AUGMENTED ME: Reimagined

[VERSE ONE]

Another wasted night – staring at the screen

Another wasted day – I’m blowing all my dreams

Another wasted hour – no one else to blame

Another wasted year…

My mind pulls me all over the place

Won’t amount to a thing if I keep up this pace

And I just want - to be a kid again 

Before the world - took my innocence 

[PRE-CHORUS]

This is it___

It is over___  

This is it___

It is over!!!

Would someone please stick a fork in me I’m done

42 years and I’ve wasted everyone 

[CHORUS]

But I'm always

Moving forward

Always

Learning new things

Always

Trying to

Make this work

I know that someday

It'll pay off

Some way

It'll work out

Some how

He will

Make this work

[VERSE TWO]

I’m not ok – I’m at my wits end

No sign of change – too much rejection

Too young to be taken seriously

Too old to be a kid again

[PRE-CHORUS]

This is it___

It is over___  

This is it___

It is over!!!

[BREAKDOWN]

Failures not an option

Though it may seem like

The only ending fitting for

My book tonight

Failures not option 

Failures not option 

FAILURES NOT AN OPTION 

SO I WON’T! GIVE! IN! 

[CHORUS]

But I'm always

Moving forward

Always

Learning new things

Always

Trying to

Make this work

I know that someday

It'll pay off

Some way

It'll work out

Some how

He will

Make this work

[POST CHORUS]

(I know that) one way, one day, when found I

Will prove without a doubt that

This beaten body was 

Worth a chance

You say you know me now and

That I have so much talent

So why can’t you ever 

Take a chance

(Oh) I am stuck 

(Oh) I am stuck

(Oh) I am stuck

I am stuck, on this page, of life… 

[VERSE 1]

Like static I cling – To my (to my) convictions

You’ll find this shocking – No contradictions

I believe in doctrine – That leads to a radical way of life

His word convicts me – I build my faith through strife

(Faith through strife)

[CHORUS]

Hit the lights your friends are around, 

do they know Me?

I’m asking right here, right now, 

can you show Me?

[VERSE 2]

I see you explain away – The things you don’t know

You doubted God’s word – Until you were shown

And that’s the problem – You don’t seek the truth

You assume the text is wrong – And look the fool

[CHORUS] 

Hit the lights your friends are around, 

do they know Me?

I’m asking right here, right now, 

can you show Me?

An answer for the hope that dwells inside

Or would your lies snuff out your light?

[BREAKDOWN] 

one hope, 

one grace,

one baptism

One Lord, one Spirit, 

one God, let’s hear it

One Lord, one Spirit, 

one God, let’s hear it

[CHORUS]

Hit the lights your friends are around, 

do they know Me?

I’m asking right here, right now, 

can you show Me?

Hit the lights your friends are around, 

do they know Me?

I’m asking right here, right now, 

can you show Me?

An answer for the hope that dwells inside

Or would your lies snuff out your light?

Or would your lies snuff out your light?

[VERSE ONE]

I’m walking down these streets

I’m preaching all these things

I’m telling everyone

How they should be

I have to face the facts

As strong as I am

I face my own demons

I may be worse than them

[PRE CHORUS]

I am weak willed

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it

I want this urge to go away

But I have not the strength today

Can’t fight this…

[CHORUS]

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

[VERSE TWO]

I struggle on and on

Refusing to get help

I can beat this alone

I keep telling myself

Well what I really need

Is for all of my friends

To strap me down

For an intervention

[PRE CHORUS]

I am weak willed

I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!

I want this urge to go away

But I have not the strength today

Can’t fight this…

[CHORUS]

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

[INTERLUDE - shredding guitar solo]

[BREAKDOWN]

I want this urge to go away

But I have not the strength today 

I need Your help

I need Your help

God please save me

I’m on my knees

God please save meeeeeeeee….

(from this…)

[CHORUS]

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

Sinking feeling 

I’ve got this sinking- sinking feeling…
