Ache Masking The Gain

Entangled in glorious ambition
But cornered in their eyes
Hopes attract unstable smiles
Confinement satisfied

Drained souls restrain my movement
Lord you know I'm feeling trapped
Scrambling towards an open door
That shuts just within my grasp

Oh pathetic Christian
Renounced by sleepless pain
Deserving each judgmental smile
The ache masking the gain

Everybodys speaking
Opinions shoving me to choice
Blinded by overbearing chaos
....waiting....
...waiting for your voice.

Deaf to All Defeat

There is nothing like the presence of the Lord
Oh, consuming fire that burns away the pain
Raindrops fall so hard on this world
But your love burns through the rain

I wait all day for moments like these
When the silence is so sweet
And we can rest in perfect love
Deaf to all defeat

Where slavery is beautiful
And wounds and bruises too
There's freedom in captivity
Because I'm bound to you

There's no concept of escape
No existence of a key
And even the harshest punishment is death
Beautiful death leads you to me

Where even darkness brings me joy
It means you're coming soon
It means your light is on its way
It means I'll grow in you

So bring out every chain you have
And throw them over me
So we can rest in perfect love
Deaf to all defeat.
