New Way to Be Human
Everyday it's the same thing; another trend has begun
Hey kids, this might be the one
It's a race to be noticed and it's leaving us numb
Hey kids, we can't be the ones

With all of our fashion we're still incomplete
The God of redemption could break our routine

There's a new way to be human
It's nothing we've ever been
There's a new way to be human
New way to be human

And where is our inspiration when all the heroes are gone?
Hey kids, could we be the ones?

'Cause nobody's famous and nobody's fine
We all need forgiveness; we're longing inside

There's a new way to be human
It's nothing we've ever been
There's a new way to be human
It's spreading under my skin
There's a new way to be human
Where divinity blends
With a new way to be human
New way to be human

You're throwing your love across my impossible space
You have created me
Take me out of me into a new way to be human
To a new way to be human

You're a new way to be human
Where my humanity bends
To a new way to be human
Redemption begins

You're a new way to be human
You're a new way to be human
You're the only way to be human
You're a new way to be human
Incomplete
He's washing his face to start his day
He's lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Nothing in the mirror ever shows him what's within
Now he's checking out the faces on the back of the milk
He's sour under all this pressure
He thinks the missing person looks an awful lot like him

And he starts his engine
But he knows he's missing gears

Incomplete
Where will you find yourself?
Incomplete
Where will you find yourself?
'Cause you're the missing person now
Step outside your doubts and let yourself be found

He's sick of the race to just save face
He's tired and tried, he's sick and tired
He's tired of the holes that are keeping him incomplete
He'll push the pedal to the floor like the day before
He's trying to be always trying
Try to find an end to justify his means

So he starts his engine
But he knows he's missing gears

Incomplete
Where will you find yourself?
Incomplete
Where will you find yourself?
'Cause you're the missing person now
Step outside the doubts and let yourself be found

So he starts his engine
But he knows that he's missing gears

Incomplete
Where will you find yourself?
Incomplete
Where will you lose yourself?
'Cause you're the missing person now
Step outside your doubts and let yourself be found
And let yourself be found and let yourself be found
Sooner or Later (Soren's Song)
Come back and haunt me, follow me home
Give me a motive, swallow me whole
They say I've lost it
What could I know when I'm but a mockery?
I'm so alone

Sooner or later
You'll find out there's a hole in the wall
Sooner or later
You'll find out there's a hole in the wall

Today is ours, condemned to be free
Free to keep breathing, free to believe
I look to find You, down on my knees
Oh, God, I believe, please help me believe

Sooner or later
They'll find out there's a hole in the wall
Sooner or later
You'll find out that you'll dream to be that small

I'm a believer, help me believe
I'm a believer, help me believe

I gave it all away and I lost who I am
I threw it all away with everything to gain
And I'm taking the leap with dreams of shrinking
Dreams of shrinking, dreams of shrinking
Dreams of shrinking

Come back and haunt me, follow me home
Give me a motive, swallow me whole

Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Company Car
Mike, was right,
When he said I'd put up a fight to be someone,
A fight to be me but see now,
I'm down,
Under the pavement of capital hills,
And lowercase people
As time rolls by my dreams have become,
That which is attainable
Not what I'm looking for

I've got the company car,
I'm the one swinging at 2 below par,
Yeah I've become one with the ones that I never believed in,
I've got the company car...

Hey, I'm the king,
Of things,
I've always despised
I'm the gingerbread man that's been eaten alive
I'm half-baked,
I'm fake,
You see I've got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk and 200 bucks
I pass go, but oh, life's taken it's toll
Have I won Monopoly, to forfeit my song but see

I've got the company car,
I'm the one swinging at 2 below par,
Yeah I've become one with the ones that I never believed in,
I've got the company car...

Yah all the kings horses have their hooves on the walls,
Their taking pictures of the man who's lost all of his
Masks of pretension,
He's got 2 faces left,
His is the one that he hides,
On the left, behind that smile..

