Book 03:38
There's a book that I am trying to read There's a hammer in my head that is talking to me There's a lover in my heart I can't see There's a book that I am trying to read to me I am holding onto something Greater than myself Hope is hard to come by these days Calling for some help There's a garden I am trying to weed There's a picture on my wall that just won't let me sleep My beloved, on my mind, out to sea There's a book that I am trying to read to me I am holding onto something Greater than myself Hope is hard to come by these days Calling for some help I am holding onto something Greater than myself Hope is hard to come by these days Calling for some help I am holding onto something Greater than myself Hope is hard to come by these days Calling for some help

Dissolver 04:07
Dissolve me like sugar Dissolve me if it's time Do it gently with the touch of your hand Or with a look Dissolve me like sugar Dissolve me if it's time Do it gently with the touch of your hand Or with a look Every morning I wait for dawn That's when it happened before Do it suddenly, just like an execution How else can I get ready for death? Every morning I wait for dawn That's when it happened before Do it suddenly, just like an execution How else can I get ready for death? You breathe without a body like a spark You grieve, and I begin to feel lighter You breathe without a body like a spark You grieve, and I begin to feel lighter You're pushing me away with your arm Your pushing me away is pulling me in You're pushing me away with your arm Your pushing me away is pulling me in You're pushing me away with your arm Your pushing me away is pulling me in You're pushing me away with your arm Your pushing me away is pulling me in Pale sunlight Pale the wall Love moves away The light changes Pale sunlight Pale the wall Love moves away The light changes I need more grace than I thought (Just like an execution) (How else can I get ready for death?) I need more grace than I thought (Just like an execution) (How else can I get ready for death?) I need more grace than I thought (Just like an execution) (How else can I get ready for death?) I need more grace than I thought

Do I feel at home here? Do I doubt? Do I know the difference between my dreams and fears? Am I so alone here? Am I without? Can I be the one to misdirect myself? Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha-ah Ha-ah-ah (Do I feel at home here?) Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha-ah Ha-ah-ah Do I feel at home here? Do I doubt? Do I know the difference between my dreams and fears? Am I so alone here? Am I without? Can I be the one to misdirect myself? Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha-ah Ha-ah-ah (Do I feel at home here?) Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha Ha-ah-ha-ah Ha-ah-ah (Do I feel at home here?)

Say the thing you'd say if you were one Carry me if you can overcome Say what you are Stay where you are How is this a way for you to run? (How is this a way for you to run?) Carry me if you can overcome (Carry me if you can overcome) Say what you are Stay where you are

I know it's a problem I can't write it down The things I am wanting Are deep in me now Are you worried about: All the things you're without? All the things you can doubt? What you don't know? I know it's a problem I can't walk a line And if I have lost it It was never mine Are you worried about: All the things you can doubt? All the things you're without? What you don't feel? But you think all the time If you knew yourself, you'd be just fine But you're not what they think You can calm yourself with a small drink But you're not just a lush You can paint yourself with a broad brush If they find out who you are That you're just white trash Sleeping in your car (your car) I know it's a problem I can't write it down The things I am wanting Are deep in the ground

Deliberate practice is still really hard Tell me you love me and catch me off guard Take my advice and I'll try to take yours In a moment of silence facedown on the floor Facedown on the floor I'm swallowing poison, hope my enemies die I'm making decisions I can't justify But I'm not alone in this big awful mess 'Cause I've got a friend and she loves me the best She loves me the best I'm counting my blessings by twos and by tens I'm seeing my life through a scratch on the lens But I'm leaning in close to the people who ache God's present in weakness and all my mistakes All my mistakes It's bitter in winter, the cross of our king The knowledge that darkness affects everything You're quick to be angry, it's your grandmother's gift All people on earth, from the cup we all sip A cup we all sip

Something is not right In my heart I'm a little too anxious A little too sad I can see all the movement That I never had And it's true Something is not right Something is not right In my heart Something is not right In myself I'm a little too earnest It's a little too bad I can see all the movement That I never had And it's true Something is not right Something is not right In myself Something is not right In my heart

The time's right for us So where do you want to go? I'm here, promise So where do you want to go? Where do you want to go? If you say what A place that I didn't know We can't stay here So where do you want to go? Where do you want to go? Deaf in one ear So speak for me nice and slow Fragile, sincere Where do you want to go? Where do you want to go?

I'm Not Sure 04:12
I'm not sure Could you ask me later? I just need to lay here 'Til these feelings disappear I know you Are in such a hurry But I'm feeling worried That there's nothing left of me There's a dark wind coming in And it might just take me in Do you know something I don't? Carry me Take me up the stairwell No, I know I'm not well But I could not tell you why I'm not sure Who I think I should be As if this world needs me And my thoughts stuck on repeat You're a cold hand on my brow Could you take my pulse just now? Do you know something I don't? I'm not sure Could you ask me later? I just need to lay here 'Til these feelings disappear There's a dark wind coming in And it might just take me in Do you know something I don't? Do you know something I don't?
11.
Maybe I should go to a doctor Tell him all about the things I've seen Talk about how I often hurt you When all you're trying to do is talk to me There's so much I'd say But I probably just won't go anyway Do you get tired of waiting for me When I sit on my hands? Are you tired of how I'm making demands? Can you tell me I'm not alone? Maybe I should go to a preacher Tell him all about the things I've done If I come to you for absolution Would that do anything for all I've wronged? There's still smoke in my lungs From all the breathing I did when I was growing up And I've got poison breath toward you And I can't hardly wait To live one whole day without making you wait Can I clean out my heart myself? There's smoke in my lungs From all the breathing I did when I was growing up And I've got poison breath toward you And I can't hardly wait To live one whole day without making you wait Can I clean out my heart myself? There's still smoke in my lungs From all the breathing I did when I was growing up And I've got poison breath toward you And I can't hardly wait To live one whole day without making you wait Can I clean out my heart myself? Can I clean out my heart myself? Can I clean out my heart myself?

Is It Love 01:59
When my words become a tangle in which I'm knotted up When you can't stand my presence, 'cause I'm feeling stuck When I've got a sickness that won't let up Is it love that rebuilds us all? Is it love that rebuilds us all? When I feel my throat tighten and I freeze with fear I'm at the bottom of the ocean and I think I'll disappear With a cry in the night only God can hear Is it love that rebuilds us all? Is it love that rebuilds us all? Breathe in so deeply the fear can't sneak in Is it love that rebuilds us all? Search for the daylight and wait 'til the end Is it love that rebuilds us all? Friendship in motion some near and some gone Is it love that rebuilds us all? With all my bad habits you still take me in Is it love that rebuilds us all? Is it love that rebuilds us all? Is it love that rebuilds us all?
