Vanishing Point
Verse 1
Dust in the distance
lines drawn tight
Road fading
into the light
Shadows stretch
they don’t remain
Something in me
is slipping away
Chorus 1
I keep walking
no end in sight
Every mile
the past grows light
Horizon rising
just out of reach
Vanishing point
where two lines meet
Verse 2
Boots worn thin
the soul feels new
Steps keep falling
straight on through
Sky leans down
a holy glow
Lose myself
in the way I go
Chorus 2
I keep walking
no end in sight
Every mile
the past grows light
Horizon rising
just out of reach
Vanishing point
where two lines meet
Bridge
Not a finish
not a wall
Just a line
to make me small
What disappears
was never mine
What remains
the forward line
Outro
I keep walking
the daylight thin
Steps keep echoing
where I’ve been
Horizon calling
deeper heat
Vanishing point
where two lines meet
Ash and Ember
Verse 1
I once walked fields where the fences stood,
Every gate was iron, every post was wood.
I thought the lines would hold the ground,
But the earth kept turning the lines around.
Chorus
Now the wind carries ash, the fire carries ember,
What slips through the cracks is all I remember.
Once it was steel, now it bends with the rain
Ash and ember, that’s what remains.
Verse 2
I once sang hymns in a single key,
Certain chords that belonged to me.
But the notes grew wild, the scales untrue,
And the song sang louder than I ever knew.
Chorus
Now the wind carries ash, the fire carries ember,
What slips through the cracks is all I remember.
Once it was steel, now it bends with the rain
Ash and ember, that’s what remains.
Bridge
Maybe the cracks shine truer than gold,
Maybe the stories are never told whole.
Maybe the fading is where we belong,
An unfinished verse in an endless song.
Final Chorus
Now the wind carries ash, the fire carries ember,
I lose and I learn, I forget and remember.
Once it was steel, now it bends with the rain
Ash and ember, that’s what remains.
Outro
Ash and ember, that’s what remains.
Locked In A Vise
Verse 1
Iron teeth
grind and chew
Velvet venom
seeping through
Golden shine
rots to rust
Every touch corrodes the trust
Chorus
By the throat
locked in a vise
No escape
no fire on ice
Breath is barbed
the grip precise
By the throat
locked in a vise
Verse 2
Silk disguise
sharpened blade
Sweetest song
devil ever made
Step in closer
pay the toll
Bleeds out pieces of the soul
Chorus
By the throat
locked in a vise
No escape
no fire on ice
Breath is barbed
the grip precise
By the throat
locked in a vise
Verse 3
Pressure breaks
a hidden scream
Cracks appear
along the seam
Hands reach in
the weight divides
Breath returns and the jaws subside
Final Chorus
By the throat
locked in a vise
Steel bends
fire refines
Breath restored
the grip denied
Choke undone
open wide
Falling Higher
Verse 1
Broken glass
truth in my face
Hidden scars
mercy’s trace
A whisper cut
sharper than stone
It burned my soul
but made me whole
Chorus
Feels like fire
leansing desire
Feels like chains
breaking the liar
Feels like ruin
turning to choir
Feels like falling
pulling me higher
Verse 2
Shadows fled
light came down
Silent ground
shook with sound
Every crack
a mercy sign
Every wound
a holy line
Chorus
Feels like fire
cleansing desire
Feels like chains
breaking the liar
Feels like ruin
turning to choir
Feels like falling
pulling me higher
Verse 3
The ache
doorway to light
The weight
proof of the fight
The flame
carving my name
The pain
never the same
Chorus
Feels like fire
cleansing desire
Feels like chains
breaking the liar
Feels like ruin
turning to choir
Feels like falling
pulling me higher
Outro
Falling
higher
Falling
higher
Glass Wings
Verse 1
A mirror cracked, the sky fell through,
Time unspooled in threads of blue.
Failure hummed in a language unnamed,
Ash became starlight, loss became flame.
