Holy Ghost 03:15
Children gather around Listen up now, the story is true You’re name, it don’t mean a thing About where you’ve been Or what you have seen A river runs under your feet Get down on your knees It will wash you clean Holy Ghost He knows my name I hear you crying at night I sing along as you weep until dawn The sun starts to rise It will dry off your eyes As you step toward the light The air that you breathe in the light Will surely sustain you from day until night Holy Ghost He knows my name I throw my hands into the air I sing in tongues and nobody cares I dance for hours then collapse at my knees That’s the Holy Ghost He knows my name So People gather around And listen up now The story is true

I set out one morning to follow my breath The sun was still rising inside of my chest My bike tires low on air, my head feeling light I am ridin’, I am flyin’, I am feeling just fine But when I had arrived at the end of the road And I had to decide where next I would go I fell to the ground and said “God where am I at?” I am nowhere, I am no one, I aint ever goin’ back You see there’s plenty of pills in my medicine box And I could have my pick from the entire lot But I refuse to lean on a crutch or a cane I am walking, I am running, I won’t ever be the same Hopefully I turn on my TV and I shed a tear You simply can’t believe all the things that you hear When everyone is trapped in their American mind All your knowledge is just rubbish if you haven’t got a spine And all the smiles on the faces of the people I see I cannot decipher if they’re smiling at me Or if they are just hiding all their judgment and shame I am laughing, I am crying, Because I’m just as much to blame Tell me can’t you hear all the traffic in the street All the people on their way to buy whatever they please Just throw money at the problem and pray that it sticks It may be easy, may look shiny, but that doesn’t mean that it’s fixed Not at all The past is a soldier who falls to his knees The past is the changing color in the leaves the past is a promise that never was fulfilled Maybe forgiven or forgotten, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t real The present is a schoolgirl whispering lies The present is a mansion collapsed by the tide The present is a memory just waiting to be had But you must move you must look forward We won’t ever get it back The future is just pages waiting to be a book The future is a camera full of pictures to be took The future is a chariot, white horses and fire We are waiting, we are wanting, we are full of desire We are waiting, we are wanting, we are full of desire We are waiting, we are wanting, we are full of desire Some of us

At only 13 he figured it out But no one would hear him talk Home alone with that poisonous thought No one would hear him talk His father, he wept. His mother, she cried The whole town put on a parade No one had pictured things happening this way Well "He was just depressed" They would say Now is the time to get it right Now is the time to wake up We'll never get no where if we stay in one place Say "Hello" to the human race. At only 18 she figured it out It was easy and pleasurable too But money and fame could never replace The family who would abandon her soon Her father, he wept. Her mother, she screamed Her brother was heartbroken too Curled in a ball, in her bed soaked with tears She could never repay what she's due Now is the time to get it right Now is the time to wake up We'll never get no where if we stay in one place Say "Hello" to the human race. Lean on me and I'll lean on you Because I can't get by on my own Open your arms and to them I'll run My heart needs somewhere to call home

When I leave here I will still go home Don't have to say it because I already know Left a note on the counter I'll be there in an hour if you're alone Don't stand up too quick or you'll lose your head Just take a deep breath close your eyes and count to ten Don't jump off from that ledge man No one wants to have to clean that mess Everyone's got problems, Everyone has needs Don't matter your name, I know you're heart still bleeds If you're breathing you're getting older If you're leaving you're getting closer to where you should be You can't deny that I have tried my best You don't need to say, I think I can figure out the rest You fold your hands and pray to God Hope no strangers looking on will think you're odd I won't say we're even, no you've clearly won You deserve much more than i could begin to let on Put the trophy on the mantle, Light some candles Quoting scripture all night long Everyone wants answers, Everyone wants more Don't matter your age, there is something you're waiting for If you're breathing you're getting older If you're leaving you're getting closer If you're trying you're getting smarter If you're living it's getting harder to breathe

Don't you know they're gonna find you Don't you know they'll find the truth Don't you know they're gonna find you You better pray that they never do I've been looking for some company The journey's long and bitter cold You're not human if you're not struggling You're not human without a soul I've been looking for an answer I've been looking for the light I spend my days waiting for night to come And when it comes then I sleep just fine If I was smart I'd turn and run away I'd flee just like my enemies But it's exactly what has made them flee That keeps on attracting me So go ahead and find me I'll tell you all the truth So go ahead and find me In fact I pray that that's what you'll do

Take It All 04:27
I thought I told you never again, I thought I told you but you never listen, So I cried on my knees for forty days and nights, You kept on promising that you'd make things right, But nothing has changed, I'm not sure you even know my name I thought I told you don't ever go there, I know I told you you just didn't care, So I kept on crying just pacing the floor, You kept on shouting "Come On, I Want More", But I gave my all, And I won't be the one to take the fall, No you can take it all I thought I told you never again, I thought I told you don't ever go there, But you never listen and you never care, That's the only reason I've been ripping out my hair, because I gave my all, I am still the one to take the fall, Oh No I'll take it all

The boxer in the ring he keeps on swinging 'til he bleeds Once he's bleeding he keeps swinging until he's down For the count and bleeding out In shock and awe the audience applauds and his lover has to fight through the crowd She knows that he's the champ when he shows 'em he can dance Fighting every single Friday night at nine He may die but he will go out strong He may die but he will prove them wrong He may die and he won't quit until he does He may die but he's done the best he ever could His manager is still upset wondering why nobody would place any bets A shot to the chest steals the swagger from his step Nobody's betting 'cause they all know who will win His mother will cry with his father at her side As they stare into the TV screen Their baby boy making money from blood He may die but he's done the best he ever could He may die but he will go out strong He may die but he will prove them wrong He may die and he won't quit until he does He may die but he's done the best he ever could

Don't you worry, I've been far from here Planned on a couple months, but stayed for several years And I would come back to you but I'm too scared to now You always spoke the truth, I never knew quite how But I found Love I found Enough Oh dear friends I don't expect you to understand I never told you much, You always had the upper-hand And it is far too late for us to try and make amends We cannot sever ties, we are but fearful men Has it taken us this long to find we've just stuck in reverse I tried to pull it out, it seems I made things so much worse But I found Love I found Enough I know I've spent more time out here Than I ever spent with you in all these years I cannot apologize for all the times I hung you out to dry But I found Love I found Enough
