Never again was all that I could say
the day the sky was painted gray.
Never again will I return.
Someday you'll see the beauty
of the one that you set free.
Oh, you'll see me.
You let me go.
You think you got to me.
You think I'm miserable without you but...
...the truth is that I've finally seen the light
and now I have my 20/20 sight.
You've helped me see
your insecurities
You've helped me see
that you were never ever good enough for me.
The tables turned my dear.
Don't you find it just so funny?
The game of chasing silhouettes.
We'll both go on to liver our separate lives
and find truth in these lies.
Deceive ourselves it's such a shame.
You make this harder with every word you say.
Still think you're beautiful in each and every way.
But you can forget about me cus I'm blotting out your face.
Moving on with my life, my memories erased.

Drowning in my own cistern
that I dug from the depths of the earth and I fell
into this dark shadow that tears away at my worth.
You would think that all of this water would quench
my thirst and satisfy my needs but I-
I always want more and more
when it's You that I should be looking for
And I...I wanna love You
And I...I wanna change
Drowning in my own cistern
that haunts me with infections beyond my repair
and I'm trapped in this sick cycle
that's drawn me since my birth.
So send a rope and I'll muster up some strength
and I won't hesitate, I'll take the way out of this hole
and I'll break all these walls that keep me from You.
So take me and wake me and make me new!
And I...I'm gonna love You
And I...I'm gonna change
And I...I'm filling up on Your water
And I...I'll light a match to my cistern,
stand back and watch it burn!
I'll watch it burn!

Chasing the Sun

It's been two seasons since I've followed
and there's no reason for this sorrow.
The drops outside seem so persistent.
When will these clouds subside and leave some room for air?
And where's the light I found six months ago?
It's been obscured from all these gray skies in my mind.
Been trying so hard to set my mind on things above.
Been trying so hard to learn to love.
But sometimes I just gotta scream
cus the walls are closing in and I'm stuck in between
but I feel I'm on the edge of the shadow...
And I'm stepping out in faith
into the light.
And You're breaking all these chains
binding my heart.
And I'm starting to feel free again
as I begin to breathe You in.
And I'm stepping out in faith
into Your glorious light.
My life is fading with the hourglass
and it keeps changing as the years pass.
People enter in and exit
and the draft from the open door gives me chills tonight.
So come and fill me with Your warm embrace.
Break down my walls so I can see the sun one last time.
Still trying so hard to set my mind on things above.
The world behind me and it's You I love.
And I confess
that I'm a mess
And I confess
that I'm a mess
And I confess (that You are the answer)
that I'm a mess (this pride is my cancer)
And I confess (that I've been trying so hard to)
that I'm a mess (lay my burdens before You)
I'm chasing the sun and seeking light.
