Skillet - Collide

Forsaken

I recall going madly in love with You
And I remember this, how could I forget
Regret is a needle in my neck
It's slowly filling me with poison
Spreading to my chest

Take my pain and numb me from this
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken

I recall pledging my sole devotion to You
It reminds me how now I'm on my knees
My guilt consumes, lost the will in me
Wasting away before You
Hold me closer please

Take my pain and numb me from this
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Forsake
You break me
Forsake
You break me
Your breaking me!

I recall going madly in love with You
And I remember this
Tell me

Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken
Why do I have to beg when all that's left is a memory forsaken

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Forsaken
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Tell me why
Why
Why
Why

Collide

We have fallen
We have fallen again tonight
Where do we go from here
When they're tearing down our lives?
When all they want is,
When all they want is for us to live in fear,
How long can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Hold On!

Chorus:
There's something deep inside
that keeps my faith alive,
When all you can do is hide
from the fear that's deep inside of you
Something, something, something,
Something, something, something to hold me close
when I don't know
There's something deep inside that keeps my faith alive

We are healing,
But it's killing us inside
Can we take a chance
when faith and fear collide?
We can make it,
Step out and take it,
We can't live feeling so numb
How long can we hold on?
Can we hold on, hold on?
Hold On!

Chorus







A Little More

Love is all around you now so take a hold
Hidden in our words it sometimes ain't enough
Don't suffocate day after day, it's building up
'Cause when you're feeling weak you know I'm strong enough

Just one more day
One more day

Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Love can take a little, love can give a little more

Love is indestructible so take a hold
Sometimes hard to find a reason good enough
I'll stand beside you never leave, through it all
And faith will bring a way to the impossible

Just one more day
One more day

Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Love can take a little, love can give a little more

You can find me
You can find me
You can find me anywhere
Take a look over you shoulder
I'll be standing there
Standing there

Love is all around you now so take a hold
And faith will bring a way to the impossible

Just one more day (You can find me)
One more day(You can find me)
One more day(You can find me anywhere)
One more day(You can find me)
One more day(You can find me)
One more day(You can find me anywhere)

Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Love can take a little, love can give a little more

A little more
Take a little more
Take a little more
Woah take a little more






My Obsession

Your touch, Your ways
Leave me dumb without reason
Your love, my cage
My prison so pleasing
I spend my days
Tangled in thoughts of You
Stuck in this place
Resigned to be Your fool

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

You're my only infatuation
Don't leave me stranded in my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Come down to me
Don't ever say that it's over
I kiss Your feet
Worship the air You breathe
Your love, my gift
You go and I will follow
My dream, my wish
Don't leave me here so helpless

Am I a lunatic
I'm going crazy
For just a word from
For just a touch from You

and i'm exploding like chemicals
i'm going crazy, can't get enough





Fingernails

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
Under my fingernails

I'm empty, lonely and accused
Accused without a word
My fingernails, are chipping down, from clawing in the dirt
I'm so lost, lost and confused
I threw it all away
How can I, be beautiful, when I am so afraid!

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach, under my fingernails

I watch it all slip through my hands
My brokenness revealed
I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm crying to be filled
I'm killing, distroying the pain, that's killing me away
I've got to live, I've got to love, like I am unafraid

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach, under my fingernails

I'm wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting, tasting every moment with you
I'm suffering, I'm bleeding, on my knees
Who's gonna save me
Suffering, bleeding
Save me from this pit of frailty

Never reaching what I want to reach!
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering, under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach, under my fingernails

Never reaching me!






Imperfection

Your worth so much
It'll never be enough to see what you have to give
How beautiful you are
Yet seem so far from everything you're wanting to be

Tears falling down again
Tears falling down

You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can I be someone else for all the times I hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
You're drowning in your imperfection

You mean so much
That heaven would touch the face of humankind for you
How special you are
Revel in your day
You're fearfully and wonderfully made

Tears falling down again
Come let the healing begin

You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can I be someone else for all the times I hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
You're drowning in your imperfection

You're worth so much
So easily crushed
Wanna be like everyone else
No one escapes
Every breathe we take dealing with our own skeletons






Under My Skin

When I feel You close to me
It's easy to believe
To the depths and back again
To find that I'm still needing

Feel the fear dissipate
When You are everything You are
Feel my soul come awake
You carry me away

Chorus:
When I hurt, when I bleed
You're holding me
Feel You scratching at the surface
Under my skin

Oh the sweet serenity
I'm beautifully addicted
You are more than I can take
I crave You undiluted

You calm the ache, I come awake
When You are everything You are
Feel the fear dissipate
You carry me away

(Chorus)

Could I be lost, could I dissapear
Could I be lost, would You find me here
Could I be lost in a secret place
Could I rest in the shadow of Your face

Oh the sweet serenity, beautifully a part of me







Energy

Power is another word that I use to describe You
Your mighty winds come in and blow me away
Frightening, coming at me like lightning
It's You that I fear, yeah yeah
I shake whenever You speak my name

And I'm surrounded
You overpower me

You're a silent rage
You're a hurricane
You are everything I can not see and can't explain
You're an enigma wrapped in a mystery
Everywhere I go, I can't escape Your energy

Divine is a reality that You define
You defy time
I see You in everything in fire and wind and rain
Captured is just the word to capture how I feel when I still
You are what I crave
You set me free I want to be Your slave

I can't escape Your energy








Cycle Down

Crashing
Covered with debris
Dwelling in my own pity
Cry like I have not
Dig like I had not
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I am, I am, I am on a higher ground
You are, You are my cure from the cycle down

Sinking
In a sea of self
Deception
Never sold so well
Regret like I have not
Pain like I don't want
I start to claw
Gotta get outta here
I've got to, gotta get out

I'm so cold and I wonder
How'd I make it this long without You
Pull me out, out from under
On the cycle back to You
