The River

I can't remember just what I did
but I did it, all the same
Into the hands and feet, now I am hid
with the purging of all of my shame
I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins
I can't confess just what I did
because it burns when it falls down from my lips
back into death I swam without breath
hoping I would remember the shore
I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins
I can't forgive anything I have done
because I am not the only one I have hurt
dreaming of light I took another's life
praying "God, wash the blood off my hands"
I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins
but will I lord?
will I lord?
oh oh oh lord

Reason I'm Here
03:47
|

I have come here tonight to set things right
to drink the night, pick a fight, and fall back in love
I have come here tonight to pull you close to my chest
saying I am raw, broken still, and in love
I've been patiently wrong, I've been foolishly strong
I've been trying to wake up
I have come here tonight to show you where I hurt
here and there, now and then again
I have come here tonight to say I can't do it all
clinch a fist, swing to miss, and stand tall
I've been patiently wrong, I've been foolishly strong
I've been trying to wake up
All these thoughts in my head, oh the living and dead
I've been trying to wake up
There are things that won't be again
because they carry the mind of every man
There are things that won't be again
because they carry the mind of every man
There are things that won't be again
because they carry the mind of every man
I've been patiently wrong, I've been foolishly strong
I've been trying to wake up
All these thoughts in my head, oh the living and dead
I've been trying to wake up

Israel

I drink gospel, but I flow the blues
in my time I have always seen them come in two
I bear the crimson stain of the fall
by tonight I will strip my voice raw
I have carried my past a long way
so I can ruin these precious, given days
make me less, make me less so I can squeeze
my entirety into one soulful plea
I will keep my head here to the ground
my head to a rock to hear your coming sound
I will wait, I will wait for heaven true
come and fight and then take me with you
oh if I could fight the heart of man
if I could wrestle the night with God
oh if I could fight the heart of man
if I could wrestle the night with God
come here now, and be more
show this corpse what's in store
take this heart from my chest
my body's become a filthy mess
I can't feel my heart beat
take it now so we can meet
I can't breathe, I cant breathe
make me less make me less
make me less make me less

Ancient Banks
05:01
|

In the dying sun of what was yesterday
I was the withered and I was the gray
so on the ancient banks I took my roots
now bare feet I stripped off, both my boots
so let that water seep down through
I need to live
I need to live
and I need rest
I need rest
oh oh
I've heard it said that the heart is a heretic
it pumps poison back into the sick
I am not sure if I fully agree
but it's left a mark on my chest from it's heresy
so let that water seep down through
I need to live
I need to live
and I need rest
I need rest
Where is my heart?
Where is my heart?
cause I am tired, I am tired
so let that water seep down through
let that water seep down through
let that water seep down through
let that water seep down through
I need to live
I need to live
and I need rest
I need rest
Where is my heart?
Where is my heart?
cause I am tired, I am tired
oh oh
