I will not claim I am perfect
When I know I am not
I will not try to be sneaky
Because with You I am caught
I will not question my faith
And risk all that I've got
I will teach those around me
About what I've been taught

You turned it all around
When I wanted to just die
You told me not to give up
And so I listened and I tried
You are always here for us
That keeps my spirits lifted high
You will greet me in heaven
When on earth I say goodbye

You are my creator
You are my maker
You do more than give
And I am more than a taker
I appreciate You, God
Now I believe
Thank You for everything
The simple fact that I breathe

Tell me about you
Tell me about me
Tell me if what I seem like
Is really what you see

Tell me about our love
And promise me it’s true
Cus I feel you love me less
Than you say you do

Do I even exist
Once you close your eyes
Or is the darkness you see
The shadows of lies?

I wake up one morning
To the chirping of a crow
I wake up the next
To realize everything I know
Is shattered like glass
Or chipped like wood
I want to bring it all back
Oh, I wish I could!
Maybe I’ll truly wake up
Making all of this a dream
But this is probably reality
I can tell by their screams…

Collapsing buildings
Cities overflowing
Gusts of wind
The dark side is showing
City in tears
On the outside, they pity
They just don’t know
The depths of this city
Even after
The manmade disaster
The devil watches
With ecstatic laughter
The city was doomed
From the very start
It stopped pumping blood
Because the city is my heart
