Strip It All Away - Jesus Image, Steffany Gretzinger & John Wilds

You've stripped me down, the layers fall like rain It's over now, just innocence and instinct still remain You watched me while I slowly disappeared I reached for you to save me, you were frozen in your fear Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Circling the pain inside my soul I reached inside your silence to steal what you won't show I tried to find the answers in my fears But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away I'm breaking I can't do this on my own Can you hear me screaming out? Am I all alone? You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away

Need I say I love you? Need I say I care? Need I say that emotions, Are something we don't share? I don't want to be sitting here, Trying to deceive you Cuz you know I know baby That I don't wanna go We can not live together We can not live apart And that's the situation We've known it from the start Every time that I look at you, I can see the future Cuz you know I know baby That I don't wanna go Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say, To make you change your mind? I watch the world go round & round And see mine turnin' upside down Throwing it all away Now who will light up your darkness? And who will hold your hand? Who will find you the answers, When you don't understand? Why should I have to be the one, Who has to convince you? Cuz you know I know baby, That I don't wanna go Then some day you'll be sorry Some day when you're free Memories will remind you, That our love was meant to be But late at night when you call my name, The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling, Calling out to me Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away And there's nothing that I can say Hey... We're throwing it all away Just a throwing it all away Just a throwing it all away

Without a sound ever heard Without a lesson I've learned You're foolish And diluted Too many lies have you burned Where there's eyes to be found This seems life's underground But even if you had it all You would find I could never let you stay 'Cause you blow it all away Blow it all away Blow it all away If you go I will stall Yes I see it Yes I feel it You have no questions at all But if life is truly devoured I'll strip your bare 'til truth comes out But even if you had it all You would find You blow it all You blow it all away Blow it all away Blow it all away (Blow it all) Forever is your mind to be naive Remember It will bring us to our knees You blow it all away 'Cause even if you had it all You would find You blow it all You blow it all away Blow it all away Blow it all away (Blow it all)

You're here, trembling with fear You made it clear You turned your back and now you've gone astray Nothing left to say What's standing in your way? You had the chance to never walk alone But you gave it all away When I needed you to stay Just open up your arms I need you here I can't do this on my own I've got nothing left to show Open up your arms I need you here! Again, lying in your bed Nightmares is in your head Facing all that you just threw away At the edge again It's coming to an end You had the chance to never walk alone But you gave it all away When I needed you to stay Just open up your arms I need you here I can't do this on my own I've got nothing left to show Open up your arms I need you I need you, here! Here! I need you, here! Here! You gave it all away When I needed you to stay Just open up your arms I need you here I can't do this on my own I've got nothing left to show Open up your arms I need you here Just open up your arms I need you here I can't do this on my own I've got nothing left to show Open up your arms I need you here!

What I feel is real What I do is the truth When I drink I can't think When I use I need more When you're weak I can't speak Close your eyes and taste this wine The cork removed less purified I throw away everything that you say Erase everything that you think What I feel it's a sin Tell the truth do not lie Make a wish won't come true One way streets one track mind Open up and see the light One-million ways to hipnotize I throw away everything that you say Erase everything that you think Erase everything that you think Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away (you throw it all away) Piss it, piss it all away (you throw it all away) Piss it, piss it all away (you throw it all away) Why'd you run away Why'd you go run away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away Piss it, piss it all away (erase everything that you say) (I throw away everything you say) (I throw away everything you say) (You throw away, throw away everything...) (You throw it all away...) (Piss it all away...)
