?
You twist the tools of grace
And not to be outdone,
You pile on my back
Many times my weight.
The graces that you lack,
The liberties you take!
I am overcome, I'm almost done
With you.
Is it the body or the blood
That covers all the things you've done?

Panacea
03:40

And as this cancer grows
A little above the eyes
It comes as no surprise
That no one ever knows.
The while
We stand in the fire
We find
We're never consumed,
But refined
We're made new.
The days are numbered here.
Be assured there is design
Amidst these trouble times
We know,
The while
We stand in the fire
We find
We're never consumed,
But refined
We're made new.
Like the fox and the hare,
The tooth in the hide,
The blood and the fear
Are only a lie.

Tooth
04:13

You are the only one
Drawing lines in the sand
Right where the water will
Wash them away.
Its only posturing
To finally make a stand
For this when you've never
Stood for anything before.
Forget the tooth for tooth!
Of all the stupid things
You're always arguing,
You go and choose this one
Like the fool that you are.
You wanted honesty,
but you've never seen the truth.
You're backed into a corner
With little defense.
Forget the tooth for tooth!
If you could only see
What you're holding in your hands,
Despite earnest objections,
Can still be redeemed.
Consider this as gold,
An opportunity for grace.
Remove your head from the sand
And place your feet on the ground.
Its a new day.

Empires
04:12
|
|||
You have high hopes
Higher than most
To change
And those around you
Are waiting for the day
With less required
As they remain
Building empires requires
A fortitude of mind
Tearing down the towers of standing powers
An eye for an eye
You come with fists
And armies strong
For war
But the crown upon your head
Means nothing anymore
You never stopped to consider
What you're fighting for
Building empires requires
A fortitude of mind
Tearing down the towers of standing powers
An eye for an eye
Lay down
Lay down upon your sword.
