Your Eyes Failed You

v1:a situations just a situation
until you make of it what you will
you can choose to make up a stupid story
or you can choose to see what's real
findings faults when theres no problem
is quite a gift to have you know
for seeing things that don't exist
would be the greatest trick at anybody's show

c:your eyes failed you this time
what's your ambition for seeing lies
are you planning to tell them what you saw
why would you let someone hear what you say
when the truth you think is right
turns out to be so fake

v2:let's think about this one more time
take the remote and press rewind
and tell me what you saw in your mind
actions acted out seem so different
from how you remembered it
i wanna hear you say it
i just wanna here you say that you were wrong

b:so let this go cause you just don't know
don't try to say you know because you don't

This Dying World

v1:wheres the hope that this world once stood on
faith in things is all but gone
and saying things are black and white
is such and understatement
cause now there seems to be more black than white
choices made are so far from the light
and darkness seems to have made it's home here

c:and what's our fate?
it doesn't have to be this way
we're falling closer and closer every day
to an ending we don't have to face
it's all in the choices you make
it's all in the choices we make

v2:and wheres the things that we once fought for
we let them go and walk away
a price was paid for us all
but somehow we seem to forget that day
when blood was spilled and tears were shed
for you and me
God please forgive us all for we know not what we did

b:and chances wasted on stupid things
and yet we've messed up
we still have opportunity
cause we've been forgiven
it's up to you to change
do not close your eyes on
what you need to see

These Words

for the moments when i feel faint
when i feel like giving up
and this world is just too much for me
You let me know that You are here
You let me know You will never leave me here

and no matter what it is that i'm going through
i will hold on to these words You've said to me
and when it seems so easy to just let go
to let myself fall, i know that
i will not give up, i will not give up

to breakdown seems so easy to do
when everything's so hard
but i've been told we learn through adersity
and when things don't go my way
i've been taught to say

that no matter what it is that i'm going through
i will hold on to these words You've said to me
and when it seems so easy to just let go
to let myself fall, i know that
i will not give up, i will not give up
You have not given up on me
i will not give up on what You want me to be

Fall Down

v1:i tend to over react on things
that don't even really matter
i always over eggagerate
two plus two makes four
i always come out with eight
why do i let myself fall down
when i know i can keep myself up
this never makes any sense
when i'm confused about the simplest things

pre:and on and on and over again
confusion always finds me out

c:i will hold on, this won't last forever
i will give this time
hoping things will only get better
and i will not break down
and i will not give in
i will not fall down
God please don't let me fall down

v2:it's a long way down
for something so small
and i don't wanna do this again
i'm tired of confusion
and i'm ready to move on from this
why do i let myself fall down
when i know i can keep myself up

pre:and why can't i put this to an end
my mind is always filled with doubt

Young and Stupid

v1:makin movies on saturdays about grandmasters
and finding ways to make progress in forward motion
stayin up late playin video games
not to mention we snuck into the church that week
just to spend some time with our friends
and those days are long and gone
and those days we will always miss
times well spent being young and stupid

c:whoa i will not forget
whoa those days and nites we spent
trying to make the most out of what we had
and whoa i wish i could go back
whoa cause these days just lack
the greatest feeling that i used to feel

v2:forget trying to keep new year's safe
didn't know throwing firecrackers in your face
could be so much fun
and when there seemed to be nothin else to do
just drivin around seemed to be ok with you
as long as we spent time with friends
and those days are long and gone
and those days we will always miss
times well spent being young and stupid
