“Breaking Out” was released in February 2018 as a stand-alone single by Nine Lashes. It reached #27 on the Christian Rock Chart. The band shared that it was written “as an expression of the idea that peace comes in unpredictable forms and from unpredictable places”.
[Verse 1]
We find peace in the most unlikely place
But no one ever told you so
So you were left alone and cold
[Chorus 1]
It's the trust in ever-after as it's told
It's the finding out a way to let this go
Though the pain has held you down
[Chorus 2]
This is the day we're breaking out, breaking out of here
But you better not give up and go back home
Cause He had to die to give you light, give you light again
So you could find your way back among the living
[Verse 2]
These roads never take us all that far
They lead us into days where lights grow dim
We were never meant to be our sin
[Chorus 1]
It's the trust in ever-after as it's told
It's the finding out a way to let this go
Though the pain has held you down
[Chorus 2]
This is the day we're breaking out, breaking out of here
But you better not give up and go back home
Cause He had to die to give you light, give you light again
So you could find your way back among the living
[Verse 3]
And we were changed
We were the dead
But now we're back as someone else
And we were changed
All of the pieces of our past have found their end (without me)
[Chorus 2]
This is the day we're breaking out, breaking out of here
But you better not give up and go back home
Cause He had to die to give you light, give you light again
So you could find your way back
This is the day we're breaking out , breaking out of here
But you better not give up and go back home
Cause He had to die to give you light, give you light again
So you could find your way back among the living
