The Hanging Man

I felt this tired and there’s no escape
A consuming past that I can’t erase
I did my time and was tried again
A pound of flesh that I traded in
It’s the only thing I have
This misplaced hate, this will to do the right thing
Has brought you pain and I can say from the bottom of my heart
I will hang in this cold remembrance
It’s surreal and I want to die
This dance with forgiveness is a lie
You’re out for blood and I can’t decide
You walk with truth and I walk with mine
It’s the only thing I have
You’ve got a noose around my neck and it’s real, it’s death
You’ve got a gun right to my head and it feels real
Please excuse me the hole in my head
I forbid it but he did it again
Seems like something I wouldn’t forgive
I know it’s something I will not forget

No Gods, No Gold

You hold my fate
All of my mistakes
The sky will crack, the earth will quake
Cold dead, seeing red
Here we stand with empty hands
No place of worship, no promised land
I found a way outside this world
It’s not religion or worship the unknown
Now there’s a fire outside my door
They came for witches but it’s me they’re looking for
We’ve all been blown away
These signs look all the same
Let’s now make history
No gods, no gold, no glory
Lately I don’t go outside its cold outside, stay here with me tonight
Maybe I’m cold inside, so dead inside, it’s starting to scare me.

Dying to Live Again
07:29

Seek no pleasure, feel no pain
I’ve had better, better days
I keep running, I will fly
Somethings living, some things die
Found a reason, leap of faith
Poor decision and now I’m faced
With a problem, with a lie
Somethings living, some things die
She haunts me when I wake, while I sleep I hear her scream
They taunt me, those memories
A fondness I dare not speak
They always betray me the voices inside my head
The closer I come to the end the colder I am
What is ending should be dying to live again.

So you feel like a golden god?
You think you’re the chosen one?
Go on tell it like it is
Now you’ve called in the cavalry
And you’ve called it by its proper name
Its genocide
Don’t push back the page, read the words and be saved for this is the truth told by you.
The darkness has faded away, the forest is just past the trees. There’s nobody home for you.
So many died too many lived
The meek will inherit shit
Bring out your dead and carrion
Now we drench the flag in gasoline
Your legacy is dead to me
You want a fight? You want a war?
Before you could walk, before you would run
This is the hill you will die on
Til the death of me, still a mystery
When you die upon the cross all is lost.
On the coldest nights, we know your sacrifice
When you die upon the cross all is lost
Stone cold and you’ll ram it down our throats

High Roads

Last night in the city, got caught in the storm
I’ll show you the way out baby, I’ll show you some more
Out here in the desert, out here in the rain
Alone is the lone wolf baby, always out on his own
Face down in the gutter, not a cent to my name
If I follow the rules this time it might turn out the same
Never want to but I felt I had to take myself down a peg
On my way to a world without you, on my way to the high road
Snowblind in the summer, frost bite in the heat
No time like the present, no time for retreat
Back again in a spiral, the days turn out the same
Just me and my dark cloud baby, now lead me away
Never want to but I felt I had to take myself down a peg
On my way to a world without you, on my way to the high road
The need to disappear, without a trace, without a tear
My heart is without a home, take me with you, take me now.

Murder City

The chill in his bones gets worse by night
He blows a kiss with his eyes
There is no god at this hour she said
With a smile across her lips
The fate of the world is on our minds
Silhouettes, cigarettes and wine
The blood and the flesh he will provide
Don’t say goodbye, don’t say goodnight
He finally has the words to describe:
Carve the cross that he bears with a knife
The cure for the day in the night
You won’t get out alive
Tonight we ride
He’ll lead you down this hollow road
Come in and stay for a while
A promise I promise will keep in time
Take this pill and stay for a while
Draw the shades and lock the door
For a price you can’t go home
If these walls could talk they’d bleed
In your thoughts and on your knees

Leave the Light On

There’s time for just one more song, man
Sit down, you’ve had your moment
Show me something I have not heard yet
Stay with me until the sun sets
Hear the notes down from below
Hold the hands of those you love
Turn it down kid, you play to slow
Leave the light on when you go
You sat with me while we poured our hearts out
And you told me I had something to show the world
Hear the message from your dearly parted
Hold them closer, don’t let them leave your sight at all
How we’ve missed you, the world stopped turning
A crowd of faces, our ears still bleeding
I sit here writing where you left me
I can still hear you, I hear you leaving
Those angels found their way out.
