If yesterday was here I
I could turn and face all my fears
When tomorrow calls my name I
I won’t be afraid

Change my name
I’m asking You
To take my fame
And wash it away
I’m on my knees
Waiting for You
To take my vanity, my vanity

As the show goes on
The mirror lies but You
You see through me
And though I try to make believe
I cannot hide my identity

I never knew just what to do
When it came to life and all its promises
I always heard just every word
That came along the way
Now I know just what I sow will always be
The way things really just grow
Forever now please show me how
To fight these feelings, they’re still reeling

No longer will I have to rewind the past
‘Cause I’ve come to grips with this
No longer will I carry this weighted mask
Now I face the day with no shame

I’ve always tried to live the life
But now i”m looking back, it just doesn’t
Seem right how I lived to never give
And always take what wasn’t mine
Indiscreet could never keep
A glimmer in my soul of something more
No longer will I sit and die for something
I don’t even really care for

Where could I go
To escape from You
Break from You
If I moved beyond all eternity
You would be

I fall every time into another place
Where I always find Your single saving grace
Whether I have climbed or fell into the blue
I’m never lost from You

I could ask the darkness
To envelope me
Cover me
But even the night is like the light to You
Shining through

Your signal across the sky
Is trying to bridge the distance
And all of the reasons why
I’m so far away

I know You can move the time
And the space that falls between us
I know You can cross the lights
All I can say is
Break them down

You are what’s turning
My world around
Moving me close
In the moment
With a single motion
Even when all my stars are falling
You pull me from here to You

It feels like I’m falling down
Through atmospheres and orbits away

But You are the satellite
That makes the strong connection
With messages through the night
When I’m going insane

Send them down
‘Cause they’re keeping me alive
Send them down

A million miles away
As close as a whisper
All the words that I can’t say
In a breath of silence
All the truth I’m looking for
Is just beyond my shadow
When I’m spinning in the night

Pull the trigger now - end me
Mark me for the kill
Like I marked Your hands, Your feet, I spilled
All Your blood flowing deeper
To suffocate the sin
Till I drown in You again

I am so alive
Since You took my life
I’m walking dead now
Only You remain
I’ll take the life You gave
I’ll walk from the grave
I’m walking dead now
I am not afraid

Stab it deeper now - spill me
My body left for dead
Like I pierced Your side until it bled
And the blood
Flows freely
It fills me till I see
That there’s nothing left of me

Ten thousand miles from home
And still I know that You are right here with me
They say I must deny the truth
If I wanna live
But I won’t turn from You

Until I live my final day
I’ll speak Your name
I won’t be afraid
Until I draw my final breath
I’ll breathe for You
I’ll breathe for You

I know that You have called me here
But I can’t bear the fear rising in me
You give me strength
To stand when I’m alone
When I’m far away from home
I’m following You

I take a walk in the bitter cold
I try to see Your face
And the way that it used to be
The sky was never gray
There was a time when I let You in
You turned my night to day
But I turned You away

Burn back the sun
Bring back the fire once
Blazing inside this hollow cage
Burn back the sun
You were the only one
To love me with passion’s quiet rage

I have tasted the apathy
It’s bitter on my lips
I am not who I used to be
Betrayal with a kiss
Open arms for the prodigal
You kept the flame alive
You keep this flame alive
