Calling Out to You

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

 You said you'd never let me go
 Now I'm here, feeling so alone
 I shoulda never run away
 now I'm living in my mistakes

 One touch can take away this pain
 but your love seems so far away
 what am I supposed to do
 I wish I could get close to you

 oh Can you hear my cry

 I'm calling out to you
 in the middle of the night
 I don't know what to do, I'm torn up inside
 so I'm calling out to you
 with everything in me
 I'm fighting to get through, with the strength to believe
 with nothing left to lose
 so I'm calling out to you

 I said, I'd never let you down
 Now I need to feel you here right now
 I wish I would’ve never lied
 I’m sorry for saying goodbye

 I feel that I can hardly breathe
 cause I’m not who I thought I would be
 My heart is broken up inside
 I just need a place to run and hide

 Oh Can you hear my cry

 I'm calling out to you
 in the middle of the night
 I don't know what to do, I'm torn up inside
 so I'm calling out to you
 with everything in me
 I'm fighting to get through, with the strength to believe
 with nothing left to lose
 so I'm calling out to you

 With tears running down my face
 I never wanna leave this place
 Cause I know you're always there for me
 you're all I need
 And every time I run away
 I know that your love remains
 and I know you're always there for me

 I'm calling out to you
 in the middle of the night
 I don't know what to do
 I'm torn up inside

 Cause I'm calling out to you
 in the middle of the night
 I don't know what to do
 I'm torn up inside

 Cause I'm calling out to you
 in the middle of the night
 I don't know what to do
 I'm torn up inside

 I've got nothing left to lose
 so I'm calling out to you
 with nothing left to lose
 so I'm calling out to you

Who We Are

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I stand in the room
looking cool and calm
But my heart's a tomb
Where I bury what's wrong

If I put on a show
and a happy face
I'm sure they'll never know
my pain and disgrace

But why are we pretending
that we're going so far
with this phony masquerading
it seems so bizarre
in my skeletons and secrets
in my battle wounds and scars
So why are we still pretending
who we are

He slithers in
Brother hypocrite
now he takes his place again
where the self righteous sit

Now he's flaunting all his wealth
Drenched in power and pride
And he thinks no one else
Sees the dark inside

So why are we pretending
That we're going so far
in this phony masquerading
it seems so bizarre
in my skeletons and secrets
in my battle wounds and scars
so why are we still pretending
who we are

So why do we wear what we wish we could be
but we're so afraid of all the light of honesty
But if the truth is what truly sets you free
then why don't we decide to shine for all eternity

So why are we pretending
that we're going so far
in this phony masquerading
it seems so bizarre
In my skeletons and secrets
in my battle wounds and scars
So why are we still pretending
who we are

Run to Me

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Lead singer of Ignescent, Jennifer Benson, went through several trials in her life when her husband left her and and went through a very painful child custody battle over her daughter.   This song is meant as an encouragement and reminder to everyone that no matter what you are going through you can run to God and He will take you in with open arms.

She was just six months
when he said he was gone
After nine years
and now I'm all alone

Why did the vows we shared
not even matter to you
My heart was torn apart
after all that we'd been through

But then you came
into my life
Just when I lost it all you said

When you've lost your way
You can always run to me
Don't you wanna give up all your strife
and go ahead and leave it all behind
When you feel all alone
you can turn and run to me
I will never leave or walk away
I want you to always know you can run to me

It's been so long
from that time and I've moved on 
But now he wants to take
my little girl I can't be strong

He cheated and he lied
Why do I have to pay the price
for all the mess that he made
My heart is broken inside

But then you came 
into my life
Just when I lost it all you said

When you've lost your way
you can always run to me
Don't you wanna give up all your strife
and go ahead and leave it all behind
When you feel all alone
You can turn and run to me
I will never leave or walk away
I want you to always know you can run to me

And when you feel like you want to give up
and you're so tired of the many tears you've cried
You can't even get through the day
and it seems like you've had enough
But you don't have to fear anymore
and be alone tonight

When you've lost your way
you can always run to me
Don't you wanna give up all your stife
and go ahead and leave it all behind
When you feel all alone
You can always run to me
I will never leave or walk away
I want you to always know
you can run to me

Cause I'm lost in you
