Voices 03:19
The voices are mixing and blurring / but a whisper as they start inching their way inside my mind / but now they're all too loud and I'm drowned out in the whitewash / the horror I wake to when the thoughts that used to chill my blood / are at home in my own head / they're taken over and they never Cease To speak Do I know who I am? When apathy has held my heart For so long now it feels as if My convictions have rusted over Do I know who I am? It's like the man I used to be is a ghost Another life that's so far from me Can I even look in the mirror? The voices shape me And I never even saw it coming The voices shape me I'm sunken in my apathy The voices shape me My identity taken from me The voices shape me Can I return to be the man I want to be? Return Return To the man I want to be

Everything’s a battle for public opinion And your turn to push a viewpoint Claim the position of authority Deliver the killing blow to cement it Arguments are primed and spat With the precision of a shotgun Because it’s better as a sound-bite Over honest, civil interaction We’re just talking past each other We’re all judging by assumption Accusations of ignorance Are pouring from our lips While we’re openly exhibiting That very trait we rail against In an attempt to bring your righteous viewpoint You sunk to the level of those you hate We lose sight Of our neighbours All we see Are assumed agendas They’re the enemy Or so we’re told But to that end No-one can win

Forgotten by the world Voices vying to be remembered in a crowded world So many forgotten because they weren’t the lucky ones It throws, you away when your day in the sun is up And now you’re just another faceless person in the crowd I know the fear of Amounting to nothing I feel the fear of My name being forgotten I need to be Something to someone I crave to be more than a Footnote in our history And though the world may forget my name My Lord will call me as His own So take the fame and its fickle fancy I count it nothing, I count it hollow Worth is not bound to their approval Don’t chain yourself to their affirmation What can they hope to take away from One who knows where their true worth comes from I won’t be chained to their affirmation I’m something to someone and they can’t take that

Endure 02:45
The weight of our convictions, it smothers us It smothers us so we run From the calling in our hearts From the conviction in our bones We’ve given into our doubts They snatch at us so we run From the source of all our comfort Into the arms of demons The enticing demons that only pull us down (I need) More than a little courage to face today ‘Cos inside I’m just a timid child I’m praying for the boldness to move ahead To endure all my inner torment Could we endure? Take my fear Take my pain Take my doubt They are Yours, I will endure

Tomorrow 03:18
Daughters of men are starving for worth Sons of men to grow out of their brokenness Daily we stare that choice in the eye To fall in line and to drag all that weight Or be a voice of dissent to that path To live our lives outside of that fate Every morning I'm tied to that man And every day his will I must break Who will we be tomorrow? If we don't change today Will we be seen as angels? Or will we have misery's face? Who will we be tomorrow? If we don't change today Apathy has two feet and two hands And a face that looks just like mine But I cannot stay in this place and do nothing I have to move to stay here is to die With every choice I will change I won’t fall in line To the path that’s expected of me With every choice