Hiding tears,
And fear,
That burns like an engine,
That drives him away from the ones that he loves
Mike was right, hey Mike, we're one and the same,
we're the faceless combatants in the loneliest game..
Oh but say,
I'll wave as I'm driving by,
With that smirk in my eye
Yelling hey, I'm something man, check me out

I've got the company car,
I'm the one swinging at 2 below par,
Yeah I've become one with the ones that I never believed in,
I've got the company car...
Let That Be Enough
Wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone
And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With no where to land
And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sandcastles
Spend their time collapsing

Let me know that you hear me
Let me know your touch
Let me know that you love me
Let that be enough

It's my birthday tomorrow
No one here could know
I was born this Thursday
Twenty-two years ago
And I feel stuck watching history repeating
Oh am I just a kid who knows he's needy?

Let me know that you hear me
Let me know your touch
Let me know that you love me
Let that be enough

Let me know that you hear me
Let me know your touch
Let me know that you love me
Let that be enough
Something More (Augustine's Confession)
Augustine just woke up with a broken heart
All this time, he's never been awake before
At thirty-one, his whole world is a question mark
All this time, he's never been awake before

Watching dreams that he once had feed the flame inside his head
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says

'There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You
There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You

Augustine, all his fears keep falling out
All this time, he's never been awake before
Finding out his old dreams aren't panning out
All this time, he's never been awake before

But he's mad to be alive and he's dying to be met
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness he says

There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You
There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You

Hey, I give it all away
Nothing I was holding back remains
Hey, I give it all away
Looking for the grace of God today

There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You
There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You
There's gotta be something more than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You
Only Hope
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray-
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray-
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs
I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray-
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Amy's Song
Amy's gone
And time rolls on
How far? How fast? How long?

The last time we saw Amy
She was headed for the shore
Fighting off the volatile gray skies

She said now begins forever
And that no one knows there time
We bid farewell not knowing
That might be our last good-bye

Amy was a fighter
She cut like Casius Clay
She burned like a fire
Despite these rains

Where time was a question
She only knew one song:
She's singing, "how far, how fast, how long?"

Salvation is a fire
In the midnight of the soul
It lights up like a can of Gasoline

Yeah, she's a freedom fighter
She's a stand up kind of girl
She's out to start a fire
In a bar code plastic world

When everything stops moving
And i stop to catch my breath
And ride my train of thought
All the way around

My thoughts return to Amy
And the fire she's begun
She came when we were freezing
And left us burning up
I Turn Everything Over
Monday found me on my knees again breathing You in
To draw the lines that mark where I begin and where You end
No use in trying to pretend
Come take me again
'Cause rumor has it I'm not who I've been
Come define me

What can we do if the rumors are true?

I turn everything over, turn myself in
I turn everything over, turn myself in
There's nothing left of me to defend
I turn everything over, turn myself in

The evidence convicts the hollow man
After looking inside
To my dismay I find I'm just one of them
'Cause I'm an already but not yet resurrected fallen man
Come break this limbo
'Cause I know You know just who I've been
Come define me

What can we do if the rumors are true?

I turn everything over, turn myself in
I turn everything over, turn myself in
There's nothing left for me to defend
I turn everything over, turn myself in

Rumor has it You love me
Rumor has it the world spins upside down
Rumor has it my only hope is You
And the rumors are true
I turn everything over

And what can we do if the rumors are true?

I turn everything over, turn myself in
I turn everything over, turn myself in
There's nothing left for me to defend
I turn everything over
Under the Floor
Under the floor between me and the door
There's a presence I cannot deny
It's under the car between me and the stars
I see glory filling up the sky

And I'm certain that He hears me
He listens even as I sing my song
I'm emphatic that He's near me
And I can see His touch in everything here

Deep is the soul, is the space I control
Is the one thing I can call as mine
Deeper the cold when He's far from my soul
I surrender all of me inside

And I'm certain that He hears me
He listens even as I sing my song
I'm emphatic that He's near me
I can see His touch in everything here
In everything here

And I'm certain that He hears me
He listens even as I sing my song
I'm emphatic that He's near me
And I can see His touch in everything here
In everything here
In everything here
