Left to Lose 04:01
You can leave my things right where there at, yeah nothin' I own is worth turning back. I've got a crazy thirst for where I have not been. I walk a lonesome road that will never end. It'll cost you two coins, to get the boat rowin,' if the darkness outweighs your desire. But the rains gonna' fall and the wind keeps blowin.' Yeah it howls all the time, but once you've been through hell you can walk through the fire. We are nameless to the better half, they will fake a smile and tip a cap. But i've lain with queens and I have dined with rats. Her eyes they tell me that's just that. It'll cost you two coins, to get the boat rowin,' if the darkness outweighs your desire. But the rains gonna' fall and the wind keeps blowin.' Yeah it howls all the time, but once you've been through hell you can walk through the fire.

Cordell 04:18
To live like this beneath these waves Ice cold steel pressed against his tongue and the one faint click held the resonance, with all of his pain in unison. "Now I don't want any second chances," he said. "There's no regaining what has been lost." "He's innocent and it tears me down to see him grow up just like us." To suffer the loss. To carry the cross. I'm coming undone. So keep me out of this line of fire. There's too much trouble here in this little city and every middleman's up for hire. Well the party's almost over and I've been coming down a little while. You gotta' get your hands bloody for the sad kind of funny, to spend so many nights on trial. So you sold your soul to rock n' roll, little darlin' the crossroads isn't quite what you would think. Put the pen to the pad and let the dreams in your head explode through these city streets. To suffer the loss. To carry the cross. I'm coming undone. So keep me out of this line of fire. There's too much trouble here in this little city and every middleman's up for hire. I'm coming undone. So keep me out of this line of fire. There's too much trouble in this little city and every cheap tricks up for hire. Up for hire.

I met a mystic down in Sylva, she whispered in my ear, "bless your soul for seeing me, not many can 'round here." "I see a man who fills your heart with hate still follows you my dear." Did feel loved or unloved? With your head held under water And I always seem to find my way back to town again. soon enough I wind up in some cheap opium den. But I feel stuck so I get drunk, it's just the idea of her I love and a long route to rebuild the broken home. So tell me Judas did you rest easy betraying Jesus Christ? Tucked your silver in your coin purse, turned your head and closed your eyes. Tell me did you beg forgiveness? Let the holy ghost inside? Did you feel loved or unloved? Were your reminded of someone you know, familiar like growin' up? Let the venom hollow out your veins, as it races around your blood. And in the lonely silent wreckage, when your left with just your thoughts, Did you feel loved or unloved? Did you feel loved or unloved? Tell me brother Tell me sister Tell me daughter Tell me son Did you feel loved or unloved?

Flesh blood and bone, stretched over the globe, centuries have come and gone, where do we belong? Same ol' world, kindred flame, brother draw now from my strength whenever you're in pain and I will do the same. Take the hand next to yours, hold it o' so tight, if the arrows tear your flesh, know that they tear through mine, you are never in this alone. Somber sweet, violent and loud, holy totem, bless it is sound, proof of god and the one piece in this place i've found. I know you feel these spirits move, beckoning to sweet romantic fools, thriving on heartache, a thirst for wounds and wounds, by god we have a few. Take the hand next to yours, hold it o' so tight, if the arrows tear your flesh, know that they tear through mine, we are never in this alone. Each mile brings new scars, the juggling act, the trapeze art, watch your step, if we fall our mistakes made us who we are. Death is wild free untamed, love encompassed but never gained, as we transcend to beautiful planes, There's good but goddamn I know you hurt. Take the hand next to yours, hold it o' so tight, if the arrows tear your flesh, know that they tear through mine, we are never in this alone. This alone. This alone.

