Transgression
05:02

Father, hear these words brought from the hole I’m in
Call to arms to level out the Transgression… yeah!
One ear to the diagnostic whisperings
A hole is found that will cause the end of things
It’s not just the blood loss from the hole that stings
So much more, the infection of guilt it brings!
Discovering the fresh wound, I end its sin
But I’m left with feeling faint – the drag begins
Effectiveness lessens as I’m drawn within
I can’t fight with parasites beneath the skin
It envelops me – moves to sink its teeth
I try to thrash against its theme, but I am left a reeling
Will not allow myself to give it away
Refuse to give in… fight on through the pain…
It’s only with open eyes that I see
I could never win this fight – stupid me
As I fade, God kicks in, brings it peace
Its only when I am strong that He feels weak
There is now no condemnation for those who
Are in Christ for he has met the debt of sin
Father, hear these words brought from the hole I’m in
Call to God to level out the Transgression… yeah!

The Biggest Quest
02:38
|

Hey, I confess
An illusion, at its best
Is the image I present
To the masses
Of the famous Ten
I have kept all none of them
But then who has done this thing?
Not a one!
Hard look within
If I’m ever to begin
To turn this race into a win
I must answer
By far the biggest quest
Is to get inside my head
And to work out what it says
To the guilty
Debt is not my friend
I am no longer condemned
So, then why must I be hemmed
By the effects?

I am over this!
The drawn-out state of great remiss
The best thing wrong could do
Is make me feel I failed at this
But, now I attack
The feelings that have held me back
So, I must answer this:
Is it guilt that removes the bliss?
I can feel it near
So close I almost feel its fear
If I answer it
I will step up away from here
What it seeks to do
Is keep me back from getting through
Too late! Growth is here!
The Glass Ceiling’s end is near!
Why must I dwell on what brings me down to my knees?
I can’t walk two steps forward without feeling the weight pull me back!
What must I do to rip this grief that plagues my soul away?
Doesn’t God know that He’s made a mistake in wanting to save me?!
I question! I answer none
I look to self – is that so wrong?
What answers, when all this is done,
Will be the ones that will take me home?

Hot Shot

I am made to fly!
I f I didn’t weigh so much…
I am built for speed
But, I can’t escape this second gear
Down at the lot on Sunday
I’m better than him, I’m worse than her…
I’ll raise my hands high
As soon as I’m a better man
I’ll grow as I should
Just as soon as I grow
Down at the club on Sunday
I’m worse than him, I’m better than her…
What is it that I could be waiting for?
If I’m waiting to be pure
That was buried long ago
Down at the place on Sunday
No better than him, no better than her!

Dwell
02:07
|
|||
Every forward action reminds me of a backward step
Every breath that I draw has a weight of its own
Calculating a way out is taking its toll
The more I ponder on this, the more that I dwell
Consider every angle, to make myself debt-free
Weight up every reason as to why I feel weight
Am I looking for answers where none can be found?
Is my error trying to solve where I dwell?
It’s not just the answer
Or the question
The fact that I’m slowed down
By the memory
Like a little gremlin
Taps my shoulder
At every opportunity
To remind me so!
I know all the theory, but still I fail to see
The weight I think that own is not inside of me
Perhaps there’s no question for me to try answer
Maybe it doesn’t exist, this thing on which I dwell

Wait… I’m looking in the wrong place
Bait is taking me the wrong way
I’m trying to find an answer where there is none
Maybe that is the answer anyway
Hey – I’ve focused in the wrong place
I’ve been looking in instead of looking every way
Preoccupied within myself
It’s easy to stop thinking of you when I’m thinking of nothing else
“Look upward and look out!
I thought you would have worked it out
Eyes up and you’ll turn about
That’s what this is all about”
Fate – I’m always gonna get it wrong
But, dwelling on it will keep me down there far too long
A cunning plan – Satan is a poo-poo-head
For trying to break me down for doing God’s thing
I’ve been focused on the negative
Being pulled down by my own initiative
Leave it to itself
Accentuate the positive!
