What Friday wanted (Busy) 02:47
lyrics
doing nothing and everything at once i'm sorry, i'm busy do you want to know who i am? inside. (hey!) staring at the wall till my eyes can't focus on it anymore don't call me i'm busy ladies and gentlemen, i now present to you my backpack but be careful, it's very heavy i have the spirit in me but i still feel weak my feet are calloused and weary i need something to eat. i need accountibility i need the strength of God to carry me if it ain't working don't fix it i won't take your call cause my phone is muted face down on the floor don't call me i'm busy busy is as busy does i am busy just because busy is as busy does i am busy always was don't call me i'm busy

Accustom to hardship (Dolerite) 02:45
lyrics
I don't know what I gotta do but I'm tryna fix myself up I'm trying this singing thing out cause it's better than keeping tears welled up Face burns hotter than a welder Why can't I be serious about being better? Still fettered, asymmetric dungeon dweller Yelling for help but not stepping out of quicksand (look out!) Can't unhand the sins spilling out of my cysts and into an abyss Kiss kiss, bye miss I'm trying hard but I find it quite amiss I am befuddled, brain is muddy and muddled Look now my trouble has doubled Cause no matter how hard I struggle I sink down deeper in the puddle I can do nothing on my own but it's okay You'll make a stonehenge out of me I know I'm never on my own and it's okay Cause you'll make a stonehenge out of me I can do nothing on my own but it's okay You'll make a stonehenge out of me I know I'm never on my own and it's okay Cause you'll make a stonehenge out of me You give me purpose and fortitude I know life's worth it when I live for you Nothing satisfies but You alone Carve me into precious stone I'm not my own I'm preciously treasured All that I do I do for Your pleasure Lift up my weight I feel light as a feather You give me mercy beyond all measure I can do nothing on my own but it's okay You'll make a stonehenge out of me I know I'm never on my own and it's okay Cause you'll make a stonehenge out of me I can do nothing on my own but it's okay You'll make a stonehenge out of me I know I'm never on my own and it's okay Cause you'll make a stonehenge out of me

Sentence finisher? (485) 04:46
lyrics
Ticonderoga, Duluth, Minnesota I've never been but I'd like to say Aerial lift bridge, You knew that I'd miss it And You'd be two thousand miles away I wrote You a poem though my riddles were unknown Inside I found something that I'd keep A trinket of memory that tells if just maybe I would put some faith in counting sheep Welcome to my home, Nicholas Sparks Can I get you something to drink while you tear my life apart? I was betrayed by myself I woke up in someone else's room All my regrets were abounding I found your response astounding I was betrayed by myself I woke up in someone else's room All my regrets were abounding I found your response astounding I wasn't sure what your plans for me were but In my head they were not crystal clear What have I to show for, I keep piling on more My favorite song had made me feel weird I wrote you a quatrain to renovate my brain I was wearing blinders like a racehorse Eyes on the prize, I forgot about real life I ruined what I thought couldn't be made worse Welcome to my home, Nicholas Sparks Can I get you something to drink while you tear my life apart? I was betrayed by myself I woke up in someone else's room All my regrets were abounding I found your response astounding I was betrayed by myself I woke up in someone else's room All my regrets were abounding I found your response astounding It's still there in my drawer It's still there in my dresser drawer It's still there in my drawer It's still there in my dresser drawer

Attack from concealment (Resurrection Day) 03:18
lyrics
My body's broken You had a resurrection But this Easter I'm still feeling dead I'm diving in your blood And I don't know what I keep fighting this battle for You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth My brain is frying I feel like crying But there's only So much tears can do Invisible headache Emotional earthquake Jesus I need you To calm the storm You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth There's no rest for the wicked, must be why I can't sleep I know I've been forgiven, but I'm human and weak I wish I could stop sinning I've already been freed I lock myself in prison and I swallow the key There's no rest for the wicked, must be why I can't sleep I know I've been forgiven, but I'm human and weak I wish I could stop sinning I've already been freed I lock myself in prison and I swallow the key You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth You already won Crushed the serpent's head So why do I stay up all night in my bed? I have no need to be upset You're the best but I feel like the worst Give me new birth There's no rest for the wicked, must be why I can't sleep I know I've been forgiven, but I'm human and weak I wish I could stop sinning I've already been freed I lock myself in prison and I swallow the key

Shoulder, as a burden (Drawings) 03:23
lyrics
I know it's hard to break the cycle Just know that we all make mistakes sometimes Those who we love can act like rivals But we can forgive Don't be afraid to hang your drawings on the wall You won't fall Don't be afraid to hang your drawings on the wall Stand up tall I've been gone for almost a year now We've both been growing stronger on our own God strengthens us even in our doubt He will give you peace

about

An album about the imperfections of mankind, the perfection of God, and my reflections those subjects. This album sounds melancholic but really there is much joy in it. It's such a beautiful day.

"This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it."
-Psalm 118:24
