Caught me on my knees, my guard let down
Humbled, tired, and weak and helpless before you
Too confused to resist this latest attempt
To weaken my resolutions
When I'm all alone you hit me where I least expect it
Pushed to the edge, I won't fall for that same old trick
This time, this time
Approaching the same as always, so predictable
Sidestepping all your snares has never been easier
Don't count on willingness
Where I am weakest, He strengthens
When I'm all alone you hit me where I least expect it
Pushed to the edge, I won't fall for that same old trick
This time, this time
Driving the nail in deep
Tacking my favorite sin to a cross
Letting go can be such bliss
So freedom feels like this
When I'm all alone you hit me where I least expect it
Pushed to the edge, I won't fall for that same old trick
This time, this time - Track Name: Don't Leave Me, Sunshine

Don't leave me sunshine and run off with the clouds today
Cause I can't make it without your light
Ever since the sunrise, my world is filled with clarity
I've been seeing what life is really like, oh yeah
Soaking up your warming rays
Blue sky above me
Only dreams have better days
Stay with me sunshine
Burn bright, forever mine
Don't hide all day, come out and play
So don't leave me sunshine and let the dreadful dark invade
Cause I can't go on without my star
And when the sun sets the moon begins it's serenade
But your sweet song it can't replace, oh no
Soaking up your warming rays
Blue sky above me
Only dreams have better days
Stay with me sunshine
Burn bright, forever mine
Don't hide all day, come out and play
Stay with me sunshine
Burn bright, forever mine
Don't hide all day, come out and play - Track Name: 11:11

They say broken clocks are right twice a day
But this clock ain't broken, it's ok
The time is right for just one thing
And I know you want this as much as me
You see, I can't sleep without one last thing
Help me get through the night
Come a little closer, yeah, come on over
We get one chance to do this right
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
So you don't seem to see the significance
There's a mystical magic in this minute
You see, lips locked tight at this time of night
Can make a love, make a love last forever, last forever so I say
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
I'll make any old excuse to get a kiss from you
So I guess the time will do
Because baby, baby, baby
You're the one, the one, the one, the one, so I say
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
Ooo, kiss me baby, it's 11:11
It's a magic time of night (kiss me baby), it's 11:11
Let's make this last a lifetime (kiss me baby) it's 11:11 - Track Name: Fantasy World

Back here in my bedroom
I am sitting, waiting for my princess to come
And if she doesn't, I'll just sit here
Wishing, waiting, wondering what to expect from you
What is it you want me to do
Why do you look at me that way
Is there something I'm not seeing
King of my own castle
I'm the one who calls the shots
I make the rules that you abide by
It's so unnerving how this crumbles when I know that
I'm the only one who lives inside this fantasy world
Which shatters at your call
But all in all, I guess it's not that bad
Brittle, frail, and lonely
I can see how much this means to one like you
When all my sense dull to pain, dull to life, dull to the game
Where I am king and you're my servant
And the backyard is my land
And I rule with an iron fist,
I make you hate me, just like they do
Pushing on, pressing in, I try to run when I know that
I'm the only one who lives inside this fantasy world
Which shatters at your call
But all in all, I guess it's not that bad
Sometimes, I wish I could tear the walls down
That keep you out and hold me in
But in my alabaster castle
I am crying, wishing, wanting, tearing at my skin
So I can show you who I really am
I'm the only one who lives inside this fantasy world
Which shatters at your call
But all in all, I guess it's not that bad
And I'm the only one who lives inside this fantasy world
Which shatters at your call
But all in all, I guess it's not that bad
Desperate, hurting, scratching
You hold onto a piece of me that you're torn
From where I'm hurting, where I'm bleeding
Hoping you will let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, please let me go - Track Name: So Easily

I was born in a house with a setting sun
The Blue showed up, but they never won
Moonbeams came and lit the night
When the Blues came back, I began my fight
I saw the flame and her seductive tease
But I blew her out with effortless ease
The smoke did dance and choke its prey
But chilling winds swept the ash away
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
So easily
I felt the chills run up my spine
Death had come to share his wine
I dared not drink, I knew it well
The gruesome end to his poisonous spell
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
So easily
Come someday when all life ends
Tongues confess, knees will bends
All will bow by a crystal sea
Those will stay will then be free
I will then be broken
I will then be broken
I will then be broken
So easily
