Damocles

a sword of Damocles that hangs above my head
save your pity for someone who really needs it
I won't bend, i won't break
did you really think you'd make me say sorry
and admit that i was wrong?
it shoots right down into my spine
the emcee says 'thank you for your time
the show's over, everyone go home'
and they leave me there to bleed out aone
bring me the head of everyone who made me what I've been
I made the wrong people pay
it was supposed to be me
whatever you say
I'll run it again
an old video of words to a friend
whatever you say
I'll run it again
I'll run it again and again and again and again

Redemption
03:19
|

I'm about my father's work now
is it too late?
bred into my bones, it's all I know
there's just one way
and I pray that you're out there somewhere
and you'll wait for me
rise up to the surface and say you won't leave
and I cannot go home if I can't be in your arms
you're the only way that I can make up for this harm
please say you'll come out of the ocean
you are my redemption
mutually assured destruction
for my unforgivable sins
I'm not asking for that, I'm not asking for that
all I'm asking for is
you to rise in the morning
not to die without warning
teach me everything that you know
you know this world will not forgive me
but I am free when you are with me
far above the world below
and I cannot go home if I can't be in your arms
you're the only way that I can make up for this harm
please say you'll come out of the ocean
you are my redemption
nisi nirvana
and I cannot go home if I can't be in your arms
you're the only way that I can make up for this harm
please say you'll come out of the ocean
you are my redemption

Dog Heart
06:32

kicking up dirt in the yard
lost a bet on a couple of bad checks
you say that makes us who we are
burying the dog's heart
can't fight the spellcraft now so I guess I'll have to play a part
but I didn't ask for this
didn't ask for you
slept outside 'cause I told myself I wanted to
now I'm afraid to hope for something new
visions of the future always beat me black and blue
but I wanted you to change
forgo god's unfailing grace
say there is another way
and I know I've gotta choose
you get to grow your hair out
or you get to let them know and hate you
I choose whatever fate comes shambling my way
'I'm sure you'll find a solution, honey'
but that don't make the hunger go away
a fool is he who runs from his nature
isn't that what the ancients say?
I promise I'll be sorry at the end
sorrows only slow me down 'til then
I'm gonna take the hard way home
but I probably would have stayed if I knew I'd have to go alone
and I knew all hope was lost
with a body cold beside me
the one who really paid the cost
and even though I knew it was a lie
I'll believe it every time
