Been Here Before (by Homespun Reality)
Hey wait, I recognize you...I've seen you here before
And with that simple thought more is revealed of me than of you
Because I don't know your story, but I know why I keep coming back
And it's the terrors inside my head that drive me here when I have nowhere else to go
But I won't expose you because I'd hate to expose myself
And all of that's because I'll be vulnerable and this life's about saving face.
Don't worry about how you really feel inside
Because all that matters is the plastic smile plastered on your face
Here we go one more time saving face and saying that we're fine
Why can't people just accept us for not being okay?
Not every day does the sun shines brightest and forces the rain clouds away
But it's not like that matters much 'cause I'm still here saving face
I won't tell you precisely what I've done to bring me here again and it's because I'm afraid
Perhaps it's my pride covering up my sackcloth attire underneath it all
All in all, I will leave this as a cliff hanger glimpse into the real me
Because I know otherwise I'd be judged seen differently in the end
So now we'll keep this secret that we both recognize each other here
For I know sometimes the pressure is too much and the shadow's call during lonely nights
And I lack the strength to right now to turn and flee so I accept my choices
And I leave this unanswered, put on my plastic smile and continue saving face
And with that simple thought more is revealed of me than of you
Because I don't know your story, but I know why I keep coming back
And it's the terrors inside my head that drive me here when I have nowhere else to go
But I won't expose you because I'd hate to expose myself
And all of that's because I'll be vulnerable and this life's about saving face.
Don't worry about how you really feel inside

Awakening (Redeemed) Love by HomespunReality
The flashing lights, the music playing and the billboards spilling their ad campaigns
It’s just another night in a world looking for love
Everyone’s got their pitch that they’ll drop everything to lay it before you
But with all the lights and sounds around, how come no one seems to know love?
We live in a hollowed out tree of a world that was once something beautiful
Created for a unique purpose but since then, has degenerated over time
Too much influence from all the wrong sources chip away at the inside
And now the roots have dried up, the leaves are brown and it’s just about over this time
The world is lost, confused and doesn’t know which way is up
But it believes that the love it’s seen it is true, and that is good enough
So everybody sell your product, play the games and you’ll find love out there somewhere
But the love you’ll come across says everything about who you are, and whether you’re good enough
Their love is not the kind of love that I want anything to do with
Love that I have to work for time and time again, because the flesh is more honored than a word
The world will say it loves me and that what I seek is normal, just like everyone else
But what if I don’t want to go down that road? What if I want something different than what I’ve previously seen or heard?
True love cannot be found amidst the flashing lights and blazing sounds
It’s all about the calming peace one feels when their alone, but they know this is something better
Better than the lies that the world offers, give yourself away because you don’t want to lose them
And so many people fall into that trap because we’re scared of what would happen if we waited for something better? And it never happened
We so scared of feeling alone; heartbroken, cold and lying awake at night with no one to hold
Wondering if we did something wrong because we don’t fit in with the world
I paint you this picture not to depress you or play with your head, heart and soul
But to show you the reality of this world and tell you that Christ’s love will overtake this world
He’s offered His life one time to forgive us, heal us, and love us eternally and that was enough
So why do we force our brothers and sisters to prove they love us, over and over again?
If one act from Christ was enough why do we question if God loves us when we feel so alone?
I know that Christ has come to show love and to be love and that’s all He’s ever been
So when you feel alone at night, desperate for what the world has to offer think about what He did
Dwell on the facts of the pain, and torment than He withstood just for you
If Christ died because of love one time and proved it for all of us
Why do you still think that He doesn’t love you?
