1. Precious Declaration Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found Can't crash now, yeah, I've been waiting for this Won't crash now, I found some encouragement 'Cause precious declaration reads Yours is yours and mine, you leave alone, now (aah hah aah hah aah) Precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead, no longer (aah hah aah hah aah) New meanings to the words I feed upon Wake within my veins, elements of freedom Can't break now, yeah, I've been living for this Won't break now, I'm cleansed with hopefulness 'Cause precious declaration reads Yours is yours and mine, you leave alone, now (aah hah aah hah aah) And precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead, no longer (aah hah aah hah aah) Once, I jumped through hoops of fire As high and far as you required Oh, I was blind, but now, I see Salvation has discovered me, yeah! Precious declaration reads Yours is yours and mine, you leave alone, now (aah hah aah hah aah) And precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead, no longer (aah hah aah hah aah) Precious declaration reads Yours is yours and mine, you leave alone, now (aah hah aah aah aah) Precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead, no longer (aah hah aah hah aah)
2. Listen Hey, you're now thirsty Walking in the desert all alone Hey, you're now searching Lost in isolation from your soul From the bullets you bite From the pain you request You're finding it harder to digest And the answers you seek Are the ones you destroy Your anger's well deployed Hey, why can't you listen? Hey, why can't you hear? Hey, why can't you listen? As love screams everywhere Hey, you now hunger Feeding your mind with selfishness Hey, you now wander Aimlessly around your consciousness When your prophecies fail And your thoughts become weak And silence creates necessity And you're clothing yourself In the shields of despair Your courage, now impaired Hey, why can't you listen? Hey, why can't you hear? Hey, why can't you listen? As love screams everywhere And you crucify all your honesty No signs you see, do you believe And all you words just twist and turn Reviving, just to crash and burn You're fighting 'til the bitter end If only your heart could open Open Listen Hey, why can't you listen? Hey, why can't you hear? Hey, why can't you listen? As love screams everywhere Hey, why can't you listen? Hey, why can't you hear? Hey, why can't you listen? As love screams everywhere
3. Maybe The sky now divides To bring you back into the fold Welcome home Still my need to recognize Any comfort you may show Only grows Guess I'll learn to accommodate While my heart just sits and waits Maybe God, you found Maybe is all that you can offer, now Offer, now Where am I to take refuge When the storms of pain release Shelter me This blessedness of life It sometimes brings me to my knees I call on thee And I have not the words to write A farewell to you, tonight Maybe God, you found Maybe is all that you can offer, now Offer, now I know hearts are weeping While your voice is now singing On high Angel on high And I have not the words to write A farewell to you, tonight Maybe God, you found Maybe is all that you can offer, now Offer, now Maybe God, you found Maybe is all that you can offer, now Offer, now
4. Full Circle Drowning to discover I'd swim, but then, why bother? Wrestled with decisions And fools with their opinions One fine morning I'll awake to sleep some more To define my premonitions Last judgement and conditions I'd have to dig in my emotions Then relinquish my devotion One fine morning I'll awake, then hope to learn One fine morning I'll awake to love's return Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love goes round and round Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love comes round and round Singing the rendition Of hope in my condition Caught up in defending That truth is never ending One fine morning I'll awake, then reaffirm One fine morning I'll awake to love's return Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love goes round and round Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love comes round and round Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love goes round and round (love goes round and round) Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love comes round and round (love comes round and round) Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love goes round and round Round and round and round Round and round and round I believe That love comes round and round
5. Blame You pushed me down For all the world to see I guess that's your price For my loyalty So while you tasting sin And swallowing pain Don't look at me To take your blame When your willing to render to the guilt you concede When truth is your reason then lay the blame on me When you unveil a conscience and with peace you agree When love is your constant then lay the blame on me You lay me out In hopes that I'd wilt away But strength rained down And love provided shade So, while the pageant of lies Still glows from you tongue Don't blame me for Your Kingdom Come When your willing to render to the guilt you concede When truth is your reason then lay the blame on me When you unveil a conscience and with peace you agree When love is your constant then lay the blame on me When your willing to render to the guilt you concede When truth is your reason then lay the blame on me When you unveil a conscience and with peace you agree When love is your constant then lay the blame on me, yeah Questions your answers Truth has no anger Gather up your words Redemption now offered Questions your answers Your truth has no anger Gather up your words Redemption now offered
