WRENCH IN THE WORKS LYRICS

1. Dust Over Time Test

Running from every wicked little town is gonna run you down
To blame is to wear your heart on your sleeve What a wicked way our hearts deceive
Trying not to be the lost take
Of your everyday existence
The further that we dig, the shallower we become
The harder that we judge, the harder it is to budge
The splinters in the whites of our own eyes
Help me to find a place where love is not some half illusion
Dreams do not come to those who choose to see nightmares
Sometimes you get so used to screaming without making a sound
Believing the illusions of grandeur as friendly as they may seem
What a pretty world, what a pretty world of make believe
The wicked way our hearts deceive
Our hearts deceive
The further that we dig, the shallower we become
The harder that we judge, the harder it is to budge
The splinters in the whites of our own eyes
Pride's insistence, failure's persistence

2. Tonight Is War

Why do you climb the walls at night? Because you've fallen from the light. You've fallen from the light. And every minute of every hour. Plotting our attack. Our attack. Your hate will be replaced by fear. Fear of failure, fear of death. Fear of shadows, fear for your last breath. Why do you climb the walls at night? Because you've fallen from the light. You've fallen from the light. And every minute of every hour. Plotting our attack. Our attack. And so this means war. Tonight, tonight is war. Tonight is war.

3. Our Time

This time we've got to make things right
This time we've got to stand and fight for our time
Our time
We've built our homes, amongst the scattered shadows
We drink alone, although the cup has been offered
Our fears are met by our expectations
And I refuse to feed my fears tomorrow
We can't wait one more day
Our final hour has been selected
And every second somehow connected
This time we've got to make things right
This time we've got to stand and fight for our time
Our time
Build a fire inside your heart
Build a fire inside your heart this time

4. Brokenness

This time I won't hold on so tight
I will die first, I surrender
So that I may truly live
When you take me down I will rise
When you take me down I will rise
Disillusioned with the gentle path
Away from brightness and out into your nothingness, this nothingness
String me up and beat me down
When you take me down I will rise
When you take me down I will rise
Brokenness

5. One Foot Out of Hell

A statue and a shell the angels wish us well
But praises don't come from sandy throats
With one foot in, and one foot out of hell
Another empty day, another wasted night
We've gotta hope for something more this time
Another empty day, another wasted night
We've gotta hope for something more this time
I'm not ready to die
I'm not ready to die
More love, more power
More of you in my life
More of you
Less of me
Another empty day, another wasted night
We've gotta hope for something more this time
Another empty day, another wasted night
We've gotta hope for something more this time
I'm not ready to die
I'm not ready to die
With one foot out of hell
A gift unnoticed

6. Pale Fire

Call me out of the darkness and into the light
I am not of my own
I've become spiritually cold
Your grace wipes away my tears
With your strength I can vanquish all my fears
Some crowns of sorrow sit on a little world for a little hour
Take me
Drain me
Purify
Make me clean
Your crown will shine forever
And your grace abides forever
Our souls will shine forever
We can all live forever

7. Death Letter

An alarm waking me
The leaves dying off the trees
I medicate with whiskey to drown the fear of being me
Three A.M. I'm on a bridge
Gravity pulling my will to live
A saddened moon softly lights the scene. And reflects a ghost from the water to me
I don't want to live my life today
I'd rather burn out than just fade away
I don't want to live my life today
I'd rather burn out than just fade away
So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide
And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide
So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide
And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide
Death letter
An alarm waking me
The leaves dying off the trees
I medicate with whiskey to drown the fear of being me
Three A.M. I'm on a bridge
Gravity pulling my will to live
A saddened moon softly lights the scene
And reflects a ghost from the water to me
I don't want to live my life today
I'd rather burn out than just fade away
I don't want to live my life today
I'd rather burn out than just fade away
So as we live our lives, this song will be our suicide
And as we fight through life, this song will be our suicide
I can bleed through every note, with every word blood from my throat
In the end all is still, a fallen man who's lost his will
But this is just a song, as for life we must drive on
Music is a gift, it will lift the burdened soul
Life is a gift, a gift which we must fight to hold
Hold on, hold on

8. Loaded Gun

Such a lifeless way of existence
Oh what a lifeless way of existence
Toiling to serve what is sold
Striving for an image the media has sold
Such a lifeless way of existence
Oh what a lifeless way of existence
We buy because we are told
Deny the true selves that we hold
But I wanna be stolen
Waiting for the thief in the night
Light is the only answer
My only truth in darkness night
Sunbeam fresh water
Thirst meets its maker
Blessed be
For the taker
This debt has been paid
For the taker
This debt has been paid
For your debt has been paid
Let it be proclaimed wherever there is sound
But I wanna be stolen
Waiting for the thief in the night
Light is the only answer
My only truth in darkness night
Sunbeam fresh water
Thirst meets its maker
Blessed be. For the taker
This debt has been paid
For the taker
This debt has been paid
For your debt has been paid
Let it be proclaimed wherever there is sound
To follow you is a loaded gun to my head
To follow you is a loaded gun
My love/my lord

9. Faith as a Virus

A word of fire stands burning in your heart
As truth fans the flames
What's your heart's desire,
Will it always be the same
Or fall to the winds of change
Our foundations crumble
And are rebuilt again
But there is one that will remain
Faith is the dirtiest F word
That the world has ever heard
Faith is a virus that feeds on the ego
That feeds on me
Hope is the cure for my selfish design
'Cause faith is the dirtiest F word
That the world has ever heard
Faith is a virus that feeds on the ego
That feeds on me
Hope is the cure for my selfish design
A word of fire stands burning in your heart
As truth fans the flames
What's your heart's desire,
Will it always be the same
Or fall to the winds of change
Our foundations crumble
And are rebuilt again
But there is one that will remain
He calmed the waters
Rebuked the storms
That's got to stand
Stand for something more
That's why we stand for something more

10. Lost Art of Heaping Coal

We may never find true love
Because we're always leaving,
We're chasing something
And we may never be secure
Because we've left our jobs,
We've closed so many doors
When blood is needed nothing else will do
Where serpents strangle love-sick bones
Spirit allow us too
Spit fire
Heap coals
Revival is the time of fire
Spark a fire in the world
Bless a child tonight
Shine light in the darkest cities' life
Set ablaze the eyes on the blind man
Heap coals, shine bright
The angels weep tonight
We may never find true love
Because we're always leaving,
We're chasing something
But we would trade all this and more
For what the locusts devour we know you can restore
