150 Million (-1)
Verse 1:
Take it slow
Come dance with me
All Around the world until we find
Our missing piece
Verse 2
Let it flow
Don't hold your tears
Just abandon the worries of this moment in time
Cast off your fears
Chorus:
I've got a hundred fifty million reasons why I need you by my side
And if we work together, Baby, We can change the world one life at a time
Somehow I feel my life has just begun
A hundred fifty million minus one
Hey, hey
Verse 3:
Lost and found
We are all the same
Put yourself on the path to where you know you should go
Let the current take
Verse 4:
How can we say
That we love the poor
If we don't even know a single name out of all
The broken in our world

I Pledge Allegiance
V1
Oh the flag of your Babylon
Stirs an anthem within
Sing for God and for country, son
Raise the banner again
V2
Soldier boy standing tall and proud
On the bones of the lost
If your god told you strike them down
Who could question the cost
Prechorus
But hey,
What if that’s not your father’s voice
I said hey
What if that was not his call
Hey
What you’ve done to the least of these my brothers
You have done to us all
Chorus
I pledge allegiance to the cause of the broken
Stand at attention to the words never spoken
I will be faithful to the dying child I have never seen
I pledge allegiance to the shattered heart of my enemy
V3
If you live by the edge of the knife
You will die by the same
Listen closely to what you’ve heard
Rid your heart of the hate

Open Season
Verse 1:
I thought I had it all worked out
Thought I had a category
For the brokenness I found
In your ever-darker story
I thought that I had seen
The worst that you could offer
But never had I dreamed
That you would burn me on the altar
Chorus:
You took your aim
You chose your treason
Yes, I swear it's open season
On my heart, on my faith
Hey, hey
Verse 2:
I tried to cover up the taste
Of the bitter cup you poured me
I sought to wash it all away
turn darkness into morning
You should have been a saint
But you chose to play the sinner
I'm running low on grace
Too late to reconsider
Chorus:
You took your aim
You chose your treason
Yes, I swear it's open season
On my heart, on my faith
Hey, hey
You took your aim
You chose your treason
Yes, I swear it's open season
On my heart, on my faith
Hey, hey

The Activist (feat. Lindsey Saunders)
Verse 1:
Just look around, think about what you’re gonna shout about
Before you can bring it home
It’s gotta be catastrophe before you’re gonna wake the beast
The media is gone to sleep on its own
Prechorus:
I Gonna be there a standing oh so high
I Gonna be the lightning in the sky
Verse 2
Take a long hard look at this, activist, raise a fist
‘til they sense your defiance
Don’t let it go, not a soul can control any more of your mind
Til you sign up in for blindness
Prechorus:
I Gonna be there a standing oh so high
I Gonna be the lightning in the sky
Chorus:
Oh it’s alright
Just let it burn
Don’t pull away
Until you see the tables turn
Oh it’s ok
Just let their voices ring
Until you hear the children sing
Verse 3
Oh I know you gotta choose what to view on the news
Turn it off whenever you see their suff’ring
Insulate, propagate a sense of fate, would you say
That they got exactly what they had coming
Prechorus:
I Gonna be there a standing oh so high
I Gonna be the lightning in the sky

Break It Down
Verse 1
The earth is groaning underneath the weight of curses wrought
The ground it begs for justice for destructions you have brought
How long will I attempt to woo your cold and calloused heart
I’ve got a love so deep you could never dig a well down to it
Chorus:
Break it down
Tear this wall down from the sky
Break it down
Our love must break it down
Interlude:
Verse 2
Ascribe to fate the blame for all the darkness in your soul
You rape and pillage till the village is a gaping hole
You’re drivin hard the war machine until your belly’s full
You’ll never get your fill til the bloody end of this perdition
Chorus
Break it down
Tear this wall down from the sky
Break it down
Our love must break it down
Bridge
Where is the bravery
Gone so far away
Why live in slavery
Behind this wall of greed, of greed
Chorus:
Break it down
Tear this wall down from the sky
Break it down
Our love must break it down

