one puff & yur hooked forevermore
sum folks would trade their children
& sum might turn ta liquid vapin
& sum might just start a'growin

oh, the devil's weed it takes yur world apart
one puff & yur hooked forevermore
oh, the devil's weed it takes yur world apart

i have lived as a rich man
though i am very poor
& i have seen the darkness
& i've seen the light uv the world
i have hated the one that i luv

& all of my hope is lost
we're payin forever in sweat & blood
though noone knows the cost
sumday all uv our cities shall fall
& they will all turn ta rust
& who will be ol jesus
a'hangin upon a cross
pray for all uv yur children
& those not yet thought of
for they shall all suffer
the wrath uv almighty god
& sumone will have ta be jesus
a'hangin upon a cross
yeah, sumtimes ya gotta be jesus
a'dyin upon a cross

Demons In My Head
03:50
|
|

The demons in my head
They torture me
They blind my eyes so that
I cannot see, cannot see
Folks have tried to help me
Yeah they've tried
But they all ended up losing hope
'Cause all hope has died, it has died
And while everyone's out there
Movin' ahead
I'm still stuck down here
With 'em demons in my head
In my head
The demons in my head
They make me sick
'Cause when they appear I'd say
They tend to stick, oh yeah they stick
You strive so much to help folks
And then you just quit
You strive so much to help 'em
Only to treat them like shit, and get treated like shit
And while everyone's out there
Movin' ahead
I'm still stuck down here
With 'em demons in my head
In my head
Lord complains, Lord does wish
That I'd turn away
But it's not me doin' it, it's the demons
That make it this way, they make it this way
Folks are leaving faster
Faster than I can see
But as far as I can tell,
Those folks never cared for me, cared about me
And while everyone's out there
Movin' ahead
I'm still stuck down here
With 'em demons in my head
In my head
King Saul had himself some tormentors
And to King Saul I can relate
I'm sure I'll end up just like King Saul
Sharin' his fate, I'll be sharin' his fate
Pushing that sword deeper
Down into my chest
I stopped carin' long time ago
Just let me rest, let me rest
And while everyone's out there
Movin' ahead
I'm still stuck down here
With 'em demons in my head
In my head

I want to fly into your sun
Need faith to make me numb
Live like a teenage christ
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide
Oh mary, mary
To be this young is oh so scary
Mary, mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
Spin my way out of hell, there's nothing left this soul to sell
Live fast and die you too
How many times to do this for you?
How many times to do this for you?
Mary, mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
Long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
Sell my soul for anything, anything but you
Sell my soul for anything, anything but you

Right
*******
It's a cold rain
Coming down inside
And outside... there's no shelter
from the storm
It's a heavy chain...
swallowin' my pride
But it's the only way
that you're gonna get me warm.
There's a dark cloud
covering our house
My chasing rainbows...ran away the sun
and I'm too proud... to shut my mouth
But, I know damn well
I'm not the only one
But anyway...
I'll go ahead
and say, "I'm sorry"
I need you more than
I need to win this fight
If I wake up to find
that you're still here tomorrow
I'll be satisfied
Knowing I did what was right.
There's an ill wind
Blowing between us
I'll hold my breath
and hope that it subsides.
Just kiss me again
and let's not fuss
If your walls come down
I've got no place to hide
Let the storms pass
They'll come around again
But, no bolt of lightning
ever hit me like you do
And storms don't last
the way we do
And the only shelter
that I have
is you.
So, anyway...
I'll go ahead
and say, "I'm sorry"
I need you more than
I need to win this fight
If I wake up to find
that you're still here tomorrow
I'll be satisfied
Knowing I did what was right.
I'll be satisfied...
Knowing... I was right.

Set Me Free

i look in the mirror & what do i see
a skeleton staring back at me
i close my eyes & clench my teeth
& pray for the lord ta set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
i go ta the river most everyday
& time passes like water in front of me
i close my eyes & ignore the pain
& pray for the lord ta set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
i try ta sleep but i'm wide awke
i'm haunted by memories & by mistakes
i close my eyes & i go insane
& pray for the lord ta set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
oh-whoah-oh set me free