Chorus
Glass wings in the fog, breaking, remade,
Echoes of endings the silence replayed.
No fairy tale kingdom, no pages to keep,
Only shadows that taught the horizon to weep.
Verse 2
Steps dissolved on a staircase of air,
Voices of echoes were suddenly there.
What slips from the grasp finds a place in the stream,
Unraveling sorrow to stitch a new dream.
Chorus
Glass wings in the fog, breaking, remade,
Echoes of endings the silence replayed.
No fairy tale kingdom, no pages to keep,
Only shadows that taught the horizon to weep.
Bridge
The crown was an hourglass, spilling away,
The throne was a ripple, the dusk turned to day.
Every fracture a star in disguise,
Every falling a birth of the skies.
Final Chorus
Glass wings in the fog, breaking, remade,
Echoes of endings the silence replayed.
No fairy tale kingdom, no pages to keep,
Only shadows that taught the horizon to weep.
Outro
The story breathes.
The Illusion
Verse 1
I carved my path with trembling hands
Lit my steps with my own plans
I stacked my fears like sacred stones
Built a temple I could call my own
But no flame fell to light that shrine
No peace poured in, no Voice, no sign
Just echoes in an empty room
Where I crowned myself and met my tomb
Chorus
What if the truth was never mine to hold?
What if the shape was never mine to mold?
What if the kingdom don’t come by might
But through hands raised open, not hands held tight?
Tomorrow don’t bow when I command
But maybe today will let me stand
Verse 2
I yoked myself with cedar pride
It splintered deep into my side
I called it strength to forge alone
But I was naming fear in a deeper tone
I envied fig trees free of shame
While I wore masks that bore no name
Dressed my doubt in borrowed robes
And fed control like it could atone
Chorus
What if the plan was never mine to write?
What if the cross ain’t earned by fight?
What if the garden still grows wild
And faith walks slow like a stumbling child?
Tomorrow don’t bow when I command
But maybe today will let me stand
Verse 3
I laid my why at mercy’s gate
No answer came, just silent weight
No thunder cracked, no heaven roared
Just a whisper: “Child, you were never yours.”
So I loosed the grip, let judgment be
Let mystery do its work in me
The lilies bloom, I’ll wear what’s plain
The sparrow flies I’ll bless the same
Chorus
Tomorrow don’t bow when I command
But grace held fast my open hand
And today…
Today let me stand
Find That Flow
Verse 1
Riiidin’ high
with the sunlight burnin’,
Siiinkin’ low
when the shadows turn in.
Jooooy and pain
they walk the same road,
Both of them heavy, both of them gold.
Pre-Chorus
The hurt comes easy, it never hides,
Joy’s a treasure you’ve gotta find.
It flickers fast, yet if you know
There’s a deeper well, it starts to floooow.
Chorus
Riiidin’ high
siiinkin’ low,
That’s the rhythm
of the soul.
Tightrope walkin’, don’t let go
You gotta find that floooow.
Find that floooow.
Verse 2 –
Morning breaks
the night still lingers,
Dreams slip away
through reaching fingers.
The gift is sweet, the weight is real,
Jooooy you search for
pain you feel.
Pre-Chorus
The hurt comes easy, it never hides,
Joy’s a treasure you’ve gotta find.
It flickers fast, yet if you know
There’s a deeper well, it starts to floooow.
Chorus
Riiidin’ high
siiinkin’ low,
That’s the rhythm
of the soul.
Tightrope walkin’, don’t let go
You gotta find that floooow.
Find that floooow.
Bridge
Sorrow’s loud and quick to stay,
Jooooy’s a light that fights its way.
It won’t be stolen, it won’t be gone,
It’s the quiet strength that carries on.
Final Chorus
Riiidin’ high
siiinkin’ low,
That’s the rhythm
of the soul.
Tightrope walkin’, don’t let go
You gotta find that floooow.
