We hang on walls Like we hang on words Holding faith in everything That we’ve heard Too blind to see our neighbors bleed While plutocrats take aim At you and me From their point of view If it’s a hit, it’s a hit If it’s a miss, it’s a miss And regardless, it doesn’t mean shit And they couldn’t care less Cause there’s nothing in it for them Looking for justice Within this conflict of interest We live in fear Cause that’s all that we know Break our backs and our brains Then recover at home Bind our hands and our legs Put us on display Then complain that we complain Just keep on ignoring us Looking for justice Within this conflict of interest You say I wouldn’t accomplish Without your hands in my pockets Looking for justice Within this conflict of interest You say I wouldn’t accomplish Without your bombs and your rockets Well, I disagree And I know it’s just me All alone And so I’ll remain On this wall With my shame A bag of bones A bag of bones Just a bag of bones

Tuned Out 04:37
Life is a maze And in this state of malaise I just need something To hold onto For what on earth could sustain Through trepidation and the mundane While the world consumes you? Consumes you Tune me out If you’re gonna cry, turn away I don’t have time for that today Call on Jesus if you need saved Consult a sinner if you need praise It's time that you go Cause despite all my lies I know I can't hide My tears anymore The end of the show Blank stare in my eyes Only fuzz on the screen Return to monotony Tune me out If you’re gonna cry, turn away I don’t have time for that today Call on Jesus if you need saved Consult a sinner if you need praise Break, don’t speak I don’t want to hear About love and loss And all of your fears Revive the meek with stories to fill my ears Of the thugs who called the shots And wasted Wasted all those years I’m tuning out Not coming back I’m tuning out

I'm alive And that's all I can ask So hand me my mask And I'll throw the poison back And I'll grow old Doing all that I'm told Growing one hole in my liver For every two in my soul And maybe I'll come to forgive But until then I'd rather you were dead And maybe I'll learn to love again But until then I'll be crying myself to sleep in my bed Jesus Christ, would you turn your cheek To the pleasure I seek? Or hold hot coals to my feet? Cause I've grown tired Of this faith you've inspired And each passing week I wait in vain for her to crawl back to me And maybe I'll come to forgive But until then I'd rather you were dead And maybe I'll learn to love again But until then I think it's just as well You laying there leaking thoughts like a sieve From the hole I put in your head From the hole I put in your head And maybe I'll come to forgive But until then I'd rather you were dead And maybe I'll learn to love again But until then I'll be crying myself to sleep in my bed And maybe I'll come to forgive And maybe I'll learn to love again And maybe I'll come to forgive And maybe I'll learn to love again And maybe I'll come to forgive And maybe I'll learn to love again And maybe I'll come to forgive And maybe I'll learn to love again Love again Love again

You stare straight through me As you try to erase The memories that haunt you From our first days Another drink Another tear down your cheek There hasn't been a smile On your face in weeks So you wait on me With an eye on the clock Fearing your dreams As it seems you forgot that Whether or not you want me to I'll follow you And wait outside your home So you know you're not alone Until the light enters your eyes After another restless night Because you were too afraid To sleep tight Don't you think You can hide from me I'll be waiting right here for you patiently For as long as it takes Until you too pass I've got all the time in the world And these feelings will last Whether or not you want me to I'll follow you And wait outside your home So you know you're not alone Until the light enters your eyes After another restless night Because you were too afraid to sleep tight And I won't have the might to turn away While you bathe No, that wouldn't be right To waste my sight On anything less beautiful than you Does it scare you my dear (My dear, my dear) That I'm always near (I'm always near) Cause I can't complain Even with my body in a grave Whether or not you want me to I'll follow you And wait outside your home So you know you're not alone Until the light enters your eyes After another restless night Because you were too afraid to sleep tight And I won't have the might to turn away While you bathe No, that wouldn't be right To waste my sight On anything less beautiful than you

The Earth is always spinning (Just is) There’s no way to change it (Accept) It’s beginning to make sense It’s beginning to make sense Something good is coming (Have faith) Don’t fear, you can survive the weight I don’t know where I’m going (I just hope you’re there) I don’t know where I’m going So I’ll sit here with my guitar And write a song About what everyone’s been searching for All along They need a purpose A good reason for why they were born To be their boat On their way back to shore One foot follows the other (On the street) Still feels like I’m floating (In the sea) I don’t know where I’m going (I just hope you’re there) I don’t know where I’m going So I’ll sit here with my guitar And write a song About what everyone’s been searching for All along They need a purpose A good reason for why they were born To be their boat On their way back to shore (Where? Where? Where-oh-where-oh?) (Where? Where? Where-oh-where-oh?) (Where? Where? Where-oh-where-oh?) (Where? Where? Where-oh-where-oh?) Where is the lighthouse? Would have thought we’d find it by now Where is the lighthouse? Don’t stop paddling Keep an eye out “Don’t worry, be happy” I’m afraid it won’t be that easy What we need is a whole new perspective To pry the lid off of this secret That God’s been holding hostage Right in front of our faces So I’ll stand here with my guitar And sing a song About what everyone’s been searching for All along They need a purpose A good reason for why they were born To be their boat On their way back to shore To be their boat On their way back, their way back To be their boat On their way back, their way back
