From there, the band would continue to rise in the charts. In 2007, they released their fifth full-length, The Flame in All of Us, which was produced by Ken Andrews (Beck, Chris Cornell, Pete Yorn). Arriving in 2009, the aggressive Welcome to the Masquerade, which would be the band's last release with Tooth & Nail, entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 35, peaking at number two on the Christian rock chart. It was their most successful album to date and would spawn the band's first live album, Live at the Masquerade. The group's next studio album, The End Is Where We Begin, was issued in 2012. It was their first album released entirely independently. Continuing the upward chart trajectory with each subsequent release, The End debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and claimed the top spots on both the hard rock and Christian charts. In late 2013, the band released Made in Canada: The 1998-2010 Collection, which included two new tracks. Thousand Foot Krutch remained independent into 2014, relying on crowd-sourcing for the release of the energetic Oxygen: Inhale, the first part of a pair of hard rock chart-topping LPs. The heavier Exhale followed in 2016, marking TFK's third consecutive Christian number one.

Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you view incompetence
So we have to remedy
Our extreme lack of confidence
I love the way you move
You cover me like oxygen
Touched by your innocence
I love the way you are
The way you move, the way you speak,
And I like the way you heal
The hole inside, that's incomplete
I know the way you feel
The way you view incompetence
I have to remedy
And make this up again
And when I feel this way, it's hard not to let...
[Chorus]
Go, when I feel, like I feel, the way I feel
Go, I"m into you, just help me find a way this time
Go, when I feel, like I feel, the way i feel
Go, let it grow, wind me up and let me go
I love the way you twist, the way you're so mysterious
We'll have to stay in line, to let you know we're serious
I know the way you've seen, the way your hands have covered me
Touched by your gratitude, I'll break the skin and come undone
Stand up, the time is now
Look at the faces in the crowd,
Do you want to just be one?
Or will you choose to overcome?
Stretch, take off your hurt
Leave your anger in the dirt
No more feelings, let it work
Let the growing take over