Open Season
Lyrics
Verse 1
When I die and I take my place
In the space above my bed
I’ll look down on my enemy, a friend indeed
The flesh the bone the mess
I always wanted to fly
But he held me back each time
I always wanted to see
But he was afraid of me
Chorus
And I
I’m hoping to find you, hoping to find you
In the dark
Hoping to find you where you are
Verse 2
But for now I am tethered to this cruel ruse
My light is dim at best
And we taste love but there’s so much more beyond the door
The heart within my chest
I always wanted to fly
But he held me back each time
I always wanted to see
But he was afraid of me
Lyrics
VERSE 1
You’ve got me twisted inside-out
You’ve got me questioning my doubt
You’re something crazy, something new
Now I’ve got so much more to lose
It’s all that I can take before you break me
CHORUS
I don’t know what you were thinking
Running ‘round inside my head
I’ve got to find another reason why you would be with me tonight
I don’t know what you were doing
When you decided to stay, when you decided to play,
When you decided to be with me
You’re something new
VERSE 2
You’ve got your reasons why you hide
You’ve got your mysteries inside
I’ve got to understand your love
‘Cause I’m not interesting enough
BRIDGE
My darkest fear, I’ve got to say
Is that you’ll leave me here alone, that you’ll let me find my own way
I’ve got to trust that you’ll be there for me
That you will never leave
That you’ll be my baby
That you will stay with me
Lyrics
V1
Cause love it flies like the fireflies
In the summer skies ‘round open fires
You seem to be so in love with me
Yet you fail to see where it flows from me
I never could convince my baby so in love herself
To love herself too
V2
Cause everyone stands around to see
Just a glimpse of me and you
Our beating hearts afire
With true desire to be set on fire with love
I never could convince my baby so in love herself
To love herself too
Pre-chorus
Cause I don’t have words
To tell you to stand by
The ones you have spoken away
Chorus
Cause you always run
You always run back to yesterday
You always run me off
Hope you find your way
Bridge
And I know the end of this storybook tale
And it ain’t happy ever after, after all
My mind is screamin' out, red flags are burnin' down
And I know that Time’s gonna take you away
Lyrics
Verse 1
You don’t know who I am
But from here I can see
That the light in your eyes
Needs somebody to be
All the joy in your heart
And the pain in your kiss
You don’t know who you are
But I’m starting to wish
Chorus
That we could be
Something beautiful
We could be
Something true
Verse 2
You’re the light in the room
I’m in awe of the way
That the sun hits your hair
And your eyes burst to flame
I’m in danger of loss
Even though we’ve not met
You stole the breath from the air
That I had not taken yet
Lyrics
V1
I can’t seem to find my way back
Through the mainline
This time won’t you step into view
Just a subtle hint and
I’ll come running I can’t
See you coming, where are you
CHORUS
Help me find home again
Help me come home again
Where’s home again?
I couldn’t see beyond the foreground
To the background
And that’s where you live
V2
I can’t help but feel a little
Mixed up and belittled
What’s the path I’m on?
Come be the light unto my lost feet
The candle to this dark street
My rescue thereupon
Lyrics
Verse 1
Love
Comes easy for you
So easy it’s true
But it’s not so easy
Hurt
Was written for me
This song I sing
Is not so easy
Time is not my friend
Time has never been
No it’s not so easy
Chorus
For You
I’d wait in line
I’d hold my breath until you open up your eyes
(2nd time through)
For you
I’d serve my time
So here’s the key, just throw it away and wait and see
Verse 2
Alone
Is where I’ll go
It’s where I have known
That’s it’s not so easy
Light
I’m dying to see
Please, God, let it be
Just a little bit easy
Time is not my friend
Time has never been
No it’s not that easy
Bridge
Everyone surrounding me, tryin to lie to me, to say that you’re mine
Take a look around, lift me off the ground, will it make a difference this time
Try to make my peace, make the madness cease
But it’s the same old thing
Darling for you I bleed
Wish you’d just let me be
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your empty Promises are weighing in
The serpent’s tongue has bought your ear
Deception weaves a tune like violins
Composing twisted works of fear
Chorus
And I’ll be here my friend
Despite this painful end
To innocence you spent away
(2nd time)
And if you ever feel
The urge to guard your heel
Then when it’s over fly away
Verse 2
You writhe around for seems like years on end
You just can’t seem to shake the beast
His lying eyes are fixed and focused in
Just one more hit will set you free
Bridge
Come and see me when it’s over
Cause it’s over here but you’re just hangin on
Come and see me when it’s over
Cause it’s over here but you’re just hangin on
Lyrics
Verse 1
Do you remember who we were
We used to laugh and tempt the curse
We sang our hearts out in the rain
Hoping we’d never feel the pain
La de da da da da, la de da da da da
Chorus
Do you recall that fateful day
When you took all my breath away
Do you remember place and time
When you chose water over wine
La de da da da da, La de da da da da
Verse 2
He was your father’s favorite boy
The one you never did deserve
And now you think it’s all your fault
But you could never do enough
La de da da da da, la de da da da da
Chorus
Do you recall that fateful day
When you took all my breath away
Do you remember place and time
When you chose water over wine
You chose his world instead of mine
You broke my heart and left behind…
La de da da da da, La de da da da da
Verse 3
I saw you just the other day
With all your hair up in your face
You think those lenses hide the pain
From a world you left behind that day
La de da da da da, la de da da da da
Lyrics
V1
It’s hard to believe that it’s all come to pass
I’m standing alone now amazed that it’s gone so fast
One day a lover the next day a stranger
And now it seems no memories are without you
Chorus
I’ll take the long way home
Driving around all the places you go
Where your light shines on
You shine on, shine on
V2
Our love was a moment of joy in the storm
I’m glad I could share this time keeping you warm
But now I must go, I must walk through the rain
But some say the catalyst for good is pain
Bridge
And I’ve watched these darker shadows
Cloud up my eyesight, block out my sunlight
Till I felt that there’s nothing left here to take
And I stopped keeping track of all my thoughts
Now I finally see how it’s meant to be
Lyrics
V1
Away We Go
And I should have known
When Darkness had covered the land
That you’d be the hope in my hand
V2
Here’s what I know
Life took a toll
But just in time you were there
Arms open wide, you were there
Chorus
You and I are trying to find a light
Inside a broken dream
If I could just believe
You and I are trying to make it right
All that I want and more
It’s back to the drawing board
And Away
We go
