Merdians 03:49
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

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
