Lyrics Doorways and Tombstones - Jonathan Allen Wright

I have seen, a pattern in the ways of all my trying
A godless motivation keeps on failing
No matter what, it feels so empty.
The strangest thing, in this valley we already know about this
And In the end our motivation becomes pointless
So you'll see it's wasted again

And all that time alone,

Of vying for the throne it all has left me cold yeah

And I need to know that it's all said and done

So hear me out, oh hear me out
I've never seen a thing I've done alone ever amount to much now

Like an art, without a muse it seems so empty and perplexing
No teacher, what's the point of even learning?
I see my failures in the light of Him
So why would you, ever attempt to wander off all on your own now?
A guide is getting you out of the woods now
So that ego is wasting away

And all that time trying I kept lying to myself I needed hope and
I needed him to come and pick me up

So hear me out, hear me out
Ive never seen a thing I've done alone ever amount to much now
So hear me out, hear me out
It's time to put that lying heart to rest for its final bow

I've never been so clear about the failing
Perseverance of my own desolate heart
Every time we think we've handled all of our iniquities,
We wind up back at the start
Oh and I was sick of trying all these motivated travesties,
But He's seen me through it all
So when will we all learn that, it's nothing we can earn,
But instead it's giving up all.
So hear me out, HEAR ME OUT

So hear me out, hear me out
Ive never seen a thing I've done alone ever amount to much now
So hear me out, hear me out
It's time to put that lying heart to rest for its final bow
So hear me out
