Mysterion Mixtapes: It's What You Leave Behind

Don't Fence Me In

Verse 1

I’ve seen the weight of time try to hold me down,

But I broke those chains. I’m freedom-bound.

There’s a fire inside that won’t give way,

A stubborn hope that says “not today.”

I’ve heard doubt whisper, “stay where you’ve been,”

But my heart keeps pushing for something again.

There’s a sky out there and I’m running in.

I’m still alive. Don’t fence me in.

Chorus

Don’t fence me in. I was made for more.

I’ll break every silence they once ignored.

Don’t fence me in. I won’t say when.

Long as I’m breathing. I’ll rise again.

Don’t fence me in. No fear within.

Don’t fence me in. Don’t fence me in.

Verse 2

Yeah, I’ve carried secrets I had to release.

I’ve fought for truth just to find some peace.

I’ve run from love but it found me fast.

I let go of shame I was never meant to grasp.

I’ve been afraid but I broke that chain.

Grace like a sunrise called my name.

The road calls out like a long-lost friend.

My heart says go. Don’t fence me in.

Chorus

Don’t fence me in. I was made for more.

I’ll break every silence they once ignored.

Don’t fence me in. I won’t say when.

Long as I’m breathing, I’ll rise again.

Don’t fence me in. No fear within.

Don’t fence me in. Don’t fence me in.

Bridge

Every mile, every scar.

Led me right here where the strong hearts are.

Every step, every fall.

I learned to rise. I learned to call.

For something bigger. Something true.

And now I know what I must do.

Break the gate. Let life begin.

Nothing to lose. Don’t fence me in.

Final chorus

Don’t fence me in. I’m not done yet.

I’ve got a thousand dreams I haven’t met.

Don’t fence me in. I won’t lay low.

I was made to run. I was made to grow.

Don’t fence me in. Don’t fence me in.

My soul’s still burning. Don’t fence me in.

Outro

The wind is calling. I’m diving in.

Wide open heart. Don’t fence me in.

He's Breakin' Thru

Verse 1

He walks like lightning nowhere left to go,

Burns his bridges just to watch them glow.

Every scar’s a story he’ll tell you twice,

Every laugh hides a roll of the dice.

Chorus

He ain’t tryin’ to break the world in two,

A heart on fire, black and blue,

Turned inside out, his heart in view,

He’s not fallin’ apart, he’s breakin’ through.

Verse 2

Built his walls from smoke and sound,

Swears he’ll never back down.

If you look too close, you just might see

The boy he buried underneath.

Chorus

He ain’t tryin’ to break the world in two,

A heart on fire, black and blue,

Turned inside out, his heart in view,

He’s not fallin’ apart, he’s breakin’ through.

Bridge

He laughs so hard the hurt can’t stay,

Turns his pain into sound and flame.

He ain’t lookin’ for a crown or cue,

Just one soul that sees him true.

Final Chorus

He ain’t tryin’ to break the world in two,

A heart on fire, black and blue,

Turned inside out, his heart in view,

He’s not fallin’ apart, he’s breakin’ through.

He’s breakin’ through.

Only He Can Do

Verse 1

There’s a man lookin’ to be found

He learned early stand your ground,

But ground gives way. It decides to leave.

Ground don’t care what you believe,

Chorus

No man makes it on his own,

No matter how far his road has gone.

When the map runs out and the night comes through,

There’s a higher way…

There’s work only He can do.

Verse 2

Man on his knees, heart in pain,

His hands wide open, pleads in vain.

He lets it go, the silence stays,

He knows sky don’t answer right away.

Chorus

No man makes it on his own,

No matter how far his road has gone.

When the map runs out and the night comes through,

There’s a higher way…

There’s work only He can do.

Bridge

The load gets light when it’s not just yours,

The narrow way still leads to more.

You lose your life, you find it true,

When strength won’t do, love pulls you through

Verse 3

Now that man walks steady, slow,

Knows what he is, knows what he don’t know.

What once felt like givin’ in

Feels like grace beneath the skin.

Chorus

No man makes it on his own,

No matter how far his road has gone.

When the map runs out and the night comes through,

There’s a higher way

There’s work only He can do.

Outro

Only He can do.

This Earthly Fight

Verse 1

The road is dim and shadows fall,

Lord, I can’t trust my strength at all.

You said if I just asked,

You’ll give me wisdom that will last.

Chorus

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight

To walk with faith and not by sight

Help me speak less - listen more and be still

Touch my heart to match Your will

Verse 2

Not every voice that calls is right,

Some lead astray, some hide the light.

You said test, and hold what’s good, and

Stand in truth like our Man stood.

Chorus

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight

To walk with faith and not by sight

Help me speak less, listen more and be still

Touch my heart to match Your will

Bridge

Renew my mind, remake my ways,

Shape me in Your perfect grace.

Not of this world, but set apart,

Your Spirit voice will guard my heart.

