Lyrics:

He's a psycho freak
They're all whispering
So he'll become what they
Wanted anyway
They won't forgive his sins
They're lying through their grins
It seems the only ones who listen
Are the demons

She's a fallen star
Covering every scar
The pills she's swallowing
They take away the pain
Will someone ever know?
The empty chasm grows
She won't remember who she is
Until tomorrow

Too many souls have been left out in the cold
Cause they're different from us
As the dark closes in
Who will be there to rescue them?

We're sending out the searchlights
If you're lost and drowning
Look for the beam of light
With darkness surrounding
Oh, you are loved
Don't you give up
Don't let your breath begin to fade
Keep your head above the waves

He's in apathy
The colors seem to fade
No one's inquiring
Will they be missing me
If only someone cared
How did we get to here?
He never wanted to be locked
In the dragon's lair

Too many souls have been left out in the cold
Cause they're different from us
As the dark closes in
Who will be there to rescue them?

We're sending out the searchlights
If you're lost and drowning
Look for the beam of light
With darkness surrounding
Oh, you are loved
Don't you give up
Don't let your breath begin to fade

Look into my eyes I see you in there
Fight now for your life
Love has conquered fear

We're sending out the searchlights
If you're lost and drowning
Look for the beam of light
With darkness surrounding
Oh, you are loved
Don't you give up
Don't let your breath begin to fade

We're sending out the searchlights
If you're lost and drowning
Look for the beam of light
With darkness surrounding
Oh, you are loved
Don't you give up
Don't let your breath begin to fade
Keep your head above the waves

We're sending out the searchlights
Keep your head above the waves

I’m going to look back one day and be one of those people that is like “yeah, I listened to Bayless before they were huge 😎”.

[braydengaron]

Discovered this song several months ago and I found this song in the middle of a battle between me and darkness that is temptation. This song...this is more than a song, it's the emotion I feel toward the darkness. Please don't stop making songs like this.

[patrickdanis]

This is big, like, this song is strong, powerfull and fearless....absolute metal at is best.

[DropTheGuac]

This song/music video is AWESOME!!! ♥️🔥

[michealsilvey]

🔥 HOT.... praying many reach for the searchlight. Thank you!!!!

[radiofm]

I'm not sure how much I love this.... but it is A TON!!

[faithboy]

I always find a meaning that I'm not sure is intended in your songs. Speaking as a counselor, I see this as a way to explain how many struggling with mental health are drowning in their pain and seeking for a rescue from that ocean. I could just be reading too deeply. All the same, it's a fantastic song.

[cnarez]

Epic!!! Love the Edge, Everything compliments the Other!! Well Done Team!!!

[samsupercreature]

when I was getting into Christian rock, one of the first songs I ever listened to (outside of DCtalk) was No More Suffering. that song stuck with me and I found myself listening to more Christian rock and more of your songs. For two years I've been a fan

[BrianShook]

Absolutely love the new song, such raw emotion and power! Gave me chills in a good way from beginning to end. God bless you guys. Once more you have touched my heart and soul with your amazing music and talent. I absolutely love you all and appreciate your ministry.

[standtall]

So much has changed since I last saw these guys. Thank you so much for continuing to send God's love and message to those who are lost and drowning.

[kerimcclanahan]

This one hit heavy guys, ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 love it!

[vickifeisty]

Very symbolic and well done…the bassist’s cousin is my nephew’s wife who provided a link on Facebook and I had to watch because talent is a staple in both families. This surely is a talented group and I wish you all the best.

[sarrowthehedgehog]

Okay so I watched the lyrics video before the actual music video, and honestly the music video made the song even more powerful

[sparco]
