below are the lyrics of anberlin's single "disappear". this song is about the marginalized, the hopeless, and those that remain unloved either by circumstance or choice. this song is about the homeless, and not forgetting them. it's is about not leaving them behind and waiting with your arms open wide, so they and we could embrace the love of Christ. let this song challenge you and convict you, to the point of action, to the point of prayer, to the point of care.
we are the last of the sleepless onesleft behind by those we left behind tonight
quiet now let the poison take
were we always just your lost cause mistakes
wait for me will you wait for me
need you on my side
way for me make way for me
with arms wide
alone left alone
watch us slowly disappear with time
unknown still unknown
forgotten, lost, and left behind
dark lit streets are no place for kids
but it gives us more of a home than you ever did
we're the silentist's left to our own demise
you're still our last chance to get out of this place alive
wait for me will you wait for me
with arms wide
alone left alone
watch us slowly disappear with time
unknown still unknown
forgotten, lost, & left behind
I believe there are things worse off in the world than the problems and thoughts that I entertain on a daily basis. I believe that there are a lot of people that have been deceived and desensitized and feel the same way that I do. I believe that this life is not all there is, and I believe that the best possible way to live your life is by following our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
I believe that this world is in need of a revolution. I believe there is a cry coming from people who don’t have a voice. People who need our help, our resources, and most importantly our concern. I believe there is a message that needs to be shared with everyone that has ears, a message that brings life, hope, love, peace, and truth. A message that brings the promise of eternal life and that will return a joy that nothing on this planet could ever match.
I believe there is a need for reform. I believe that we need to be the change that we want to see in the world. I believe that is only possible through our working together for the same cause, with the same purpose, for Him. I believe we can be the difference. I believe that we are the difference. I believe that we will be the difference.
Favorite Quotes:
"The Problem is not a certain type of legislation or even a certain politician; the problem is the same that it has always been.
I am the problem.
I think every conscious person, every person who is awake to the functioning principles within his reality, has a moment where he stops blaming the problems in the world on group think, on humanity and authority, and starts to face himself. I hate this more than anything. This is the hardest principle within Christian spirituality for me to deal with. The problem is not out there; the problem is the need beast of a thing that lives in my chest."

"I'm talking about self-absorption. If you think about it, the human race is pretty self-absorbed... What i mean is, as a human, I am flawed in that it is difficult for me to consider others before myself. It feels like I have to fight against this force, this current within me that, more often than not, wants to avoid serious issues and please myself, buy things for myself, feed myself, entertain myself, and all of that. All I'm saying is that if we, as a species, could fix our self-absorption, we could end alot of pain in the world."
