5:23, lyrics:
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross
My guilt upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

1) Little Boxes (Malvina Reynolds cover)
3:33, lyrics:
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

1) Senses Frozen Shut
2:50, lyrics:
This temptation never leaves me, more and more I feel the dark closing in. My sin is a wintery abyss, I can’t see you anymore. You call out to me but my ears are frozen shut. Every time it comes back, I let it consume me. Please, please show me this way out, the way back to life.
2) You Won't Relent (Jesus Culture cover)
5:06, lyrics:
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
I set you as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love
That is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
I set you as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love
That is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this loveYou won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until you and I are one
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until you and I are one
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
I set you as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love
That is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
3) A Lost Cause
4:12, lyrics:
This is a lost cause, so fallen, we can’t even see our cliff. No one is willing to gouge out an eye for purity, where can we go when we’re digging still deeper into this hole? This creation, your hands crafted such magnificent life, yet these lives claim to have created themselves. How lost are we, when we can’t even say your name? I can’t stop crying, we can’t stop dying. How lost, how lost are we? We need you.

4) In Christ Alone
4:07, lyrics:
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

This EP was also released by Zach's other project, Drive Me Home Please.
1) Too Far, Too Long
2:30, lyrics:
It’s hard to be
Kind of happy
When all I can see is how
Far you are from me
And I don’t like the feeling of not
Knowing if we’ll see
Each other again because
Maybe we won’t
What if we don’t
Was our goodbye enough
I don’t like growing up
I don’t like growing up
Living alone isn’t
Entirely
All what it has been
Cracked up to be because
I spent eighteen
Years figuring
Out who I am
With my best friends
2) Ice Crystals
2:35, lyrics:
There’s no metaphor about the ice on my attic window, no hidden meaning behind the fact that it’s really cold, no real reason why I chose to wear this shirt, no purpose for my lyrics being about this. This isn’t an allusion to love or missing friends or hating school or feeling alone; this is about ice crystals on my window that just look nice, they really just look nice. I like when things work out and seem to symbolize things but It just doesn’t work out that way all the time and when it does it’s just because that’s the way things are. This really isn’t something I care about but these 24 hours will be long if I use up all of my good thoughts in the first 3. I don’t need to be poetic for you and I won’t but my pick is broken at the tip just like my heart
I think the wind chill is supposed to be about -15 today
3) Soaking It Up
3:29, lyrics:
I don’t think I’m made
to live in a way
that is just like you
I don’t get why you all think that
to have lived my life
I need to live in a place where
I can’t remember
what happened last night
Why is it surprising
That I like the pain sometimes
Isn’t that what we live for
Isn’t that why I’m alive
I’d rather be dying than
numb and questioning what the point
of living is when
I could be dead for the same trouble
What’s the joy in happiness
If it’s what you need to live
I will spend my Fridays
drinking tea and smoking candles
soaking up the sad
soaking up the happy
soaking up the anger
soaking up the consciousness
4) Yr Late
2:00, lyrics:
Hey I know you’re sad, but I’m sad too
I know he doesn’t love you like I do
When are you coming home?
When can things be the way they used to
You really are a special person and that’s why I think
that you should be back here don’t you think
That would make you happy
That would make me happy
Why aren’t we all back home yet
Clearly we can’t live like this
It’s either come back home and be happy or
We’ll all kill ourselves in different states
so come back friends, we don’t need to die yet
I don’t want you to die yet
I need you alive yet
5) 11:38

6) Sea Major
3:16, lyrics not published
7) Finally // Finale
4:22, lyrics:
I miss the way it felt to be with you in your car
there's something relaxing about
the knowledge of destination being a joke
because it's a joke and we do it together
we do it because we feel something together
I don't drink beer but when I do it's goya ginger
I can't do it alone
I can't live alone but we've made it, we're here together
