Vows 03:58
A modern marriage Maybe we'll make it some how But we have our own plans I hear you say your vows So we have the big wedding The day I nearly send myself broke And the gown that you only wear once Only reaffirms we should have elloped Now it last about two years You're crying over browser histroy And I find my hands around your neck Then echo back your fake apology And you become distant And break down in a panic And the arguments begin And we yell until we make ourselves sick Is this how it's meant to be? Stay until it hurts? For better or for worse? Reflections of our broken hearts? Flying through the house Gagging out our mouths Pride is a plum sized pill Sliding down my throat Oh my God it hurts Healing is a humble pie Take a bite a see I've got to bend the knee Broken vows mar this story Oh I was wrong How can I make this better for you? My heart is a ticking bomb I've gotta change How can I make this better for you? Better for you

Hunter's eyes are tracing lines The lust and lies are caught in her trail Dressed to kill, anxious inside She hides beneath the cover of night Faux girl, who stole your worth? Your facade isn't who you are Parading in a madden avery She dances for no one else Tonight the night consumes her This time she dances for no one else Faux girl, who stole your worth? Your facade isn't who you are Faux girl, who are you trying to please? Your facade isn't who you are

The Motions 05:03
I've been feeling dry I've been drowning In the ordinary My hands are tied I've been slowly Suffocating And it's you I seek To lift this downcast soul And it's you I seek To renew this weary heart Where do you dwell? I've been lonely In this crowd of many Do you hear my howl? It's been drowned out In the noise of nothing And it's you I seek To lift this downcast soul And it's you I seek To renew this weary heart Signs of a new day break through Caught in the motions of life I'm seeking escape from here

Time 05:15
You're always on my mind I want to go back in time So I can be with you once more Left without saying goodbye Opened those glassy eyes Still send shivers down my spine Oh I've been heart broken For far too long My dad is gone Oh and my silent song Still carries on Like nothing's wrong Papers in picture frames This house, my middle name Memory and legacy unfold Mother you're not alone In your weakness God is strong So don't put the burden on yourself Oh you've been heartbroken For far too long Your man is gone But don't let your life be hung On what went wrong There's more to live for Turn all your ticking clocks off Let time stop ‘Cause every grain of sand that drops Loosens the knot

Sojourn 05:43
I know I caught a vision I saw the span of time This life is but a glimmer Before an endless line Well it’s now or never Our mortal coil will sever If we perish together Will you live forever? I know I live forever I have the living water There is no time for slumber I roam the earth a stranger Hold fast O my brother And forsake your mother You may end a martyr But we’ve a faithful Father And you’ll find your way So take heart now in The darkness you face And we’ll lie awake In the refuge of A heavenly embrace Oh return to your rest You’ve been delivered from death Your eyes from tears And your feet from snares And you’ll find your way So take heart now in The darkness you face And we’ll lie awake In the refuge of A heavenly embrace All I ever had Slipped through my hands Have I laboured in vain? With glory before me As I breath my last I long for my homeland When I curl and die I’ll wake to see your face And I’ll know my life Was not emptied in vain We have a future hope This place is not our home

Though my sins had forged the nails It was love that held you there O how great the cost to bring us home Hallelujah sings my soul I squandered all your wealth I fled to distant lands I ran as hard as I fell Only to be met with your embrace Though my sins had forged the nails It was love that held you there O how great the cost to bring us home Hallelujah sings my soul O such reckless love
