I Am A Boy 04:53
I am a boy just like any other I have a dad and mother I love rock and roll I am a boy sometimes my clothes don't fit right sometimes I can't sleep at night sometimes I just don't know Just don't talk about it try to forget about it when you feel yourself get colder When you feel the change and everything feels strange pull yourself up like a soldier I am a boy I am a boy don't let the armor fool you I put it on for school, yeah it serves me well I am a boy I still dream and wonder but I conceal it under a conforming shell Just don't talk about it learn to live without it when you dream of arms to hold you I still feel the same Why did you all change? Why did everyone get colder? I am a boy
2.
Truest 04:42
Searching for the truest thing Searching for the truest thing can make a boy run right to the flame If I leave it all behind If I leave it all behind If I leave it all behind would I still find protection? Omophorion Searching for the truest thing Searching for the truest thing can make a faithful man go insane

God weighs in at the end of the night and i've been waiting on this since the first bell of our last fight God weighs in when the curses have been pronounced God weighs in unannounced But if the lion breaks in If the lion gets through He's gonna write in the sand and do what he do and then oh He's gonna let some people go God weighs in when I know that I'm right but I should shut down shut up for the night God weighs in when I should just walk away God weighs in Anyway But if the lion breaks in if the lion gets through He's gonna show us his hands and do what he do and then oh, what more could we know?
4.
Tyrants 03:54
I don't want my children dying in some war but tyrants being tyrants they push us til we can't take no more and barricades they go up in our hearts before on the street God offers justice but we demand a king the righteous write on ashes while the wicked flood the waves with promises of heaven while we dig another grave but they can't take the homeland if we don't have a home so wake up your neighbors and sell all you own
5.
Dissonance 04:14
Baby I will hold you through all this dissonance and baby, we will find peace in these troubled times We grieve this we grieve this violence cause it happens all the time we cry Jesus come and save us Spirit make the change Love is the answer Love is the answer I know its been said too many times before but its not time to close the door on love
6.
The Last War 03:53
The last war you will ever have to fight is for the heart its for your heart against the words and darts of those who tear you down your shield is love Lift your head from your hands feel your heart beating inside you're still alive you are the image of the one who formed you in his hands and gave you breath Be who you are you can make some mistakes you've got what it takes you've got your friends to help you out when you're in need we can work together
