"Only One For Me"
VERSE
god what was I thinking? i didn't mean to hurt you,
i never knew the consequences, and now i'm hurting too,
i wanted it to fill me up, but now i feel more empty,
i ask myself why i need it cuz you're the only one for me.
CHORUS
you're the only one for me,
come into me set me free,
fill me up right to the brim,
take away my guilt and sin.
VERSE
god i focused on myself, i wanted to be in control,
but when i put me above you, i had to pay the toll,
i never want to trespass on your laws again,
but when i do i know, that you'll still be my friend.
OUTRO
i only want to be with you!
"I Want To Be Seen In Public With You"
VERSE
i don't know how i lived without you
all the things that you say and do
always wanna be by your side and gaze into angelic eyes
i love the way your hand fits in mine
please stay with me til the end of time
CHORUS
when i'm not with you you're on my mind
there's not a better girl that i could find
i pray everyday that you'll be mine
cause perfect is the way that you're designed
VERSE
can't fathom why you're with me
is there something that i don't see?
i'm not the perfect guy and that's just not a lie
always try to be like Him
but i'm never like Him
"Everybody Hates Me 'Cause I Won't Shut Up About God"
VERSE
lord I've done it again
got my eye's fixed somewhere else
a place where they shouldn't be
so god I need you to come in
clear up my view
and help this blind heart see
PRECHORUS
father I'm so scared
i don't know what to do
will you hold me close to you
and you say
CHORUS
child come hear
give me all of your cares
whatever you've done
i've already forgotten
VERSE
so I draw near to you
and you fill me up once more
and we continue down this path
but soon I'll go to far astray
and be scared out of my mind
and I'll call to you and say
"Mark Breaks His Drums"
VERSE
mark breaks his drums all the time,
so we have to give them away,
if he would just play softer,
he would have more drums to play.
PRECHORUS
i don't want to give them all away,
i want all the drums to stay,
i don't want to arm-wrestle anymore,
if i must i'll run for the door.
CHORUS
why won't he play softer for me?
will he be the man i want him to be?
mark if you break one more drum,
i certainly will, rip off both your thumbs.
VERSE
i'm tired of telling you this,
can't you just use softer sticks?
if you don't calm way down,
i'm going to tell your mom.
"Story of the Double X"
VERSE
it doesn't matter what you say, i don't care anyway,
i gave you my heart and you just tore it apart!
sorry jsut doesn't cut it now. can't see you again, this i vow.
you wanted to be friends, that's not the message taht you sent.
PRECHORUS
it's ok, i don't care.
CHORUS
i don't need girls to get me through my life.
i've got something better than having a pretty wife.
you can't see him now, but He sees you.
you hurt me deep, but god loves you too!
OUTRO
i don't need girls, i don't need girls, i don't need girls, but i like girls!
"Mark Has A.D.D."
VERSE
got a bunch of stuff in the mail today,
open it up see what it has to say,
administration wants me to pay to go to their school,
man this stinks which one will i choose?
CHORUS
webster or wheaton or umsl or berklee?
thank you my God that you're always with me,
you forgive me when i don't have faith,
you even bless me with my needs.
VERSE
got home from school and looked at my nintendo,
final fantasy was in and i couldn't say no,
even though i had chores and i needed to read my Bible,
when it comes to things like that i'm not reliable.
CHORUS
guitars or drumsets or tv or cds,
what will be the next thing that distracts me,
please clear my head and focus me on you,
i just want to be brand new.
BRIDGE
forgive me.
CHORUS
unfocused and sinful you show me your mercy,
disobedient and lazy you show me forgiveness,
please take my hand and lead me to you,
i just want to focus on you.
"What Else To Say...?"
VERSE
when i think about the works of your hand,
i don't know what to say that hasn't already been said.
all of it's majesty yet you still think of me,
even with my sin when i was your enemy.
yeah you still came down still showed your love,
died for all the sins i was guilty of.
then you rose from the grave taking death far away,
i'm unworthy lord what can i say?
now i'm set free, how can this be?
all the guilt is gone that entangled me.
now God you are my friend.
i love you Lord, I say it again.
CHORUS
i love you,
i thank you.
i love you,
i don't know what else to say...
"Aloha From Brooklyn"
you can't defeat me, i am weak
you can't defeat me, for he is strong
"The Baby Song"
VERSE
mommy, i'm sorry, wut did i do?
i never meant to get in your way.
i wanted to love you and give you a hug,
i know you don't want me, but why do i pay?
CHORUS
i could've put my fingers through yours,
i could've laughed and smiled with you.
i would've had my first birthday,
i would've fallen asleep in your arms.
VERSE
why would i have to run?
my life was placed in your care.
i had a nose, a mouth, a brain,
now i am no, no where!
BRIDGE
and now i'm gone...
VERSE
it's ok mommy i forgive u,
i'm all through with my pain.
think about who i could've been,
please oh please don't do it again!
"The Tango
kicked and punched in the crowd,
broken teeth left on the floor,
pick up your bleeding friends,
not going to dance anymore!
blood and tears from your face,
not the most fun you've had,
maybe it's just not for you,
but don't go labeling it bad.
black eyes, bloody nose, just try, the tango.
"The Mark of One Who's Unworthy"
VERSE
i can't get over the fact that i'm failing in your eyes
embedded sin in my christian disguise
the world revolves around my head or so i think
my revolving world is at your feet
CHORUS
make my crown fall down at your throne
make me know i'm not my own
i know i fail but you use me
my ugly sin is turned to beauty
VERSE
transgressions cloud my view and bring tears to your eyes
wretched soul, transform me
i say i want to focus on heavenly things
but in the end they seem to elude me
"I Found Everything I Need In Your Gaze"
VERSE
my face is stuck in astonished gaze, fastened on my immaculate savior/friend
who am i but a blemish on your cloak, a stain that only detracts from ur look
but that’s impossible for as it comes to be, being ur friend only cleans me
i now am covered by the beautiful cloak, sins covered and blame forgotten
CHORUS
i’ve been forced to honor you
because i fail in comparison
fall down on my face
you’re the perfect son!
VERSE
under the cloak i bask in the love, loving my friend as he loves me
but as i live i begin to seep, through the cloak and causing another stain
it pains my friend to see what i’ve done, but he will forgive and clean my mess
it’s not easy and in fact it hurts sometimes, but i know it’ll make me be a better man!
BRIDGE
my life feels whole and i want it to stay that way, i can see that i’m nothing without you
