Lanae Hale!!!

I was looking up some devotions online, and I found a really good article about a new artist named Lanae Hale who struggled with cutting and self-worth...

I looked up some of her lyrics and I found some that I really like (read them all, they're really good):

"Love Is Worth The Fight"
Oxygen deprivation my face is turning blue
Choking on tasteless sentiments and isolated views
Yeah city lights they're blurring past
Another nameless state-line at your back
Another day is another year
You're having fun but still wanna hear

Everybody needs love sweet love
Open arms to hold when the times get tough
A special soul to share in the joy of life
Yeah, love is worth the fight

La dah dah dah dah dah dah dah

Radio burning holes in every speaker door
Yeah the louder played it numbs away
Whatever you keep running for
It may take some time to recognize
There's no home in the car you drive
And baby that's no way to live
You're getting old and you can feel it

"Beautiful Things"
Work my fingers to the bones
Learn to live to forget and let go
Sometimes the faces of the past come back
It gets easy to ignore
When hope has been restored

So now I, I can sing in the rain
I can love without pain
I can live everyday
With these beautiful, beautiful things
Finally feel my heart beating
Let my lungs breathe deeply
All my tears turned to dreams
Of beautiful, beautiful things

Temptation holds the key
To what you think you want or need
Well it takes a stronger man to stand
And learn from the past
But never let go

Regretful heartbreaks
Well it shatters the soul
But after tearful mistakes
A mournful heart may grow
And then let go

"Here's My Heart"
Hear the notes they're ringing
Through the air I'm breathing
I think I've heard this song before
In my head, in my head
Feel the room it's swaying
Slowly dancing with me
I fall asleep to the words
In my head, in my head

Sweet redemption find me
Hold me, keep me, blind me
With the truth of your love
In my head, in my head
Lead me to the still steams
Where my heart breaks then bleeds
Then let peace heal the wounds
In my head

Here's my heart, here's my heart
Search every part
And know me well and change me deeply
Here's my heart, it's dying to start
Clear all the dark broken pieces and
Make me whole again

Feel the sun it's rising
Gently, warmly finding
My soul whispering the words
In my head, in my head
Slowly stir from dreaming
My heart joins in this singing
Loud and deep calling out
In my head

One step, then another
Shatter all I am to bring me closer to you

"Start Over"
Shoulders shrugged and heads help high it's a cold cold world
But you sure fit in fine
Seems to me conviction has died
Well it's easy to do
Shoulders shrugged and head down,
It's a cold cold world,
But you sure fit in fine
Seems to me conviction
Well it is easy to do
When love is pushed aside
But life holds no guarantees
So make sure you're who you want to be

Let the rain take it's toll
Let it downpour on my soul
When passions gone
Start over
Let the wind blow and break
Down all of my mistakes
When love is lost
Start over...
Start over

Lately life and chaos
Go hand and hand
Well it's hard to ignore security
And future plans
So you try to fit in or find your way
Ya gain the whole world
But sadly lose your faith
Life holds no guarantees
So make sure you're who you want to be

"Start Over"
It seems so long ago but the memories never die
Sometimes they burn holes inside
Of the back of my mind
Uncovering the faces of those
Loved and lost on the way
And sadly only strangers
Now remain, in their place

So would you stay
Could you please stay with me
Stay would you please
Stay with me

Sometimes a warm heart may stay for awhile
Hoping it's forever like an innocent child
But every story has an ending
And that's the way that it goes
But your adventure is still waiting
Even if ya have to go alone

"Back and Forth"
Well, it's easier to take
When it's easy not to break
But set the enemy on fire
And feel the flames grow higher and higher and higher

If I could, than I would run across the sea
So you'd speak to me
Back and forth, the waves keep crashing
Hold on, my head, I keep on sinking
I need your hand to steady me
To bring your peace to this storm
'Cause back and forth
Yeah, oh, oh

Well, it's easy not to care,
When apathy poisons the air
Well, on the surface it seems calm
But underneath war rages on and on and on

You are rain falling hard on my shoulders,
I lift my head, and don't let go
Feel the tide growing high as I get older,
I lift my head and don't let go
Feel the waves rolling over and over,
I lift my head and i don't let go'
'Cause you're my light when the dark gets colder,
So take my hand and don't let go
Don't let go-oh

"Quiet Place"
Silent war is declared vision fails
When the soul's impaired
Noises numb the mind and
Love grows cold with time
If nothing fills the empty hole
That every human heart knows

I will wait for you
Till fire burns, earthquakes, and waves are few
Cause silence, is where you like to stay
So here I am, I'm waiting for you
In this quiet place

Running hard to ignore
The lonely places you've been before
But you feel time is slipping
And there's still so much you're missing
And to heal means tears must show
But you're not weak to just let go

I believe
I'm in need
So dear sweet Savior
Come rescue me
From this quiet place