Chorus

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight

To walk with faith and not by sight

Help me speak less, listen more and be still

Touch my heart to match Your will

Good Lord help me in this earthly fight

To walk with faith and not by sight

Help me speak less, listen more and be still

Touch my heart to match Your will

Deep In Me

Verse 1

By the river where the wild grass sways

I found a calm at the end of my days

Not in the thunder, not in the fight

But a steady flame that broke the night

Chorus

It’s a fire that won’t let go

Rolling strong but burning slow

Lifts me higher, sets me free

There’s a truth found deep in me

Verse 2

On the backroads where the shadows lie

I’ve stumbled low, but I still rise

Not by fortune, not by pride

But a quiet strength I can’t deny

Chorus

It’s a fire that won’t let go

Rolling strong but burning slow

Lifts me higher, sets me free

There’s a truth found deep in me

Bridge

No chain can hold, no storm can stay

That guiding hand won’t walk away

It pulls me close, it makes me whole

A steady anchor for my soul

Final Chorus

It’s a fire that won’t let go

Rolling strong but burning slow

Lifts me higher, sets me free

There’s a truth found deep in me

Yeah, there’s a truth found deep in me

There’s a truth found deep in me

Side By Side

Verse 1

I wake with flaws and greet the morning light

Own every stumble, set what I can right

You don’t need to measure where my footprints go

Good Lord sees my heart, that’s all you need to know

Chorus

You live your life, I’ll live mine

Side by side and that’s just fine

If our roads don’t meet, we still align

In the quiet love of the grand design

Verse 2

Don’t need applause, Don’t need a crown

Just steady feet on the higher ground

We may share the view but not the lane

Grace lets the distance keep us sane

Chorus

You live your life, I’ll live mine

Side by side and that’s just fine

If our roads don’t meet, we still align

In the quiet love of the grand design

Bridge

Peace is more than face to face

It’s hearts at rest in sacred space

He forgave me, letting the Spirit steer

No map from you can guide me here

Final Chorus

You live your life, I’ll live mine

Side by side and that’s just fine

The Lord lights each soul’s line

And that’s just fine…that’s just fine

In the quiet love of the grand design

Empty Hands

Verse 1

What you ‘fraid of losing, tell me now

Nothin’ in this world yours anyhow?

We came in naked, we leave the same

Stop building monuments to yo’ name

Everything you clutching turn to dust

Yo’ grip is just lies you learned to trust

A sage knows better than to make believe

That anything will stay if you just don’t leave

Let it go, let it fall

Never yours

Never at all

Chorus

Empty hands, empty hands

You can't lose. Don’t command

You Stand tall. Don’t demand.

Empty hands, empty hands

You think yo’ fear can hold back tide

Universe don’t care none ‘bout your pride

Attachment the chain ‘round your neck

You slave to the future you protect

The emperor knew what we forget

That ownership just our best regret

So hold it light or don’t hold at all

‘Cause we standing even when it all falls

Pre-Chorus

Let it go, let it fall

Never yours

Never ever at all

Chorus

Empty hands, empty hands

You can't lose. Don’t command

You Stand tall. Don’t demand.

Empty hands, empty hands

What’s the worst you can do?

Strip away what you thought was true?

No sweat, we been naked all along

Don’t forget you are strong

Go ahead and take your shot

Even lose everything all you got

You’ll Still be here when you’re done

‘Cause you not the things that you won

Final Chorus

Empty hands! Empty hands!

Can’t touch what you become!

Empty hands! Empty hands!

You already done!

Empty hands! Empty hands!

Can’t touch what you become!

Empty hands! Empty hands!

You already done!

Elvis Has Left The Building

Verse 1

Used to wear a smile and a heavy cape

Been lookin’ for a way to make a clean escape

From the neon lights and the hollow cheers

Stayed on stage for way, way too many years

Pre-Chorus

The sequins ain’t sparkly, the outfits run down

Time to make room for the new King in town

Tradin’ the glitter for a little more soul

And finally learning to lose control

Chorus

Knock on the door, ain’t nobody home

That man you remember is already gone

Those times were wild and thrilling

But the curtain is down and

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

Verse 2

Viewed a road that ain’t on the map

Stopped trying to fall in that same ol’ trap

A whole different man in the morning light

Don’t need the stars to feel all right

Bridge

The stadium’s empty, the echoes are faint

Moving on from the sinner, heading toward the saint

Just travelin’ along with pen in hand

Finding the way through the promised land

Pre-Chorus

The sequins ain’t sparkly, the outfits run down

Time to make room for the new king in town

Tradin’ the glitter for a little more soul

And finally learning to lose control

Chorus

Knock on the door, ain’t nobody home

That man you remember is already gone

Those times were wild and thrilling

But the curtain is down and

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

Outro

Those times were wild and thrilling

But the curtain is down and ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

It's What You Leave Behind

Verse 1

We come in screamin’ with a borrowed name

Got hand-me-down dreams, hand-me-down shame

Born with wounds that run through all our veins

You got to see it new and break those chains

Pre-Chorus

Ain’t the money, ain’t the shine

Ain’t the glory thought yours to find

It’s the light you leave for someone blind

Yeah, that’s what you leave behind

Chorus

Ain’t the numbers, ain’t the fame

Ain’t who remembers your last name

Not what you held, but what you healed

Not what you hid, but what you revealed

It’s the love you planted in His grand design

All that matters is what you leave behind

Verse 2

Some walk heavy with a quiet curse

Passing on pain, making it worse

Some keep love tucked inside their chest

Hiding the best parts they’ve never expressed

But hands that reach can break the curse

And leave behind a guiding verse

Pre-Chorus

Ain’t the money, ain’t the shine

Ain’t the glory thought yours to find

It’s the light you leave for someone blind

Yeah, that’s what you leave behind

Chorus

Ain’t the numbers, ain’t the fame

Ain’t who remembers your last name

Not what you held, but what you healed

Not what you hid, but what you revealed

It’s the love you planted in His grand design

All that matters is what you leave behind

Bridge

Leave a light that others can see

A little courage, a little mercy

You’re shaping futures He designed

All invisible, all intertwined

Final Chorus

Ain’t the numbers, ain’t the fame

Ain’t who remembers your last name

Not what you held, but what you healed

Not what you hid, but what you revealed

It’s the love you planted in His grand design

All that matters is what you leave behind

Outro

What you leave behind

All that matters is what you leave behind
