I'm just wanting to tell a story
To write the words on my heart
Portray the whole not just the parts
I suppose that this is a start
I've become impatient with the virtue
And sometimes I want to vent
But by the time that it's released I fear it won't be relevant

There's so much
There's so much

Want to release a full list
But I don't have the time
What a brilliant lie applied to every situation under the sky
We obsess that we're too busy to read
So we put the book on the shelf and let the radio preach
There's so much

I want to make a difference
But I've been feeling distant
Though distance is the trend now
It still feels wrong
I may get too defensive
This life can be oppressive
Feels like it's never Christmas while the winter's long

I've got a studio now
And I'm working on my voice
But the will to sing out presents a difficult choice
It's not the fear of pompous critics or of being ignored
Or how this song's not really a bop it's just my thoughts that I've poured
Onto a page where what I've seen and my convictions have churned
The problem lying here is what has got me feeling concerned
It's an opinion like we see in every crevice of the system
What's the point of sharing proven hope if no one's gonna listen?

But I can't think that way
If you could save someone with words
Would you keep it contained?

I want to make a difference
But I've been feeling distant
Though distance is the trend now
It still feels wrong
I may get too defensive
This life can be oppressive
Feels like it's never Christmas while the winter's long

They try defiling the narrative
Filling the page with confusions
They think they know what's right for everyone and live with delusions
Which manifest themselves in everything we see on our screens
Targeting the "opposition" because we know what it means
They're pairing love with negligence
And claim to now know God
As if a perfect definition is implicitly more broad
We determine terminology to our own detriment
Our cognitive conclusions take on verbal excrement
Which we've compared to deity; proceed to call it excellent
'The fool rejects discernment'
You can ponder if that's sentiment

There are so many chapters
There's so much in my head
But I've learned to deal with the frustrations that kept me up in my bed
Figured out what the longing was you'll hear that soon, I think
If priorities and melodies would mutually link
There's too much I want to tell you
Like how the culture has lied
Of the time Josiah didn't come back one day and nobody cried
I want to scream against the slaughter of the helpless unborn
Or change your mind about the God that we've consistently scorned

There is more to this story
About the man Jesus Christ
The embodiment of God; the Way, the Truth, and the Life
I know the weight of that expression has been utterly lost
In Sunday school it wasn't clear and we have suffered the cost
As I empty the pen
There's still so much to tell
From that analogy of life that I pretend will excel
I'm no more than far from perfect
But I leave you with this:
Friend, the path gets ever thinner
Don't be caught in the mist
