Today and Tomorrow

We're really excited about where In Our Time is headed.  Recording soon, writing more songs, and just having fun while doing it.  We are always available to talk if anyone needs it.  If you need encouragement, we can do it by having a heart-to-heart or hopefully by our music and lyrics as well.

The lyrical content of our upcoming (and debut) release, Yesterday, is dealing with the past.  What we have done in the past and how we wish we didn't screw up so much.  We are huge sinners and need Christ.  So Yesterday is an autobiographical look into our hearts and our minds and how we need to change as people.  It is a look into relationships, depression, impurity, apathy, and stress.  It is a cry for help - a praise for today, and excitement for tomorrow.

We want others to be able to enjoy our music as much as we enjoy playing it.

Please stay with us.  This is just the beginning.

Recording


















If all goes as planned, we will be recording in mid-late October.  Yesterday.

Yesterday - lyrics

twenty years old and i have lost my way/i pray to be in a better place next year/wanting, waiting for something more/looking out for an open door that's near/something is missing. there's a hole in my heart/i have nothing to prove, i have nothing to show for/i'm apathetic, feeling so pathetic/i haven't lived up and i'm looking worthless/as i take another   breath   my life is wasting, heart is dead/as i stand here, faith in hand/now what have i done with my life?/another day, another night/i'm just wasting all my time/i'm an outcast, i don't fit in here/all i want to do is go on tour this year/lazy days fall into lazy nights/no longer seeing any open doors around here/my life is not right/here i am, just wasting all my time/as i take another   breath   my life is wasting, heart is dead/as i stand here, faith in hand/now what have i done with my life?/another day, another night/i'm just wasting all my time/here am i, i stand here waiting/here am i, send me out/as i take another   breath   my life is wasting, heart is dead/as i stand here, faith in hand/now what have i done with my life?/another day, another night/i'm just wasting all my time/not sharing all of Your light.

Standing - lyrics

i want to live like the man i chose to be:/standing above reproach and trying to see/grant me the courage to rise up and lead/i want to live like the man i chose to be/trying to see where i went wrong/i want to apologize for where i have gone/i ask: "why do i live this way?"/i never want to see the day/where i go wrong again.

Burdens - lyrics

i remember that day/when i spit in Your face/"i don't need Your help"/i say as i clench my jaw and/taste the blood fill up my mouth/of iron, stresses and self-doubt/my fears cover up my trust in You/i know that i'm without You, too/my fear has taken me too far/away from home where i can't find peace/my heart has run away too far/i am under this weight that's beginning to crush me/there's so much that i can't do on my own/when the weather doesn't change for me/i go downhill so gracefully/my fears cover up my trust in You/how can i ever make it through?/my fear has taken me too far/away from home where i can't find peace/my heart has run away too far/i am under this weight that's beginning to crush me/i can't define the way i feel/when the weight is lifted/i throw it away/i give it all up tonight.

Shelter - lyrics

there were drops of rain that were cold as ice/falling on my face, they have stopped my sight/anywhere apart from this i'd rather be/a place where i can rest my heart and finally see/i need a shelter, i need a home/discouragement has taken away all my life/shortcomings and darkness cover up the light/my friends try to pull me out and let me be/a man that can rest his heart and finally see/i need a shelter, i need a home/i'm safe from the rain/i'm saved from my mistakes/God, i'm home/i found my shelter, i found my home.

Waiting - lyrics

my heart is beating a thousand miles an hour/energy's depleting living life without her/"and you got so much more to offer/take a second mortgage instead of starting over."/i can hear Your voice in a crowd/but they're pulling me in different directions/i'd say "i'm lost and i'm found"/but maybe i am still waiting/my God, i'm not complaining. i just keep getting turned around/and now i feel like leaving because nothing here is working out/i'd kill for a chance to know/that this path is where i need to go/i can hear Your voice in a crowd/but they're pulling me in different directions/i'd say "i'm lost and i'm found"/but maybe i am still waiting/i want to be anywhere but here/but right here is where i need to be.
