Merdians

This is the man I was made to be
You can't silence me
These bridges, that are so easily broken, are rebuilding themselves
Will you meet me in the middle
So I can find myself
Chorus:
Now, you've drawn this imaginary line
Cutting me off from you
(So what am I supposed to do)
So what am I supposed to do
I would give up everything to reach the heart inside of you.
(To reach the heart inside of you)
I can honestly say, it was never meant end.
Drawing these black lines
Plotting your jaded meridians
Was it everything you wanted
Was it everything you thought it'd be
I am the one broken
Who will piece me together
Chorus:
Now, you've drawn this imaginary line
Cutting me off from you
(So what am I supposed to do)
So what am I supposed to do
I would give up everything to reach the heart inside of you.
(To reach the heart inside of you)

Another frigid morning to awake to
Arising from my slumber to find a piece missing to a puzzle
Government conspiracy, religious fantasies
Is there any fact in everything in which we believe.
Covered up for far too long was a canvas who's paint was not yet done
It was a painting that was brought before my eyes
I searched and it was the purest thing that I've found
In this frayed world of bent color
Clues left in distinct places
A finger print among this very ground that we walk on
And there were so many who tried
To cover up this knowledge that was right before us
Before our very eyes
God is the painter, of this picture we call life
So many shades, so many tints, so many colors we have yet to see
We have yet to see
Look in the mirror and you will see his masterpiece
The painter is the picture that he creates
How long will take for you to see
The interpreter is the picture that he destroys
It has been confirmed
The more you look
The more that you discern
And we all know for those who can't see
It's our direction to reveal
Take your place, stand your ground
Or will your lies, still resound
What are we living for
When we've been thrown upon this earth
Shattered we come, but we will prevail
To find Aletheia
Could you bring some color to this world
Could you bring some color to these eyes

This isn't quite the mess I've made
Walked right into this catastrophe
Watched this house of cards
Crumble on me, Crumble on me
It's slowly decaying
This wretched filth that I created
Never played my cards right
Just another bust
Lay my hand in
Cash it out
I'm the only one losing, because I deceived myself
Chorus:
Check my vital signs to see if I'm still breathing
I've been passed down handed around
And I am broken now
So I always looked to the brighter side of the sun
I can finally say it's look me in the eyes blinding me
Trying to keep my fragile heart on track
It's slowly fraying, leaving me lifeless
I'm looking to you, Change this mess I'm in
This is real life
This is my life
I've worked these calloused hands to the bone
Not much blood from whence it came
But I did this out of love
This is what real men are made of
This is what real men are made of
(This is what real men are made of)
This is what real men are made of
I am what real men are made of
Chorus:
Check my vital signs to see if I'm still breathing
I've been passed down handed around
And I am broken now

I can see this dark cloud approaching
Vision is blurring, voices are failing
I reach for your hand and find it there
Pull through this black to see the light
We will stick together through thick and then
And we will stick together til the very end
There were so many things that I've been through
and at times you were the only one there for me
I've cried out to the heights
I've cried out to the depths
And still my voice can barely be heard
It's like a sinking ship
And I'm the only left
Chorus:
You will see me through (This is all I have to give)
You arms are open, my heart is broken
My defenses are all down (To receive this beautiful gift)
I'm growing weary from them
And I'm breaking down
I feel like such a failure
I'm growing weary from them
And I'm breaking down
They use me and throw me out
If pain is just weakness leaving the body
Then I must be the strongest man alive
So God show me the strength I have in you
Show me that I can make it through
I can make it
I am strengthened
(solo)
Chorus:
You will see me through (This is all I have to give)
You arms are open, my heart is broken
My defenses are all down (To receive this beautiful gift)
Is all this worth fighting for
(I will lay my heart out, will we be united as one)
I cross my heart and hope that you would keep these truths
(I offer all I have, will we share the same blood)
We were always meant to keep our word
Will we be united as one
Will we share the same blood

For Better or Worse

I am dying to come to life
This reflection will never be the same
Maybe you'll wonder who I will become
I will become the man God wanted me to be
Become the man, You want me to be
It's the man, I will be
Chorus:
Tonight, the stars will shine so bright
And all of my scars will be brought to life
I can never give up this fight
That has become my life
I'll soldier on through everything
There is nothing that can keep a hold on me
I've been given hope that I can make it through
I know that all my dreams will come true
These struggles are what have made me
Nothing can stop me now
Come at me with all you have
Nothing will bring me down
These struggles are what have made me
Nothing can stop me now
So who will you (turn to when you have nothing)
If I'm not alone, then you're not alone
So who will you (turn to when you have nothing)
I'm not alone
For better or worse this is who I am
Though I've been broken
I will live to see tomorrow
I've walked through the darkness you've bestowed upon me
Chorus:
Tonight, the stars will shine so bright
And all of my scars will be brought to life
I can never give up this fight
That has become my life
I'm alive
For the first time
