I thought I found my way The woman where I lay Her lips, her tongue, her teeth It all belonged to me She said her father knew That thing that Moses drew Water from the stone Light from broken bone Crash boom pow Do you believe me now? The stone that set me free My brow begins to bleed Within my golden hair The power found in there The dreadful that I dread Fell from my crooked head That's how I know I'm dead The house wherein I stood Within a crooked wood Sometimes I'd try to stay Accursed where I'd lay The table where I'd sit I'm sad because of it My food would turn to dust Below these bones are rust Crash boom pow Do you believe me now? That young man set me free My brow begins to bleed Within my golden hair The power found in there The dreadful that I dread Fell from my crooked head That's how I know I'm dead Who are you? The king that David slew Just when you thought we'd start That's when she broke my heart Crash boom pow Do you believe me now? When David set me free My brow began to bleed Within my golden hair The power found in there The dreadful that I dread Fell from my crooked head That's how I know I'm dead That's how I know I'm free That's how I know I see That's how I know to say That it's okay I failed And even though I'm sad That's how I know I had That is That's how I know I'm dead That's how I know I'm dead

Breathed in when I met you, breathed out when you said And said we loved, silent softly eyes wide always lookin' I always knew it would be me in the end You are the sun, and I play the world I'm slowly spinnin' Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like A flower on the wall inside your head Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like Finally finding God inside your bed Only shook up for she You know it's good when we go word for word over and over Only shook up for she You say you love me, I say every time you shake me up With just one look I can't remember my name I'll play your game, but I can say it's me who loses My life began the day you said you felt the same, That strain again, and the morning shows me what I've proven Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like A flower on the wall inside your head Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like Finally finding God inside your bed Only shook up for she You know it's good when we go word for word over and over Only shook up for she You say you love me, I say every time you shake me up And then I say When I hit the ground I hope I see you there And oh, when I hit the ground You'll tell me how it feels And oh, when I hit the ground I hope to hear my name And oh, when I hit the ground You will know the way I love you Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like A flower on the wall inside your head Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know Hit it up Hit it up 'Cause I gotta know What it feels like Finally finding God inside your bed Oh, I wanna kiss the world I hold within my hands Oh, I wanna kiss the world I hold within my hands Oh, I wanna kiss the world I hold within my hands Oh, I wanna kiss the world I hold Only shook up for she You know it's good when we go word for word over and over Only shook up for she You say you love me, I say every time you shake me up Only shook up for she Lay like the sun and let your tired lips show me the morning Only shook up for she That's all I know, I am alive and you are beautiful You say you love me, I say every time you shake me up You say you love me, I say every time you shake me

Heavily, heavily: Something pounding in my head Tomorrow it'll rain again Heavily, heavily Midnight ringing through the air No one but God had saw me there For the which, I heard him say Tomorrow is as was today Heavily, heavily: Something pounding in my head Tomorrow it'll rain again Heavily, heavily Midnight hero, hear me moan Some days that's just the way it goes Something pounding in my head Maybe this will help forget Heavily, heavily: Something pounding in my head Tomorrow it'll rain again Heavily, heavily

Do you remember yesterday? 'Cause I don't Come in and warm up from the rain But you won't Will I see you from inside my head? Will I feel you in tomorrow's bed? What is it I was supposed to say? Wish that I believed you when you said you loved me Yesterday But am I wrong for being what I am? Or is it you because you played my game? And all that's left of you is in my hand A faded picture of you dressed in grey Will I see you from inside my head? Will I feel you in tomorrow's bed? What is it I was supposed to say? Wish that I believed you when you said you loved me Yesterday I don't know which of us is lost here I hope I'm not I think you said you love me But I forgot Will I see you from inside my head? Will I feel you into tomorrow's bed? What is it I was supposed to say? Wish that I believed you when you said you loved me Yesterday

List the gentleman By the madhouse Strike the jackpot Strike my light Young and old man He know not but Who decides Where he lies Live like Jacob Look the gentry I wear my jacket and I do my part Hate the men who Built the rackets Upon our backs So where does it start In that descending bone Of men's lives not told It is Only seven days Pray to god that you'll be fine Where will you be When the hammer strikes The bottom of our vine There's children smoking Old men crying Time's a joker But's always right Blessed are the blinded How they wonder Why lock my door In a village like mine Bent as before some foul throne We are the kings of the stone It is Only seven days Pray to god that you'll be fine Where will you be When the hammer strikes The bottom of our vine The ones who bleed Were once the ones who shared your wine Where will you be When we've saved them And the ones you love have died There's the gentleman With the finger And he's fed up Full of time Where will you be When the winged People light The pharoah's eyes And that descending bone Of men's lives not told Hear our song of our owe Of how we will not grow old It is Only seven days Pray to god that you'll be fine Where will you be When the hammer strikes The bottom of our vine The ones who bleed Were once the ones who shared your wine Where will you be When we've saved them And the ones you love have died The day I leave Will be as empty as the day I came And above me is an angel But my father doesn't know my name Seven days Pray to god that you'll be fine Where will you be When the hammer strikes The bottom of our vine

