Dead River Road

It was a long time coming
and a dark road home
She turned out the lights
Didn't need him anymore
So he stood outside
in the desolate cold
Picture frames strew about
left for him to hold...
You see he loved the girl
and her little boy too
But there's just some things
you know he couldn't do
So he took a drive
down Dead River Road
Turned the ignition off
on his 55' Olds
and he prayed...and he prayed...
Oh God, please don't let it be this way
There's so much more that I can change
Oh God, please don't let it end this way
On the doorstep of St. Charles Place
She says she's better off
now he's gone
The words she spoke still
ringing strong
To him it all feels
just like a blur
yet he can't breakaway
from the ghost of her.

Puppet

I'd given you my blood, my love and my tears
You swore forever, with me the rest of our years
But there's still blood in my veins, a heart in my chest
You left me broken, scattered and emotionless.
I guess I was just born to be throw away
A mistake, a failure, a puppet on a string
3:30am on a Thursday morn,
My bones tear through my skin I weep all alone
Haunted by the memories of both of our sins
I promised you forever, and ever, 'til the end
I guess I was just born to be thrown away
A disgrace, failure a puppet on a string...
I ain't no puppet, I'm a man
Abused, and tortured, misused, but here I stand
I ain't no villian, and I ain't no saint
I ain't no puppet on a string

Thief
03:19
|

|
Steam keeps on rising
The fires burn bright
Wolves on the hunt again
Under cover of night
So beware my children, of the thief on the run
Tangled and woven
Such a twisted web he spun
The glitter and the glitz
all forged from heretics
So I warn you my children, of the thief on the run
Been given a number...
Been given a name
he is your enemy

Awake
03:28
|

|
Lie awake as my earth breaks
I feel like I'm on the road to nowhere
Counted out, I've been beaten down
Left bloodied and bruised,
Been so used by religion
I wanna know(3x) right now
Have you ever felt cold or jaded
I wanna know(3x) right now
Have you ever been all but forsaken
Never...never again
You run the race of the everyday
Just to get a taste of what it means to be happy
Fell asleep with a fear to dream
To dream of a day where you could truly feel happy
I wanna know(3x) right now
Have you ever felt cold or jaded
I wanna know(3x) right now
Have you ever been all but forsaken
I wanna know, I need to know
Have you heard the name of my savior
I wanna know(3x) right now
Have you ever felt all but forsaken
Never...never again
