"There you stood in disbelief, trying all you could to see through these lies And every word that I could brethe, would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried And knowing what I've done to you, with every thought you suffer through My heart as black as evil can And everything I could have been, erased by what I wanted then I couldn't think a lesser man
(Pre-chorus:) All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales
(Chorus:) Oh, the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow
So now I reap what I have sewn, and any rapture I had shown has bled dry And I walked the streets alone, accepting the pain I'd never known, as you died Then I hurt myself to see it too, to feel the knife put in you My heart as broken as my ways I never should've let it pass, this fall was never meant to last The reason gone and damage stays
(Pre-chorus) All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales
(Chorus) Oh the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow
(Pre-chorus) All the delicate ways That I deepened our graves My apology pales
(Chorus) Oh the pain in your eyes My regrets have never known such sorrow Oh, the shame that you hide Resolutions are the same tomorrow." -Demon Hunter, One Thousand Apologies

Something Corporate-Good News
She's trapped inside her room with reruns on the screen. Old books and movies but she can't stop thinking" "I'm torn between myself, my radio, my friends. I want to write this one off over and over again" And then she looked at me to scream "My castles are falling" but I can't look into the street without everything changing
I want to read good news I want to be innocent again I want to read good news but nothing good is happening
She waits all day. She stands a stranger in her skin. She moves the science with her hands. She lines her walls with every paper she can see. These words consume her, but they never set her free. And then she looked at me to scream "My castles are falling" but I can't look into the street without everything changing
I want to read good news I want to be innocent again I want to read good news but nothing good is happening
I want to read good news I want to be a little kid again I want to read good news but nothing good is happening I want to read good news I want to go to sleep at night again I want to read good news but nothing good is happening

Learning To Breathe
Hello, good morning, how you do? What makes your rising sun so new? I could use a fresh beginning too All of my regrets are nothing new So this is the way that I say I need you This is the way that I'm
Learning to breathe I'm learning to crawl I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall I'm living again, awake and alive I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been? Yesterday left my head kicked in I never, never thought that I would fall like that Never knew that I could hurt this bad
So this is the way that I say I need you This is the way that I say I love you This is the way that I say I'm yours This is the way, this is the way
Learning To Breathe- Switchfoot

"Is this the New Year or just another night? Is this the new fear or just another fright? Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist? Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss? A misdirection, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom? Is this what you call pain? Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass From broken arms an' broken noses in the back Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You're pushing till you're shoving You bend until you break Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving, Is no one here at all? Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard? Have you been through and down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now? Nothing left to sing Are there any left to haven't kiss the enemy? Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
Just as I could find you, do the wicked never lose? Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in" -Switchfoot, The Blues

Jesus rocks.
Revalation Song-
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Holy Holy is He.
Sing a new song, to him who sits on Heaven's Mercy Seat.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Who Was and Is and Is to Come.
With all Creation I sing, Praise to the King of Kings.
You are my everything, and I will adore you.
Clothed in rainbows of living color.
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder.
Blessing and Honor, Strenght and Glory and Power be,
to You the only One I need.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Who Was and Is and Is to Come.
With all Creation I sing, Praise to the King of Kings.
You are my everything, and I will adore you.
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder,
at the mention of Your Name.
Jesus Your Name is Power, Breath and Living Water.
Such a marvelous Mystery.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Who Was and Is and Is to Come!
With all Creation I sing, Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything, and I will adore you!

Oh this is a song from my soul This time I won't sweat it, I'm gonna let it go
I don't recognize my own face no more I stare in a mirror then turn and it's gone Nameless and famous changing my alias Manafest & Chris fighting for the right placement 1979 I was born 1995 I grabbed a board 1999 I wrote a song, spit a metaphor Went from amateur to entrepreneur You still don't know me, dudes can't touch me Stab me, kill me, hug me or love me Inside I'm a person, hurting, and working Pouring myself out, putting my neck out Can you see him? I tell them I'm right here He still won't come out he's rivaled with fear Examined by the critics, and put on this dis list They don't respect him he's just another musician
Oh this is a song from my soul This time I won't sweat it, I'm gonna let it go (I won't stress I'll just do my best) Yeah!!! You've taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And I'll let the whole world know about you
The voice of suicide Used to creep up in my mind The fat kid could care less if I lived or died I didn't think it had affect on me But now I'm 25 watching my weight size, I'm really scrawny The name calling, bullying from the hooligans The who's in, who's not had no friends My audience is triple the size of that now All eyes on me shall I rap now Thank you all for coming to my show Thank you for burning my cd that you stole When I get desperate I write a message My rhymes the essence of day to day lessons Feeling butt naked my pride has been taken Every mistake that I've made there taping Can I find peace, can I find me Who's the real man that's hiding behind the emcee? I want to know
What's real, whats' not, what's real (I'm still searchin')Super star Chorus
Oh this is a song from my soul This time I won't sweat it, I'm gonna let it go (I won't stress I'll just do my best) Yeah!!! You've taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And I'll let the whole world know about you
We may not agree on everything or anything By any means I'm a fulfill the dream I seen it come and go, I've tried to grab hold Hope I don't end up losing my soul Hip hop ain't worth it I've served and cursed it Sacrificed to make it work, and lost my purpose It's not what I die for to risk my wife and all Strife cause can't compare the lives it's caught I am Christian, emceeing a gifting, hip hop's what I's living Not replacing religion, I got relationship with a God in the sky He talks to me defines wrong and the right Talk to him, when you're walking or jogging Skating or playing, or painting or balling I'm a pass the mic, I on a path for Christ Let me tell ye the, shoot I'm out a time
Oh this is a song from my soul This time I won't sweat it, I'm gonna let it go (I won't stress I'll just do my best) Yeah!!! You've taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And I'll let the whole world know about you
So I think I have a new addiction to hip hop. And I never realized how good the lyrics were.

