What if I could move mountains
And gave all I had to the poor?
Would it mean a thing?
Would it mean a thing if I don't have love?
What if I used all the gifts
And gave my body to the flame?
Would it mean a thing?
Would it mean a thing if I don't have love?

And when I pass through that veil
I know perfection comes
The chains will come off
The walls will fall down
The scales will drop
And I'll see Him face to face

Love came to earth so we'd see
A different way to live and grow
Self-seeking in nothing
To show us what it means to walk in love
To show us how to always trust
To persevere and always hope
Give thanks in everything
To show us what it means to walk in love

Love is patient, love is kind
It doesn't envy, doesn't bind
It means everything
It means everything when you have love

Waiting for a sign that never came
Waiting, pinching nerves to stay sane
Can't erase the time, forget the past
Knowing good times come and go so fast

Denise it's not all set back in time
Denise just lay it down and you'll find
You've changed

Nowhere girl, a cage you've come to know
Still wondering, Where did they all go?
Plan a recluse life down to the day
While you have chains to lose
And a whole world to gain

Denise, Denise it's time
Time to seize the world
Denise it's time

Denise it's not all set down in stone
Denise just lay it down and you're home
You've changed

N/A

Epicurean theme to a never-ending sequence
Burns me out, dries me up
Up and out and through
My plans disappoint, drain my cup
Blind man sat in his room and he cried
Tomorrow promised me triviality
Bite the bait, swallow the hook
Hooked in routine instead of living
Wonder what's become of me

What's become of me?
What's become of me anyway?

I've been uncaring, unconcerned
Except at what comes dangerously close to
Overturning my house of cards
Falls fast and furious
Scattering shapes of well-worn self-conceit
Blind man shook his fist and he cried
Surely those were my rights
As if it were as bad as that
To be condemned to doing as thou wilt
Wilt and fade away
The kernel must first
So here I wait for You

I wait for You
I wait for You all the while

My way sucks and I don't know what to do
My way sucks and I don't know
My way sucks and so I'm giving it all to You
My way sucks and so I give

So this is who I become
When You leave me to myself
A burned-up, hollow, angry, empty shell
An actor on a barren stage
An even-keel with unchanneled rage
Sinking deeper into hell

Bind me to You
Pierce me straight through
Consume me with Your fire
Ravage my heart
Tear me clean apart
And still be my Desire

As I descend it starts again

Sliding down, spiraling
Gasping on the breath of corruption
Fighting undertow
Holding on, realizing
My own hopeless helplessness
Finally letting go

All is madness as the flames engulf me
Oblivion
Refining fire making ashes of this life
Burn, Fire, burn
Clean this holy temple
Resore Your holy Name
In the onslaught of Your love

And now, as gradual as the fall
The dawn of hope
The brilliant sun sending all the shadows fleeing
Sweet daylight
A new man rising from the ashes
Clothed in white, bearing a new name
I leave it all behind and take to flight

These four walls and late nights brooding
Never changing, never moving
It seems, it seems
Momentum's at a crawl
The ants are in the kitchen
The mice are in the walls
This noise in my head
Could make this building fall

I've got to get out of here
And I gotta get out now before I crack

Mac & Cheese and minute rice
And instant pleasure's always nice
It seems, it seems
Real things take much too long
And I say now's the time to take a stand
And sit back down hasty young man
Did you really think the world
And all it's offered
Could have done you so much wrong?

SE #101 forever
SE #101 till I die

These four walls and late nights brooding
Never changing, never moving
It seems, it seems
Momentum's at a crawl
The ants are in the kitchen
The mice are in the walls
This noise in my head
Could make this building fall
I've got to get out of here
And I gotta get out now before I crack
Mac & Cheese and minute rice
And instant pleasure's always nice
It seems, it seems
Real things take much too long
And I say now's the time to take a stand
And sit back down hasty young man
Did you really think the world
And all it's offered
Could have done you so much wrong?
SE #101 forever
SE #101 till I die