Are you feelin' better? I hope you can hear this, whether deaf ears or dumb lips. The silence was understood. It's victory through hardship. Broke but never broken. When the cheap seats are golden. When a long shot wins. And they tell you to run in every other direction. But we're not the kind to let the fear call the shots. You've been sufferin' for too long, brother pick up and move on, cause' we're all, we're all tryin' to feel better now. People will let you down. Drive the old ghosts out. So hold on. Faith untouchable. Welcome the new ghosts home, follow your dreams down, down down down. Yea' no surrender. Are you feelin' better? Lost on the interstate, a thousand miles away from your anxious thoughts. Are you feeling stronger? You feel like you belong here, on a road less traveled, liftin' up a curse. They'll tell you to run in every other direction. But we're not the kind to let the fear call the shots. If you've been sufferin' for too long, maybe pick up and move on, cause' we're all, all tryin' to feel better now. People will let you down. To spite them all, hold on. Faith untouchable. lost son prodigal, follow your dreams down, down down down. Yea' no surrender. Yea' we're all, tryin' to feel better now. People will let you down. People don't change. It's my name, took it all with a stiff lip. Hold fast cried the new champ. There's nothin' left to lose. Yea' no surrender.

The shades were drawn, as the birds come calling, as the darkness turns to dawn once again. Let the coffee cup cool where it sits, Man of action and it's time to split. He's got a lust for life and a brand new song and dance. Scarlet lips and a southern draw, she's the poster girl for rock n' roll. When she comes around he loses control, she's got a fire down deep in her soul. She's got a lust for life and a brand new song and dance. So we can take our time. C'mon baby get me high. Until you get yours, i'm not gettin' mine. And now our bodies twist like brushstrokes on fresh canvas. Your hearts run wild, you know I love to make you smile. Wasting the day in a cavalcade of tall cans, as the dock it dances and sways, and the sun hit a wall from this buzz goin' round, so we'll have to be on our way, to find a place uptown to give our feet that ol' time sound. Said hey little girl, sometimes you just need a friend, so don't get caught up in thought, helps arrived just in time. Let's go for a ride, aimless with skin to skin, wreck-less in high demand, ride or die, fight or flight, you know I love to make your smile. Both possessed by the resonance, their bodies went rogue and it showed. You know time stands still when you got something like that, their eyes were locked and they were hand in hand. They got a lust for life and a brand new song and dance. Let's take our time. C'mon baby get me high. Until you get yours, I'm not gettin' mine. And now our bodies twist like brushstrokes on fresh canvas. Your hearts run wild, you know I love to make you smile.

Breathe. Breathe. I am not afraid. Death mask on, beat the drums. Praise the lord for the sinning that I have done. Enter Satan, welcome hatred. Take a good look at what you've created. We breathe. I am not afraid. Centuries past I've weathered this storm. Left for dead but death cannot claim this soul. I've lived many lives, stood right here before. Your bound to find the devil when you fuck around at his door. I am not afraid. I am not afraid to die. I am the mast, the sail, the crashing wave, the fertile womb and unmarked grave. Your mothers blood and savior, your lover and creator, what is and was, the king of storms, the cancer dancing around your lungs. Why should I be afraid? And now you come on bended knee, penance for your Joie de vivre. Darling it's already too little to late. All is lost. And we breathe. We breathe deep. I am not afraid. I am not afraid to die. I am not afraid to die.

Bleached bones along the interstate, skyline whipping past, beat up old Chevy, quick out the gate, silent checks the cops they couldn't cash, nowhere in mind, just killing time. China white, some cigarettes and cheap wine. They called him home, so we must let him go, Charlie what have you done tonight? No lights flash on the ambulance, in the pale of a cold Michigan sky. That good source, he'll come singin' "I'm here to steal your light away," you got brass kid but you can't see that. I'm not so easy to shake, I'm not so easy to shake. The world of flaming arrows will tear flesh from bone to your relief. The hot spoon, she's a loaded gun. It's the kind of love that will bring you to your knees. That good source, he'll come singin' "I'm hear to steal your light away." You got brass kid but you can't see that. I'm not so easy to shake. I'm not so easy to shake. They called him home, so we must let him go, Charlie what have you done tonight? No lights flash on the ambulance, in the pale of a cold Michigan Sky.