Find that floooow.
Outro
Through the breaking
through the glow,
You gotta find that flow.
You gotta find that flow.
You gotta find that flow.
Water Falls
Verse 1
Stone breaks, the river finds its way
Crashing down, turning earth to spray
Every drop rewrites the land it claims
Nothing standing here will stay the same
Chorus
Water falls, it carries me
Water falls, it sets me free
Water falls, it’s all I need
Flowing down, restoring me
Verse 2
Clouds open, silver threads unwind
Falling slow, leaving life behind
Roots drink deep, and the earth revives
Every drop a promise kept alive
Chorus
Water falls, it carries me
Water falls, it sets me free
Water falls, it’s all I need
Flowing down, restoring me
Verse 3
Eyes overflow when the heart lets go
Salted streams every soul must know
Falling soft till the burden clears
Every drop a hymn of hidden years
Chorus
Water falls, it carries me
Water falls, it sets me free
Water falls, it’s all I need
Flowing down, restoring me
Bridge
From the mountain, from the sky, from within
It all returns, it all begins
What we carry, what we release
Water flowing, bringing peace
Final Chorus
Water falls, it carries me
Water falls, it sets me free
Water falls, it’s all I need
Flowing down, restoring me
Let It Be
Verse 1
We walk this life with a heavy load
But hope keeps rising along the road
Tried to hold what would not stay
Now I’m singing a brighter way
Chorus
When what you hold… slips away
Letting go will light your way
Release your fight [Release your fight!]
Set your heart free [Set your heart free!]
Lay it down, lay it down, let it— be [Let it be!]
Verse 2
Hands once closed now open wide
Grace and mercy pouring inside
What was bound is now set free
Love is stronger, it carries me
Chorus
When what you hold… slips away
Letting go will light your way
Release your fight [Release your fight!]
Set your heart free [Set your heart free!]
Lay it down, lay it down, let it— be [Let it be!]
Bridge
Not defeat, but release
Every ending brings new peace
Chorus
When what you hold… slips away
Letting go will light your way
Release your fight [Release your fight!]
Set your heart free [Set your heart free!]
Lay it down, lay it down, let it— be [Let it be!]
When what you hold… slips away
Letting go will light your way
Release your fight [Release your fight!]
Set your heart free [Set your heart free!]
Lay it down, lay it down, let it be [Let it be!]
Lay it down, lay it down, let it be
Revelation Evermore
Verse 1
Crawlin’ through the shadows, just tryin’ to stand,
Learnin’ how to steady with a tremblin’ hand.
Step by step I wandered, further than I knew,
Every falter, every stumble pullin’ me toward truth.
Chorus
Evolution in silence, Revolution in roar,
Revelation whisper, I can’t hide no more.
Chains breakin’, soul awaken, nothin’ like before
Evolution, Revolution,
Revelation, Evermore
Verse 2
Heard the rattle of shackles fallin’ to the ground,
A roar inside my spirit shook the silence down.
No more holdin’ back now, no more playin’ small,
The chains that used to bind me can’t hold me at all.
Chorus
Evolution in silence, Revolution in roar,
Revelation whisper, I can’t hide no more.
Chains breakin’, soul awaken, nothin’ like before
Evolution, Revolution,
Revelation Evermore
Verse 3
Then the veil was lifted, light cut through the dark,
Truth was in the whisper burnin’ in my heart.
What I thought was hidden was waitin’ all along,
The voice that broke the silence is the reason for this song.
Chorus
Evolution in silence, Revolution in roar,
Revelation whisper, I can’t hide no more.
Chains breakin’, soul awaken, nothin’ like before
Evolution, Revolution,
Revelation Evermore
Outro
Chains gone, soul soarin’,
Revelation Evermore.
Chains breakin’, soul awaken, nothin’ like before
Evolution, Revolution,
Revelation Evermore
Evolution, Revolution,
Revelation Evermore
