Already Gone

|
I can't sleep
It smells different here
I put on a brave face
But I don't like changes
You can't be weak
When you have everything you need
You can't just keep
Everyone you love in little knick-knack boxes on the wall
I'm longing for a place that has already been
And I am struggling to reach
Oh was that the highest peak
Take me back where I belong
Take me back where I belong
I am longing for a place that is already gone
I can't run
It's too heavy now
I've gotten in a foothold
But my knees are scraping
You can't be weak
You have everything you need
You can't just keep
Everyone you love in little knick-knack boxes on the wall
I'm longing for a place that has already been
And I am struggling to reach
Oh was that the highest peak
Take me back where I belong
Take me back where I belong
I am longing for a place that is already gone

Holy Man
03:09

|
Who is the holy man and what does he believe?
That we must cover up our bodies
We must show humility
I believe my body is beautiful and it belongs to me
What makes a holy man? What does he decree?
There is an order to this place and he's atop the hierarchy
I believe there's no one above me and no one underneath
But I'm a sinner I'm a whore
I'm rotten to the core and you're the holy man
It's to you that He confides
You have god on your side
And you're the holy man
Yeah you're the holy man
I hear the holy man
He's calling for our souls
That we must kneel, beg forgiveness like it's something that we owe
I believe our only stipulation is the kindness that we show
But I'm a sinner I'm a whore
I'm rotten to the core and you're the Holy Man
It's to you that He confides
You have god on your side
And you're the Holy Man
Yeah you're the holy man

San Antonio
03:27
|

|
Police cordon off the street
One car at each end of the block
Hear the siren of the SWAT team
It's a clear day in San Antonio
Your friends are watching it on Facebook
On a live-stream
Under the post where you said 'Goodbye'
And your kids
They're in school now
Three little girls pulled out their classes
The chief of the the police
Approaches the microphones
Of the journalists who have come to report the story
He said you called before you shot her
Before you turned it on yourself
And they asked
What was weapon that you used
It was a handgun
It's a clear day in San Antonio

Blood

I see the blood spill if I spill mine
Will I feel better will I feel just fine?
Oh blood blood blood blood blood
It flows through our veins
How can something that makes us the same
Be used as something to divide
You see the blood spill if you spill mine
Will you feel better, will you feel just fine?
Oh blood blood blood blood blood
It flows through our veins
How can something that makes us the same
Be used as something to divide
They all fall down in to the river, in to the river
Why would you harden their hearts?
I see the blood spill if I spill mine
Will I feel better will I feel just fine
Oh blood blood blood blood blood
It flows through our veins
How can something that makes us the same
Be used as something to divide

Here

I woke up this morning in my baby's arms
and I felt safe from the weight of the world
Lying in the glow of pure understanding
That whispers the words we already know
This is real and this is good
Everything is where it should
I am where I should be
Here
As I lay down to sleep in some some faraway town
I still feel the warmth of your arms
Love is longer than the ride
It's always with me here inside
My heart is where you'll be
Here
This is the whole, these are the parts
This is the end, this is the start
Here

No
03:08

|
I wanted it to be over but that seemed kind of cruel
So I just held my breath and I waited for you
To take what you wanted
To take what you came to
With my thoughts I am walking
I see you on my way
You're watching me, you come over
Does that mean I should stay?
And give you attention or at least a kiss goodbye
I'm not asking for trouble
I'm not asking for trouble baby yeah
I don't know why it feels so hard to say
When I bring you your coffee you hold to onto my arm
And you ask for my number doesn't do any harm
And you want my attention or maybe a kiss goodbye
I'm not asking for trouble
I'm not asking for trouble baby yeah
I don't know why it feels so hard to say
Say no
I don't know why it feels so hard to say no
I run calculations in my head every day
The other sides of equations
You can't know what they weigh
I'm not asking for trouble
I'm not asking for trouble baby yeah
I don't know why it feels so hard to say
Now I'm not asking for trouble
I'm not asking for trouble baby yeah
I don't know why it feels so hard to say no
Say no
