Failure is an awful thing
Have I lost the strength to sing
Songs that point my friends toward peace?
Servant in despondent slough
Sinks into the sadness now
(I don’t know how I got here)
I fall asleep inside my shadow
And I don’t know how to get home
So I glamorize the darkness and say,
“This is how I’ll be known”
But I really want to get home
“Take responsibility”
Have I the ability?
It’s easier to be a victim
My mind’s a shadow
My body’s a lost hope
But faith is the substance of a hope that’s still unseen
I can’t see what I believe
But I won’t grieve
I still believe You
I fall asleep inside my shadow
But I’m done pretending I’m alone
And if this body keeps on fading
I won’t fall away
I won’t
I’ll keep on until I get home

Catchy melodies, masterfully crafted instrumentation, and thought provoking lyrics. A big step up from the last album, and I really love that one. Highly recommend for all your mathy pop rock needs. Lauren Elise
