"Unwanted"

The Purpose-driven Life

–Russel Kelfer

You are who you are

You’re part of an intricate plan

You’re a precious and perfect unique design

Called God’s special woman or man

You look like you for a reason

Our God made no mistake

He knit you together within the womb

You’re just what he wanted to make

The parents you had were the once He chose

And no matter how you might feel

That we’re custom-designed

With God’s plan in mind

And they bear the Master’s seal

Not that trauma u faced was easy

And God wept that it hurt you so

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into His likeness you’d grow

You are who you are for a reason

You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod

You are who you are, beloved

Because there is a God

Somewhere I Belong

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I’d get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find/That I’m
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck/Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I’ve held so long
[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]
It’s gone]
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere/Only to fin that it’s
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
‘Cause I can’t justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain/Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything ’til I break away from me
And I will break away
I’ll find myself today

I want to heal
I want to feel like I’m
Somewhere I belong

Notes: Originally, this started out as a sample of Chester playing acoustic guitar. Mike took the sample, replayed it, effected it, flipped it backwards, and cut it up into four pieces. Creating the main sample of the song. By the time it was finished, almost a year later, the band had rewritten most of the music around the sample. On another note, Mike and Chester wrote over 30 finished choruses for this song, each time scrapping the last one in search of something better. They eneded up recording the final version one week after the rest of the album was finished, in the studio where they were mixing.

Lying From You

When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always
Wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just ’cause
I know I can/But
I can’t pretend this is the way
It will stay/I’m just
Trying to bend the truth
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be
So I’m

Lying my way from you

[No/No turning back now]
I wanna be pushed aside
So let me go
[No/No turning back now]
Let me take back my life
I’d rather be all alone
[No turning back now]
Anywhere on my own
‘Cause I can see
[No/No turning back now]
The very worst part of you
Is me

I remember what they taugt to me
Remember condescending talk
Of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that
And this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person
Really is me and I’m
[Trying to bend the truth]
But the more I push
The more I’m pulling away
‘Cause I’m

Lying my way from you

This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from you
Like this

The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
