"Headphones"

"Headphones"



I don't have to hear it, if I don't want to
I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you
It's a heavy world, it's too much for me to care
If I close my eyes, it's not there

With my headphones on, with my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

We watch television...but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt
I take in the war-fires, and I'm chilled by the current events
It's so hopeless, but there's a pop song in my

Headphones on, in my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

At the Tube Stop, you sit down across from me
(I can see you looking back at me)
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
I want to tell you (It's a heavy world)
Everything will be okay
You wouldn't hear it (I don't want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways...

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
I don't wanna be the one who tries to figure it out
I don't need another reason I should care about you
You don't want to know my story
You don't want to own my pain
Living in a heavy, heavy world
And there's a pop song in my head
I don't want to have to hear it

"Headstrong"

"Headstrong"



Controlled, moderate, plastic
Aware and openly perfect
To know everything
And not see anything

Ingest completely impressive
You wear the law as a jacket
It keeps you warm
It keeps you warm

And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong

Good enough, how sure a foundation
Trip on your graceful emotion
You remember it all
Then cover it all

And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong

It keeps you warm
It keeps you warm

And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong

Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong

"Heart"

"Heart"



I let it get dark, so you'll see the stars
They'll say we're in love, we probably are
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I've given you mine

One flag left to burn, one country to fall
One soul to pour out, one love to catch all
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I've given you mine

No mountains to climb, papers to sign
Offer your heart, I've given you mine
No walls to defend, wars to align
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Give me your heart, you already have mine
Offer your heart, I've given you mine

"Heaven"

"Heaven"



Go undercover, we drop from the screens
We're hunters and lions, we are submarines
Under the surface, slip through the wires
Decipher the code words, disable the liars

And find, glowing on the inside
What's growing on the inside
Heaven's not that far
Glowing on the inside
Showing on the inside
It's growing where we are

We shatter devices, exit the stage
We stop masquerading, to rattle the cage
We face every searchlight at places we hide
We dress up for Eden, the gates open wide

We are, we are, we are
We're hunters and lions
We go undercover, we cover, we cover

"Hero"

"Hero"



One spot on an empty canvas
One chair in an empty room
No place for a revolution
No hope if the signs are true

We stand at the edge of something
Will we ever know what it is
Hold on 'cause the wind is rising
And we can't get away from it

We're in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadow land
We sing while the city's burning
No room, no escape, no plan
We all never thought it would end this way

And we need a hero
To save us from ourselves
We need a hero
To save us from ourselves

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

We hide on our knees in silence
Maybe God doesn't hear at all
And the wait overtakes the violence
And we watch as the giants fall
We're not gonna let it end this way

"Hibernation Day"

"Hibernation Day"



I don't want to get out of bed
You don't want to go out in the snow
We don't have to do the things Eskimos do
Let's have a hibernation day, me and you

The snow is climbing up the door
(So much higher than before)
The weatherman is sure there will be more
(I don't want to go out in the snow)
These blankets make a cozy little cave just for two
Let's have a hibernation day

I love the snap of winter air
And the snowflakes ob my face
How the snowdrifts make the cars
Disappear without a trace
I'll take a day dressed in pajamas
In a room without a view
If I can spend the day
Curled up next to you

I don't want to get out of bed
You don't want to go out in the snow
(It's so cold outside)
Let's have a hibernation day
We don't have to go out in the snow
A hibernation day, me and you

"Hiding Place"

"Hiding Place"



Amidst the sorrows of the way
Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray
Let me taste Thy special grace
And run to Christ, my hiding place

You know the vileness of my heart
So prone to act the rebel's part
And when You veil Your lovely face
How can I find a hiding place

Hiding place, hiding place

Lord, guide my wandering feet
Draw me to Thy mercy seat
I've nought to trust but sovereign grace
Thou only art my hiding place

How unstable is my heart
Sometimes I take the tempter's part
And slight the tokens of Thy grace
And seem to want no hiding place

Hiding place, hiding place

But when Thy spirit shines within
Makes me feel the plague of sin
And how I long to see Thy face
'Tis then I want a hiding place

Lord Jesus, shine and then I can
Feel sweetness in salvation's plan
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place

"Human Race"

"Human Race"



World without end, are you ending?
Labeled a friend you’re unfriending
Disposable me, pose-able you
Any position we want to do

Another song you forget by the ending
Plastic we don’t know we’re spending
My favorite shows have all cancelled
And every patent is pending

Look in my eyes, touch my face
We’re limping along in the human race

Our jeans have become complicated
The promise of love is downgraded
Faith in available excess
Proof we were destined to care less

It’s life on the wrong side of rapture
Dismiss what we can’t manufacture
Compassion just sounds like complaining
Hit the keys but the notes aren’t sustaining

Look in my eyes, touch my face
We’re limping along in the human race
The sound of your heartbeat is out of place
We're limping along in the human race

We lost everything in the fractures
Uprootings and wanted departures

Look in my eyes, touch my face
We’re limping along in the human race
The sound of your heartbeat is out of place
Limping along in the human race

So, look in my eyes, touch my face
We’re limping along in the human race

"Hymn"

"Hymn"


Oh refuge of my hardened heart
Oh fast pursuing lover come
As angels dance 'round Your throne
My life by captured fare You own

Not silhouette of trodden faith
Nor death shall not my steps be guide
I'll pirouette upon mine grave
For in Your path I'll run and hide

[Chorus:]

Oh gaze of love so melt my pride
That I may in Your house but kneel
And in my brokenness to cry
Spring worship unto Thee

When beauty breaks the spell of pain
The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain
But not when love be pointed king
And truth shall Thee forever reign

[Chorus]

Sweet Jesus carry me away
From cold of night, and dust of day
In ragged hour or salt worn eye
Be my desire, my well sprung lye

[Chorus x 2]

Spring worship unto Thee
Spring worship unto Thee

"I Don't Want You To Forget"

"I Don't Want You To Forget"



The touch of lips the close of eyes
They matter more than you surmise
I hide it all in secret boxes
Until tomorrow when we first meet

I watch you fade before my eyes
I can’t take it, but I won’t look away
Maybe the fires that feel so cold,
They won’t completely die away

I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget

I may not let you see my pain
I may not speak hard words in anger
To you maybe it isn’t really strange
You being loved by a stranger

I won’t give you up just yet
I will come calling at your door
Ours is a home we can’t get to anymore

I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget

Behind your eyes there is a distance
I ask you if you’d like to dance
You mistake me for a healer
I’m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
