What love is this, that you'd fight on my behalf
You gave it all so I may be free
When I called out to you with tear stained eyes
You turned your face to rescue me from the grave that I had made
I am Entwined as one with you
You have clothed me in courage
We can brave the harshest of storms
I will forever hold on to hope
No matter how far I run
I know that I'm not far Gone
You restore my broken heart
I conquered the enemy
I have overcome with love
I will let this light shine
I will drive out the dark
I am Entwined as one with you
You have clothed me in courage
We can brave the harshest of storms
I will forever hold on to hope
No more compromise
No more giving up
Humanity has lost its love
And longs for the kiss of peace

My spirits sunk so low waiting for you
Where have you gone
I'd do everything I can if it means I can earn your love
But I'm tired of striving to earn it
I barely have the strength to love myself
As I'm staring at the clouds
You're always there for me
And my hands are reaching out for grace
Losing myself in your love
Is leading me to where I need to be
Lies in my heart
Lies in my head
Losing the truth
Losing your love
Falling asleep
Falling away
Can I be saved
Can I be free
Will this hurting heart
Remain a desert devoid of life
Orphaned and alone
Once Adorned in beauty
Now riddled in decay
I want to believe my worth
My overcomer I love you so
Despite my doubts and these desolate hopes
Abide in me I'll be your strength
I suffocate in mellifluous ache
Look towards the light I'll guide your feet
Am I destined to carry this burden
You're not alone I've set you free
That I've long outgrown
As I'm staring at the clouds
You're always there for me
And my hands are reaching out for grace
Losing myself in your love
Is leading me to where I need to be
I've been with you all along
With the pain you have carried
You will never be orphaned
My beloved

Slave

Enslaved to a wage to be buried away
Living life in the dark instead of letting light shine
Discard your dreams for unfulfilling peace
Drowning in doubt
Spend your life in a cycle of survival
You live out your days stuck in the false serenity
Exchange your hearts calling
For the comfort of conformity
Never seeing that you were made to live
Not just to merely exist
Release your tired mind from the bonds of fear
Take a risk to truly live
Ignite that ardent flame that burns within your soul and overcome adversity
Let yourself go and begin anew
Let your heart be the compass that guides you to eternity
Separate from the confines of human invention
Partner with the author of existence and embrace true freedom and deliverance

The conflict housed within garden of my mind
Has long since withered what had bloomed
Within my fragile heart
Choked out by the roots of compromised dreams
Wilted and waning
Bending to the aberrant image of the thief
As we plotted to take my own life
Please don't be subsumed by malicious lies
You are worth more than all this pain
We plunged his vile blade
Into the failing flesh of this wavering wasteland
In attempts of eroding the sacred seed of hope
The king had sowed deep within my soul
Safeguard your heart
Keep your eyes on me
Please don't be subsumed by malicious lies
You are worth more than all this pain
I carried this burden for so long
I hope to shed this skin that I live in
Is there purpose beyond the ache
Or is this all life has to offer me
Don't let me fall among the thorns
Don't let me wither away
Poisoning the soil
Decay sets in
Rotting out the roots
Wilting the stem
Withering beauty
Atrophy remains
Poisoning the soil
Rotting out the roots
I refuse to let this garden die
To be usurped by another's aspiration
You will not reap this harvest
Devour the dust and descend to the depths
Where even death won't dine with you
I am promised a hope for a future
This 'salt of the earth' is not destined for death

Neglect

Words had fallen on deaf ears
Forced to conform to their ideas
Sacrifice my well-being
To give this life some meaning
Was it worth the cost
Knowing that my love could be lost
Weighed down by selflessness
Borrowing the burdens I'm not made to keep
Fill me with living water
Bring me back to life and draw me to the garden I could've been
Struggling to move forward
Tossed headfirst to misfortune
Losing sight of my value
Squandered the gift of existence
Crushed by self deprecation
When I long for restoration
I'm sick of giving my life to worthless endeavors that always seem to leave me wounded
Fruitless attempts at trying to change this broken world
I just wanted make difference
An impact
Just anything that can help better this journey for those around me
Without compromising my convictions
I know there should be strength in numbers
But partnering with humanity seems to leave me weak
Neglect all of your fears
Abide in peace

Keepsake

For the first time I felt at home in your eyes
The love that you poured into me
Was the purest and most honest love I have ever experienced
It washed over me like the strongest of currents
All I wanted was drown within your waves of affection
Although we had a barrier of confused words
Your love crossed the trench of miscommunication
And made it's home in my heart and mine in yours
And even as this distance brings us farther apart
And your love becomes inaccessible to me
And this silence becomes all the more deafening
But I will never forget your laugh
Your touch and your beautiful smile
I will carry this love to my grave
Even if your affections cease for me
I will be forever reaching for you
Though I now return to the husk of a house
To rest this weary head of mine
I will never truly find peace
Home is where my heart is and I left it with you
I left it with you for safe keeping
And I pray that I still have a place to come home to
So please keep the door unlocked
So I can embrace your fragile frame once more
But will there be a home to return to
If the foundation has decayed like our love
For the first time I felt alive
When I was beside you
I feel the weight of your absence
And the vacancy in my chest cavity
I realized that although our love was real
I truly believe that I'll never be able to call your heart my home
Despite the pain, the distance and the ache
I know that I'm not a mistake
I am a son and I am loved completely