6. Disciplined Breakdown I never ever can remember All the things that go bump in the night Quietness uncovers betrayal now hovers And my comfort levels not quite right I'd love to stay and evaluate But my torture can't wait It seems I'm losing ground Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown I never ever can decipher Who listens to the words I say? While I sense, I'm searching, I never know Who's lurking to scare my sacred thoughts away Well, I'd love to hang and chat a while But my mind's become vile It seems I, I, I'm losing ground Welcome, all, to my disciplined break Breakdown reality Breakdown my ability To get back I wanna get it back Breakdown honesty I breakdown, now, deliver me From all this madness And all this agony I never ever can contribute To finding all the faults that sustain I never mind the answers to who spreads the cancer When the questioning of why remains Well, I'd love to sit and rationalize But my tongue's become dry It seems I, I, I'm losing ground Welcome, all, to my disciplined breakdown It seems I, I, I'm losing ground Welcome, all, to my disciplined breakdown Breakdown Breakdown Breakdown
7. Forgiveness In my silence I would love to forget But restitution hasn't come quite yet And with one accord, I keep moving forth I stretch my heart to heal some more It used to be all I'd want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you As my seasons change I've now grown to know When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe So I wash away stains of yesterday Then tempt my heart with love's display It used to be all I'd want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you It used to be all I'd want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you It used to be all I'd want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh Ooooh ooooh

10. In Between In between us Good and evil wait To lie beside us In our bed, we make In between us Caution never heeds We pray on weakness Then beg for sympathy In between words Silence, parades, so confusion is heard Our voices, afraid to speak up and reassure So, in between words, we remain In between In between us Hope we've yet to see We long for healings But the scars, they never leave In between words Silence, parades, so confusion is heard Our voices, afraid to speak up and reassure So, in between words, we remain Silence fills the void of love and hate An effective tool, when used to separate Now, separate In between words Silence, parades, and so confusion is heard Our voices, afraid to speak up and reassure So, in between words, we remain In between words Silence, parades, and so confusion is heard Our voices afraid to speak up and reassure So, in between words, we remain In between We remain In between We remain In between
11. Crowded Head All the words that I want to hear Are distorted by your weaknesses and fear And your lies that I push away I might accept them on your good self pity day All of your sadness is crowded in my head (ooooooh) And all of your madness is crowded in my head And the peace that I really need You substitute it for your policy of greed Still, your pride always suffocates Any truth that your heart might want to make And all of your sadness is crowded in my head (ooooooh) And all of your madness is crowded in my head With all your static I can't distinguish between what's being said (said) I have no room for this You see, I'm living with a crowded head And the path that I needed shown You left me stranded in the darkness, all alone All the promises you fed to me I'm now choking from the taste of cruelty And all of your sadness is crowded in my head And all of your madness is crowded in my head And all of your sadness is crowded in my head And all of your madness is crowded in my head Crowd Crowded head Crowd Crowded head
12. Everything With the faces I now wear It's only proof my thoughts have become impaired And the courage I shall build Stands at distance, still, yeah Everything is physical Everything takes precedence Everything's admissible Everything is evident And this comfort I've designed Will only stay intact until the truth, I find And as some answers fly around No cure have I found, yeah Everything is physical Everything takes precedence Everything's admissible Everything is evident Guide me, save me, teach me (hey, hey, hey) I need to learn from this (hey) Hold me, soothe me, my love (hey, hey) My love And the reflection I now see Is always trying to blind and discourage me Hey, but my patience shall prevail And myself as well, yeah Everything is physical Everything takes precedence Everything's admissible Everything is evident Everything is comfortable Everything's a brighter shade Everything is suitable Everything is cool, yeah