Did that fill you glee To kill your little friend Did that ease your suffering? Or bring it to end Let go... All of your anger will poison you yet Unless you can just - let go
Its from a song.

Been swallowing my debris Without a trace of dignity I'm living a fallacy and Been holding tight to all I can't keep One memory One memory This time's the last I'll second guess Your legacy Your legacy This time's the last I will forget
So can't you take All of me All of me All of me? Once and for all Can't you take me?
I recognize the causes Now I'm cutting all my losses Severing all the hindrance Shedding the viral skin of infection You'd never believe the wolf I became (this time) In moments of weakness and disarray (this time) But now they can try to beat it out of me (this time) I'm welcome to the challenge of emergency
Out of the halls of ruin The slow burn slow steady climb this time 'Bout to reverse the movement And I'm quite sure you know just where I'm heading
All of Me- Project 86

I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn, And all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes. And on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed And all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way.
And as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone’s broken heart And there’s no greater love, than that one shed his blood for his friends
On that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right All our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight But until then all of our scars will still remain, but we’ve learned that if we’ll Open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal
(As long as we live, we are bridges to someone broken heart There’s no greater love, shed your blood for your friends)
We must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live We must open up these wounds When some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood There’s no greater love. We must open up our wounds ~Thrice---for miles

Everything is broken, everything is broken Everything is breaking down, breaking down Everything is bleeding, everything is bleeding Everything is breaking down, breaking down
I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, Without politicians Watching for my sky to get torn apart We are broken, we are bitter We’re the problem, we’re the politicians Watching for our sky to get torn apart Come on and break me Come on and break me
Entropy and aching, where have we been aiming Everything is fading out, fading out We are the faded, splintered, and sedated Everything is fading out, fading out
I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, Without politicians Politicians Politicians
I am broken, I am bitter I’m the problem, I’m the politician Watching for my sky to get torn apart Come on and break me Come on and break me
Politicians- Switchfoot The funny thing is this song was actually performed in DC, between many governmental buildings. HEHEHE

You, I don't appreciate you telling me the way that I should live No, I think the choices you've laid out for me, the end is negative So, take all your imagery and ideology, yes I'll be fine When you go, I'd rather not display my physical I'd rather use my mind You act like all I am to be is, just a sexy, sexy thing Just a showpiece for all to see like a Bentley or your diamond ring I know that I am more than that (don't believe the hype) The One who made the stars and sun gave meaning to my life
Ohhh, I don't need you to define my b-e-a-u-t-y I'd rather draw the line Ohhh, I don't need you on my team, what you've selling's a pipe dream And I don't need it baby
Hey! It seems a shame to me I've been reduced to an object of lust and hate No way! Please understand that I refuse to be simply a height and weight This day, somewhere we've lost the value of what a woman is supposed to be A queen, respected and defined by her creator, size 24, size 10, or size 3 You act like all I am to be is, just a sexy, sexy thing Just a showpiece for all to see like a Bently or your diamond ring I know that I am more than that (don't believe the hype) The One who made the stars and sun gave meaning to my life
It's my choice and I will decide, I won't let you destroy my pride I'm no showpiece for you to hide, and lose all that I am inside God made me and I'm beautiful, I won't dress like that kind of girl R-e-s-p-e-c-t ,see that's the way that you got to look at me

Control is dead in this blind world, For we do what we hate. Split from inside. Betrayed by emotion. We must look past what is in front of us. Shadows are security.
They have become the solace of my looking glass heart. In search for certainty, I no longer need control.
Take me through the fire, refine what is Yours. It is time to overcome this. We must look past what is in front of us. ~as I lay dying

Is there anyone that fails Is there anyone that falls Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small
Cause when I take a look around Everybody seems so strong I know they’ll soon discover That I don’t belong
So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too So with a painted grin, I play the heart again So everyone will see me the way that I see them
Are we happy plastic people Under shiny plastic steeples With walls around our weakness And smiles to hide our pain But if the invitation’s open To every heart that has been broken Maybe then we close the curtain On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who’s been there Are there any hands to raise Am I the only one who’s traded In the altar for a stage
The performance is convincing And we know every line by heart Only when no one is watching Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free If I dared to let you see The truth behind the person That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open Or would you walk away Would the love of Jesus Be enough to make you stay

Verse: She moves to L.A. She wants to be somebody Three and a half years later she's still not anybody She's still hoping for a break while she's waiting tables Realizing some dreams are fables Fear grows when she nows that sh'es out of control Throwing up in the bathroom, hope nobody knows And she fears that she's a failure She forgets that God loves her
Tap: You tried and you failed Hold your head up high You climbed and you fell Hold your head up high You tried and you failed Hold your head up high Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Chorus: Cause if we never make it ever Then it's gonna be okay with me Cause if it's not okay to fall sometimes It's not okay to be If they don't want us, it's okay, honest It doesn't have to bring me down Let them say we're not big rock stars It's not what we're about We don't have to be rock stars We don't have to be rock stars
Verse: They said he'd never make it Maybe they're right His parents never believed that his dream could take flight All he ever wanted was for them to be proud of him It was the whole world to him He needed to win He gave his everything, but sometimes it's not enough He thinks he's a failure now, he's not worth being loved He forgets he had the courage to climb up so high The courage to try, the courage to fly
Tab Chorus
Bridge: It's not about success Life is not a test You don't pass or fail you just do your best To see the view from wings of courage To push on through when we're discouraged It's all about the try, all about the ride Learning how you were meant to touch the sky Failures are fliers who touch down Only they know what it's like to leave the ground
Chorus
We don't have to be rock stars We don't have to be rock stars
