The sunlight kisses my forehead
As if to bless me today
And my skin jumps at it's presence
Being estranged by the blanket of night
And no this depression won't kill me
But sometimes I wish that it might..
But I can't help but be selfish
And yeah, I know how that sounds
That is truth I am preaching 
You can carve out my flesh by the pound
But I don't want to be foolish
And I don't want to live a half life
B gravity is a titan
From whom none could ever escape
That was conjured up by a demon 
Who knows and who calls you by name


Villainous Light

There's something in the way you move
it's haunting you
it's haunting me too
And I won't hesitate
to be your big disgrace
'Cause I always tell the truth
And we will drink our wine
And sit in The Silence
that makes us numb..
And I can see
the Other Man
When you slip away
As I try to hold your hand
And death,
 has seemed like a friend
On these dreary days, 
on these haunting nights that we've had.
And I think of our kids
And if they'll remember
these things that we did.
And as I sit in their room
I wonder, and lick my wounds.

The Silence

There's something on your mind
and it's knocking all the time
And sometimes it will break
down the door and say,
"There's no hiding today, 
from this hell we've made."

So come back to me
We'll love again you'll see
And I will die each day
to win your lovely face
There's no storm I won't brave
'Cause if love means anthing
It must last...

And I wanted to come home
but home was just a place I used to know
 And I wanted to believe
That this was never me
and this was never you
And we could pull on through..

And I heard
My Son
Let go
I'll catch you
Take you Home

Home

He makes his way up through the trench in a ball of tangled wire
His arms so aching tired
And through the muck and mud he sees his sarge begin to grin
with crazed delirium he says
My son, that's how the West was Won
We didn't kill the Indians picking flowers
So go on and off with you
and lean your back into
Just knowing that you are the chosen few

And On and on and on, We fight for freedom and the truth!

The congregation gathers around a soldiers funereal 
To uphold the laws of old
And the preachers bullhorn is screetching loud as his face is turning red
Repent or you'll be dead
My son, that's how the West was Won
We didn't save the wicked picking flowers
So go on and off with you
And lean your back into
Knowing that you are the chosen few

And on and on and on-we fight for freedom and the truth!

Welcome to America!
The birthplace of hysteria!
Where the weight of truth will bury ya!
Don't ask me why...
And we will march, the faithful few!
Adorned in red, and white, and blue!
And we'll liberate your life from you!
All dressed in white, never give up the fight!

DId you find Him at the bottom of the bottle?
Or composing your Raggamuffin Gospel?
Where you crucified with him for daring to believe in grace?

With the freaks and lunatics arriving 
To celebrate another day of sobriety
Is the kingdom of God composed from such as these?

As they sing Haleighluia!
Haleighluia!
Haleighluia!
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!

And as the holy and the righteous
Are marching up to the Highest of Highest
Their best good works are burned away as chaff

As they sing Haleighluia!
Haleighluia!
Haleighluia!
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!
