Prisoners in the Streets 04:07
lyrics

When I think of days that are yet to come My lungs get squeezed Then I think of you You suffered enough, holy Jesus When I think of times that are yet to come I think I know the reason Why everyone should stand and cry out loud “Holy Jesus” I was born wild at heart for a reason I will stand up and fight, holy Jesus Prisoners in the street are holding their Bibles Getting injected with precious little diamonds Prisoners in the street are holding their grudges Getting injected with precious little diamonds When I think of days that are yet to come My hearts beats louder and freezes If anyone could stop what’s coming around Holy Jesus When I think of days that are yet come My heart beats loud and freezes If anyone could stop what’s coming around Holy Jesus When I think of times that are yet to come I wish I’ll never witness the power of control over the millions engines

War 05:49

Down by your feet I am lying begging for love Is this what you wanted my darling You can't get enough I will stay here to remind you of your methods of war That you have unwittingly started Now I am down to the world Bow down down Look what you have done Bow down liar And see what you have done to me Save yourself honey Are you lost in despair I don't care Save yourself baby You're not supposed to be there And I couldn't see why I was bleeding You've opened up your hands It was misleading Bow down down Look what you have done to me With all your lies Harmless tortures Celebrate your victory Love you take and hate out of it you make No I won't take it easy My God I know I'm something you'd hardly understand But my heart is not broken yet My god I know I'm something that can pretend That it is not defeated yet

Actress 05:43

I wonder why it surprises me how I get over The silence that I used to keep in me is now louder than a thunder Don't touch, this body is aching from every word you'd throw I had to abandon myself to get what I deserved If I live in my own reality Does it mean that yours wasn't made for me If I'm lost in your sick reality Does it mean that it wasn't made for me What's with her smile She's gone demoniac I sit by the river alone I see all my life is playing another role What a bad actress I keep the unknown behind the masquerade Don't wanna be in this skin I share the burden with each character I'd play You won't find me in this book Do you think it deals with hypocrisy That I've been hiding so deep inside of me What if I live in my own reality Does it mean that yours wasn't made for me If I live in my own reality Does it mean that yours wasn't made for me If I'm lost in your sick reality Does it mean that it wasn't made for me

All That I Have 06:55

I know what she’s done and I know where she’s been All of us were friends It’s hard to describe in the few words How we fell apart All of us were friends It’s hard to deny Will you remember my name? Will you be the first to take the blame? And all the time that we spent Will you remember it? Did we close our minds From each other’s eyes Do you feel safe and sound wrapped in the cold wife’s hands I feel so small without you by my side Jesus, please hold on Are we now grown up? Will you remember my name? Will you be the first to take the blame? And all the time that we spent Will you remember it? All that I have is what’s inside of me Why is it so hard to take When will my heart get all I need When will I be what I’m meant to be? All that I have is what’s inside of me Underestimated gift When will my heart get all I need When will I be what I’m meant to be Will you remember my name? Will you be the first to take the blame? And all the time that we spent Will you remember it? I’m treading water and I will go down Leaving a thousand miles behind I’m treading water, I don’t know why I’m treading water, I will go down Leaving a thousand miles behind I’m treading water, will you be there for me? All that I have is what’s inside of me Why is it so hard to take When will my heart get all I need When will I be what I’m meant to be? All I need is inside of me Underestimated gift When will my heart get all I need When will I be what I’m meant to be

about

This album is about finding something really precious in any difficult life experience. It's usually hidden and non-obvious and you've gotta dig deeper to see that in any difficult situation in life there's a gift sent to you from above. It can be wisdom, awareness, better understanding of yourself or a lifelong friend. But you should know that it's always there and you should dig deeper to see it.
