When the salt of your skin mixes in with your wounds
You've inflicted yourself, oh you're fooling yourself
Break it down, break it down like you do
Break it down, break it down like you do
You've been dying to leave, now you'd kill just to stay
And the signs have been pointing in every which way
Break it down, break it down like you do
Break it down, break it down like you do
Oh my home, my home is a place I don't know
We've led wandering lives since we stepped from the garden,
Built a heavenly tower to reach for the stars, and
You just broke it down like you do
So break me down, break me down
Oh my my, won't you make up your mind,
Won't you just let it go, let it go?
Oh my home, my home is a place I don't know
The grass is greener, it's greener on the other side, the other side
Oh we always want what we don't have
The grass is greener, it's greener on the other side, the other side
Oh we always want what we can't have
We've led wandering lives since we stepped from the garden,
Built a heavenly tower to reach for the stars, and
You just broke it down like you do
So break me down, break me down
Oh my my, won't you make up your mind,
Won't you just let it go, let it go?
Oh my home, my home is a place I don't know
High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven's joys, oh bright Heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, oh Ruler of All

Mutineer

Oh Mutineer
Wish you were here.
This old ship's full of ash and broken souvenirs.
All my days, all my days are passing by
I'm afraid I'm losing sight
I'm losing sight
Oh Mutineer,
Please won't you steer?
This old ship's run aground too many times, I fear
All my days, all my days are passing by
I'm afraid I'm losing sight
I'm losing time
But you're no mutineer
You're no mutineer; it's me.

Sailing Into a Storm
02:15
|
|||
|
Too long I've been trying to play it safe.
Too long I've been timid and afraid,
Standing planted with my feet on the shore.
I'm stepping out of this boat into the sea.
Oh let the skies rain down on me.
Why are you all pulling me so hard?
Pulling me so desperately apart
Into you, ocean waves.
I'm stepping out of this boat, into the sea.
Oh let the skies fall down on me.
Chained beneath the tremors,
Hear the ocean weep.
I can feel the memory slipping away
In the calm of the deep.
Though I am under the waves, I will still sing.
Open my lungs, in comes the sea.

Being Human
02:49
|
|||
|
All your bright light is good enough for me.
But oh, my blind eyes see less than you'd believe.
And my selfish heart is a stubborn beast.
It's like fighting a ghost that lives under your skin
Being human, being human.
And you try to escape, but the monster's within
When you're human, when you're human.
I press my face to the glass of the wall
on the other side of Eden,
Hear the serpent say we're even.
Sometimes I believe him.
And I can't blame this on my feeble mind
Or my father's hands or my mother's eyes.
No, there's something wrong with me inside.
It's like fighting a ghost that lives under your skin
Being human, being human.
And you try to escape, but the monster's within
When you're human, when you're human.
I press my face to the glass of the wall
on the other side of Eden,
But I can't break my own way in.

All Your Light
04:33
|
|||
|
When you took a roller to the writing on the wall,
You found that there was nothing you could do.
When you drew conclusions, you came running down the hall,
Screaming.
Healing: it's a slow resurrection, learning a lesson in
Breathing, breathing, and
Bleeding: it's a painful confession, blessed redemption, I'm
Breathing, I'm breathing.
And somewhere there's a sunrise as the world keeps spinning round.
And somewhere there's a brother lying murdered on the ground.
And the dirt cries out for his crimson blood as it's forced to drink it down.
Oh where's the healing?
All your light, passing by,
I turn away with burning eyes
All your light, breaking through,
All my ties are anchored in you.
Oh save me, save me
I'm suffocating in all your light, all your light
All my days, searching for
Phantom waves to bring me to shore
Oh save me, save me
I'm suffocating in all your light, all your light.

The Cory Syndrome
03:00
|
|||
|
Lost in a cloud of my own indecision.
Take over my mind like a beautiful vision.
And I know it's a lie, but it's hard to distinguish the truth.
You cut to my heart with the sweetest incision.
I don't know what I'm searching for
I've got everything I want, but not what I need
Well it's all just a part of this hazy confusion
As I'm filling myself with this deadly infusion.
And it's full of these lies as I'm running away from the truth
'Cause I find that I'm scared of a hard resolution
I don't know what I'm searching for.
I've got everything I want, but not what I need.

Love Enough
03:18
|
|||
|
You keep me at a distance, now don't you?
I guess that's just as well.
I won't ask any questions, darling
And you don't have to tell
Oh how we tear ourselves apart
Yeah we tear ourselves apart
And we push them away, but there's no one to blame
'Cause we tear ourselves apart
All of these moments I wish that I could do over again
But here we go, around and around
And there's love enough for you
Yeah there's love enough for you
Oh there's love enough for you, you don't have to go searching
I know you hide in the silence
Losing yourself in the crowd
But despite all your efforts the sunlight is finding you out
And there's love enough for you
Yeah there's love enough for you
Oh there's love enough for you, you don't have to go searching
Oh there's love enough for you
Yeah there's grace enough for you
Oh there's love enough for you, you don't have to go searching
May I be transformed
I rest in a sacrifice not my own

We Don't Know
02:27
|
|||
|
Oh most things are simple.
We don't need all your theories to see
That we are what we can't help but be.
Human. Human. Human.
And most things are candid.
We don't all your research to see
We're going nowhere as slow as can be
In all directions. We're only human.
Oh tell us something we don't know.
We don't know.
And mostly we're broken.
We don't need your statistics to see
That in this life we can never be free
Of imperfection. We're only human.
Oh tell us something we don't know.
We don't know. We don't know.
We don't know. We don't know.

Horizon
04:01
|

Broke hearts and upstarts and five-dollar fools,
I've seen them all and I've walked in their shoes.
I am finally through. Finally through, oh.
I need a new start, yeah I need a change.
Heaven help me, 'cause all of these chains
Drag me further away, further away from the truth.
And I've been chasing after the horizon.
It teases me with laughter as the bright sun goes down.
Here we are with our feet on the ground.
Love is making a deafening sound.
We're all finally through, finally through, oh.
And I've been chasing after the horizon.
It teases me with laughter as the bright sun goes.
I've been chasing after the horizon.
It teases me with laughter as the bright sun goes down.

Come Alive
03:50
|
|||
|
Take a walk with me
In this white wasteland.
I know the world can be
Just a wasteland.
But there's color, there's color, there's color.
Will you open your eyes?
Oh come alive. Oh come alive.
Won't you just put aside all your grave clothes and come alive?
Take a look with me
At this first sunrise.
The darkest night can be
Such a bleak disguise.
But there's color, there's color, there's color.
Will you open your eyes?
Oh come alive. Oh come alive.
Won't you just put aside all your grave clothes and come alive?

High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven's joys, oh bright Heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, oh Ruler of All