My baby found me by the side of the road And she gave me ride And then she took me to her home And she let me inside Oh, when the sun goes dark, my dear There simply ain't no place but here And when it came time to go my own way She gave me a thousand reasons to stay Oh, she didn't need money She didn't need fame All she really need is me to feel the same Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane My baby built us up in honey and gold Taught me to love like I should And when she reached her hand to hold That's how I knew it was good And as the water forms the tides I saw the passion flowing from her eyes Any time that I felt alone A thousand kisses brought me home Oh, she didn't need money She didn't need fame All she really need is me to feel the same Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane And then one day our story closed And only God knew why My mem'ry cast me back onto our spot by the road And she told me not cry As my fingers traced her cheek I found that it was me who was weak That lesson took me long to learn My only home was where her fire burned Oh, she never needed money She never needed fame All she really need is me to feel the same Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane Oh, she loved me On Gallows Lane

Jamie, do you believe me when I say Everything you thought was gone will never go away? Lately, I've been thinking that they must But things that burn down still turn to dust Maybe, Jamie, I give everything a second go And I'll fix all the things I think I can If what you're telling me is that we cannot pick our home Then this old place is simply all I am But what if I was wrong And there's nothing here to go on I had thought this home would have me But in truth there are never second chances It once was mine But he made sure there's no next time So when sun goes down We'll burn that motherfucker to the ground And I can't help but hate the home we knew when all was gone Supper for a song And we all just sang along So I burn it for my brother for the hell that he went through And I know that he would burn it for me too I know that he would burn it for me too I know that he would burn it for me Jamie, did you see it in the news Yellow orange, green, and red with faces black and blue Maybe it was only in a dream That all I saw was ash and you and me Was it something that I felt or something that I said Or was it something deep within my bones And one day when I find brand new place to lay my head I know that I will not lay down alone But what if I was wrong And there's nothing here to go on I had thought this home would have me But in truth there are never second chances It once was mine But he made sure there's no next time So when sun goes down We'll burn that motherfucker to the ground And I can't help but hate the home we knew when all was gone Supper for a song And we all just sang along So I burn it for my brother for the hell that he went through And I know that he would burn it for me too I know that he would burn it for me too I know that he would burn it for me

The Sailor 04:36

I took his money and I left him his home I had to get going and he had to grow old I should have known that he was all I'd ever be But I would not believe The sailor lives by the shore A life full of water, and he wanted more Now he can't tell between the end of the glass And what his years have passed The sailor looks back on his life and he says I'm still a man A life lived like a sacrifice no one can understand I look upon his sunken face and I see the damage done And in that way I guess I'd say I am the sailor's son I am the sailor's son What was his is now mine Everything will fade if you give enough time So when I woke from a prayer Why did I see him there The sailor looks back on his life and he says I'm still a man A life lived like a sacrifice no one can understand I look upon his sunken face and I see the damage done And in that way I guess I'd say I am the sailor's son I am the sailor's son Is this the way it feels When mem'ries become dreams after so many years But what I never asked before Is why I closed the door The sailor looks back on his life and he says I'm still a man A life lived like a sacrifice no one can understand I look upon his sunken face and I see the damage done And in that way I guess I'd say I am the sailor's son I am the sailor's son

Oh, our yesterdays are done Sarling you are staying while The darkness draws me on Oh, it doesn't matter how The wind will blow us on and on Until the candle's out Darling don't you worry Honey don't you cry Baby don't you say a word Not even to ask why 'Cause even though I'm going I am never really gone, and when The reaper comes a-knocking I'll be there to bring you home Oh, remember me my part Applaud me at my curtain I am conquering the dark Oh, and now the charm is done I know I have no regrets Because we were in love, now Darling don't you worry Honey can't you see There's a time for everything And now it's time to leave And even though I'm going I am never really gone, and when The reaper comes a-knocking I'll be there to bring you home My hour in the sun Is sinking fast So hold me when I'm done Then let me pass Oh, just think about the day I'll come back here to find you And it all will be okay Oh, can't you hear it in my breath Our yesterdays have lighted me The way to dusty death Darling don't you worry Honey hold me more Time will march for everyone And now it's at my door But even though I'm going I am never really gone, and when The reaper comes a-knocking I'll be there to bring you home When the reaper comes a-knockin I'll be there to bring you home My hour in the sun Is sinking fast So hold me when I'm done Then let me pass Darling don't you worry Honey don't you cry Baby don't you say a word Not even to ask why 'Cause even though I'm going I am never really gone, and when The reaper comes a-knocking I'll be there to bring you home Oh when the reaper comes a-knockin I'll be there to bring you home Now darling don't you worry Honey I am free And you need not do anything Except remember me 'Cause even though I'm going I am never really gone, and when The reaper comes a-knocking I'll be there to bring you home To bring you home

Sinai 04:37

I saw me falling inside my mind I swear this happens all the time And I can't help but feeling it will happen down the line I wanted out I wanted out I wanted everything you said you can't live without I swore to God it was all in my head But you said Then you said Stay where you are and close your eyes Even though I couldn't breathe Just one look and now you're mine Give me just one more minute here Coo coo Coo coo Grab a pillow for my head These broken bones are my last bed What if mama could see me now? Would she be proud Of me We'll see The blood in me comes from you And from my father It doesn't matter what I do You gave me wine when I asked for water I know I'm falling by the sound But I don't know why I'm standing up and I'm on the ground We all came from Sinai I'll be the bad guy if I can be the good guy next time I know that's just the game I just didn't think that This would be Why everyone Would know my name
