Y3K Part One

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!

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?

? 02:43
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 02:33
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
7.
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!

about

Y2K freaked out everyone as the world thought all the computer systems what 'reset' at the turn of the year 2000. Y3K (apart from being a super-cool name) is a concept album about my own spiritual 'reset' which came about in late 2007-early 2008 after reading the book of Romans, especially chapters 5-8. I found my own understanding of 'sin' wildly inaccurate and I found myself shaken to the core as I began to grasp God's take on it in a new light. Part One... well, Part Two is on its way!
