I am the pride I am the lust I am the burning ache I am the you you always were I am eternal fake I am the beast I am the snake I am the love of self I am your heart I am your soul I am the living hell

So open up and let it in. I'm not afraid of anything, I never have been. Burn me up, swallow me, turn me up, follow me.

I am the drip I am the creep I am the ugly truth I am the dirt I am the pain I am inside of you I am the cries I am the lies I am the empty I am the ever growing hole Growing inside of me

No future for anyone

I am the end I am the waste I am the hollow shell I am the numb I am the trash I am the god of self I am the death I am the filth I am the everything I am inside I am alive I am the anything

You can't save yourself

I am the faith that melts away I am the open mouth I am the ache that eats away I am the restless doubt I am the life that ends in tears No point to anything But I am my own

I am I am I am I am

I am the road that leads to no where I'm the nothing I am the tentacles that tangle you I'm the empty I am me I am myself I am I, I am the only thing

I am the never ending lie

worship

Remember Him for He remembers us.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

new life

die to live.

Romans 6:1-4
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

"the most wretched of deaths"

it's interesting how the symbol of so much pain is the symbol of triumph.

2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin,
so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

did we not murder you?

Look at you now just standing there

Like you think you're something
The lights are up
And the crowd is looking your way
Just waiting for what you have to say

So go ahead boy,
Give 'em a little taste of hypocrisy
And maybe a hint of blasphemy
Whatever you're preaching, it isn't me

These people don't look to me no more
They've got their idols in various forms
With lust in their eyes
They crave for more
Take their place with the corporate carnivores
Whoa! keep your focus
Because the day will come
When everyone will give account
For what they've done
Make me proud
Make me proud my son

Look at this broken world
Look at this broken world
Look at my children, oh
They're already gone
Sing to me the love song
Look up
Say your prayers on the steps of the capital
Say your prayers on your knees
Say your prayers
Oh, Look up
Say your prayers

You want it to be like you always thought it would
But all you seem to accomplish is the opposite

You wanna walk with me?
Do ya? wanna walk with me?
Well if you love me
Then just love me
Don't you give me pretty words
Lend your life down at the altar
Let me see how serious you are

(the wedding - "say your prayers")

faith hope charity

losing our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies

Well I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my God for this one
He signs his name with a capital G

"GREED"

(nine inch nails - "capital g")

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a river that is all dried up.
I'm an ocean nothing floats on.
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in.
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot.
I'm a moon that never shows it's face.
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile.
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.

I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run.
I'm a preacher with no pulpit,
spewing a sermon that goes on and on.

Take all those things and I'll bury the past,
and pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass
and be alright. It's alright.
It'll be easier that way.

Well then the sky opened up and started pouring rain,
like He knew it was time to start things over again
and be alright. It's alright.
It'll be easier that way.
