about

This collection is songs is something inside of me. Searching. Questioning. Doubting and debating. In no way is this album meant to offend but rather make the listener open their minds a little and dig deeper into what they believe and find out why they believe.

Track Name: Hymn of Failure
praise praise praise his name
whomever that may be
hymns of failure, keep my at bay
but with my heart ill have to pay
Track Name: Growing Bored
youre at the pew with your arms stretched open
and a bible laying next to you
yeah, youre pretty good at tempting me , baby
but your poisoned apple wont do
and im growing bored with you

now youre calling his name and you shout for glory
as the spirit comes down to you
but ive got a noose called hell around my neck
and your saving grace wont do
and im growing bored with you

im in a mess, this ill confess
confusion always get the best of me
heaven or hell, well now i just cant tell
which one will be offered up to me
Track Name: Demise
ive got the threat of hell hangin over me
its like a weeping willow or a broken evergreen
and ive seen the evidence right before my eyes
but i cant help to wonder what will by my demise

i beg the question every single day
right or wrong well whos to say whats the righteous way
and when my time is finally up i guess ill finally see
what the maker of my life has in store for me
Track Name: Reflect
i am not ready to focus on this pain
to face all this shame from my life
nor do i want to look the master in the eyes
disguise all my lies and be cast away

and i need a moment to reflect

and i honestly admit that i wouldnt really care
if this whole affair was meaningless
but people often tell me that is not the case
im losing the race, in last place

and i need a momemnt to reflect
honey i need a lifetime to reflect
Track Name: Facebook Statuses
and all the while youre sleeping
im acting as if i behave
placing all my secrets into a shallow grave
well hush now darling dont you weep
for you know not what ive done
im just out chasing past ghost with my gun

my mind is killing high hopes that salvation still exists
but youre still praying for my soul and you just cant resist
advertising your beliefs on facebook statuses
you rebuke me and it never ends

and ive got one last thing to say to you my fickle friend
if the holy spirit supports you, i think id rather live in sin
cause your take on the word makes me sick
and im sure your saviors pissed
please take note, i hope you learned from this
Track Name: Love Never Dies
a gun pointed at you
straight at your face
its cocked and its loaded
as your stalker states
please stop your crying
tonight it will end
forever together
cause i have a plan

your body lies lifeless
in a puddle of blood
your stalker next to you
his hand on the gun
he pulls the trigger
one final time
tonight in his basement
love never dies
Track Name: Down On My Knees
take a look inside this darkness
what ya see is what ya get, its me
well its just me

im lookin out for what is righteous
yet im headed straight to hell, down on my knees

just another story of soul searching for the truth
the truth oh lord give me the truth
always come up empty handed and looking like a fool
what did i do

never feelin lovin yeah im always feelin hate
just lookin for enough strength to keep me on my feet
and if tomorrow never comes what did my life mean
just another loser chasin after broken dreams
cause ive felt alone girl yah ive alway known the blues
sittin alone on the floor inside my room
while i listen to the records that build my broken dreams
still im headed straight to hell while im down on bended knees

take a look inside this darkness
what ya see it what ya get its me
oh baby its me
Track Name: Hymn Of Failure (reprise)
praise praise praise his name
whomever that may be
hymns of failure, keep my at bay
but with my heart ill have to pay

amazing grace i wish could be found
to save the wretch in me
i am so lost, i am bound
im blind and destined to be

praise praise praise his name
whomever that may be
amazing failure, down on my knees
what a let down i must be
Track Name: Broken Church (demo)
im falling short in every way it seems
lonesome tired broke and never pleased

aint nowhere i could ever call my home
wont settle down cause im better off alone

now im a broken church thats been abused
broken glass and empty splintered pews
the alters burnt and puplit misused
and theres more souls lost than there are new

so whats the cost for the souls that are lost by me and you?
so whats the price for the fraud thats committed for paradise?

sometimes i feel like ive dug my own grave
ill turn my back when i hear you call my name

i lose myself in my own selfish ways
you paid the price and still i betray

now im a broken church thats been abused
broken glass and empty splintered pews
the alters burnt and puplit misused
and theres more souls lost than there are new

so whats the cost for the souls that are lost by me and you?
so whats the price for the fraud thats committed for paradise?
