LYRICS:

Though the trees have failed to blossom
And the figs still yet bear fruit
The unseen is where You flourish
In the quiet is where You move

My feet upon the soil
Of which the roots grow through
I stand firm upon Your promise
Of a harvest coming soon

Through it all
I will rejoice
In the Lord God, my salvation
Through it all
I will rejoice
For the Lord God, He is sovereign
Through it all
I will rejoice
For the Lord God is my portion

Though my life is empty, barren
And my dreams are all but dead
By the risen power of Jesus
I rest assured in what You said

I will wait on the Lord
To deliver me like before
All power and might
The author of time
Within His hands, He holds it all

And even if I never
See my promises fulfilled
My hope resides with heaven
In my God, I am joyful still

Through It All

LYRICS:

Tried to catch your smile within the sunshine
But I found the raindrops in your eyes
There was a hope that started budding in the morning
But I guess the timing's not quite right

So I’m carrying on planting seeds
Waiting to see what the soil grows
Impressions left unkept will fade away

I don't know how many weeks I've wondered
Will this be the one I make you mine?
But the clouds that carry me within these daydreams
Brought about a storm within this life

So I’m carrying on planting seeds
Waiting to see what the soil grows
A love that’s left unwatered fades away

I don't wanna play these games
I just want a simple kind of love
To love someone and to be loved

So I'm carrying on planting seeds
Waiting to see what the soil grows
A heart that's left to harden crumbles away
Don't let a hardened heart stay that way

Planting Seeds

LYRICS
Are we all still in search,
Of a character that fits?
(A size, a shape, tangible)
As I was from birth
Free from all influence
(Expected, typical, normal)

Each circle that is traced:
1. The drinking and the laughter
2. Extended nights awake
3. Endless lists: "I'd rather"
4. Every hour in grace

Simply walking with no intention
No pose, stance or statement
(Alternative)
No petty cry for attention
I continue to walk on

When will you converge,
To that character that fits?
(A shape that's uniform)
Persevere to diverge
On your own terms, walk on

To climb out of the abyss
I would've had to trample on you

Don't become my support
Don't become my stepping stone

Already have I fallen again?
All I know is superficial
Why did I have to stumble upon you,
When I'm still distraught?
I choose to remain alone
Never to fall again

上げる

LYRICS:
I'm cutting you out
As you begin to grow sour
I walk away from the place
You've already deserted

I'm shutting you out
You assimilate power
I leave you behind and never look back
You've already cast me aside

Words and ways that I used to say
Songs that were enjoyed in company
Are they all to be thrown into the furnace kept inside?

When I severed those ties
Inevitably cutting that which I owned
With freedom's double edge came confinement

As I stopped listening to those songs
And the silence began to unravel me
My conscious, a piercing sound

So in fact you were the victim all along
Deserted, cast aside

You know I'll be thinking of you
In a fair light
Behind exploitation and snide
Is this outside of time?

Will you ever remember me,
Setting things right?
Forgiving betrayals and masks
This is outside of my control

Thought Of Hatred

LYRICS:
In this desert there are many sandstorms
As sand brushes coarsely across my face
Each tries to leave an impression
But none can leave any marks

Sand, forged into an hourglass
With every rotation
Comes assurance and devotion
Purely put on for display

This cycle restarts
Each statement trickles down
To the bottom of that hourglass
To be reused by your successor

I won't build myself upon this crumbling soil
Defy submerging into common ground
Why bother with the spectacle of your arrival,
If you're just gonna leave without a sound?

This desert scorched the soles of my feet
Now my skin no longer peels
Don't be deceived by the distant mirage
Or the ideals sinking quicker than quicksand

This cycle restarts
Each statement sinks down
To the bottom of that sandtrap
Followed by your successor

I won't climb upon this dune
With crests that dissolve without warning
Where do they all disappear to?
I haven't gone anywhere

This soft welcoming smile
Will it turn abrasive suddenly,
Or remain as distant as your gaze?

The simple greetings that we give
In a gust are blown away
Dispersed, disregarded
I'll brush off the debris

ABC (#PlaySchoolRemix)

LYRICS:
Did I leave just to escape my past,
And the people I wanted discarded too?
Six months in rediscovery
Would I still be able to let you go?

As you begin to miss me
I look for whom I've longed for
Hoping to find him abroad
Somewhere amongst these crowds

It's no use calling after me
I've shut my ears for the race I run
This is the pact I’ve made with Heaven
To never turn back until it's begun

And please don't say "you miss me"
You won't know this voice anymore
I will strip away this rotten skin
Revealing new shades unseen before

The houses in which we all grew up
Did they really belong to us?
My home, my refuge, I found abroad
With many tears has disappeared

I am not of this world
Nor to home I return
真國家就在我心
真好友實會再見

Please refrain from "welcome home"
To what I return, I don't know
And as I walk under this amber rain,
Won't it wash away all that I've left behind?

Can I return to those former days?
To the people I've known for years
Where there is no need to compile thought
Can I return to my former home?
The place I was familiar with
Only manifests itself in remembered dreams

What is my identity?
Where do I place my roots?
In the soil of 獅子石道,
Or on the rock of Uluru?
Is there a place for me,
Where I'll truly be understood?
Don't worry
Heart shine through

真的家我还没有

Amber Rain

LYRICS:

SECOND WINTER:
Early June we were still speaking
Before our minds began to freeze over
December came, I turned to stone
All we harvested, turns to ruins

As communication ceased
It marked the beginning of March
The ice coincided with the silence
I wouldn't have expected otherwise

I felt the body was cold
Was there any point in attempting revival?
I knew the shoulder was spent
Is there a way to turn back the clock?

It feels like a blanket of ice
Surrounding, enclosing my chest
The chill you knew infects me
And I can't breathe
I can't breathe

Where is a place I can hide,
From this ghastly piercing wind?
Have your ears frozen over?
Does no one make a sound anymore?

Our ties, they melt and shatter
Within my careless grasp
So I will remain in the dusk
Within shadows that do not pass
To hear the rain erode the rust
With hope spring forgives

Each time the needle tries to stitch the wound
I risk tearing the scar even further
With each thread I create a new pain
I'd rather just let it be so

又一名:
Feigning loneliness
That I might be my own
Reigning tyranny
I dictate alone
My destiny

Redeeming loneliness
You won't find company
Questioning tyranny
I've learnt to stand alone
There's no fulfillment

Rewinding thoughtlessness
This name, better (to) not know
Within this silence
I choose to place my throne
Just run away
