III

Lying here in wait on my deathbed Open air still fills my lungs Not proud of everything I've done But at least you know I did it well (Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope) Can't step on either side I'm a hollow man but you still know who I am I'm not going down until I get there Break my back cause this is all I know Still living life out on the edge Still moving on the narrow path For every dream I threw away on a dirt road I've been dying way too long I looked fate in the eye, kissed her good-bye And I keep moving on This mission ride is where I found my life Say what you will, make no mistake It's time we put up a fight A hollow man but you still know who I am

I'm still waiting for smoke to clear from this funeral fire My ears are ringing, forced into what it means to be alive Revenge is pounding, I feel it cold in my veins You're gone but not forgotten Familiars laid out on their backs Parts of the whole are missing But the black sheep left keeps it complete (Will the twilight come as darkness Creeps across the southern sky?) Let it come down (tonight) Don't count me out, this will not die Heavenly Father's wrath and Hell is in my eyes Rain down these shadows and regrets Hear Angels singing while the Devil sits and smiles Don't count me out, this will not die Keep things right on course and leave no loose end untied Tried to speak through your final breath, your final sighs Just to tell you I can do this my weakness ain't my pride Revenge is pounding, I feel it cold in my veins You're gone but not forgotten Now here I stand in front of you with a crooked heart, broken and unglued I've got a new thing I wrote it down in Alabama clav A swan song for the rest of us

Oh, it's you again Your angel feathers and your bloodstains I can disregard these flighty notions and your silly grin This time what I stitch is mine And what I mend is just a hand hold Take notice it's the last time A better company than being alone Look what you're faced to find You're gonna get it in your own sweet time There's no easy way you make mistakes And pay that's just the way it's done It's just a shock, I know you will feel it When it falls, when it comes down It comes down, it makes you hollow You might not wanna be around It's just the way things are Oh, it's here again Shovel under the tight rope It's not where the worries begin But how you learn to leave it alone No, it's not where the worries began When it falls, when it comes down It comes down, it makes you hollow You might not wanna be around It's just the way things are When it shines, when it shines down It shines down into the shadows Everything lost gets found It's enough to show you who you are Stop thinking about something That's nothing like the way things are Truth has a motive Regardless of what you want When it falls, when it comes down It comes down, it makes you hollow You might not wanna be around It's just the way things are When it shines, when it shines down It shines down into the shadows Everything lost gets found It's enough to show you who you are

I'm left standing alone The last killer in the killing field You said goodbye through gunshot fire I'm still left here breathing Sold on surviving but what's the cost? You had your one shot and you took them all "Woah"... Hear the last train coming Roll the dice and spin the wheel Hanging by a thread but at least I'm holding on "Woah"... Full moon rising Last dime in the wishing well Fighting for my life because it's all that I have left It's a resurrection Siphon your blood straight from the ground Vaccinated with the lead of a thousand rounds Hell hath no fury? Well, it does now! Once I was lost but now I'm found

Too long and too little Tell me when you gonna bring it on Small fights and big stages Never terrified enough to run It's here and I can hear it I can see it like a setting sun This feeling, I can take it I take it in and then I move along All lined up and built for pressure (Step up, I'm on it) Say your peace like it's the end (Stand back, we're movin') Low down or in the middle Ain't enough to make me satisfied It's all, all or nothing Always starting on the highest high You asked, so now you take it I'll be gone before you hit your knees Some things sting forever Even if you never really bleed All lined up and built for pressure (Step up, I'm on it) Say your peace like it's the end (Stand back, we're movin') One more push and this is over (Stand down, you're done) Hallelujah, brother, come on in (Amen!) All lined up and built for pressure (Step up, I'm on it) Say your peace like it's the end (Stand back, we're movin') One more push and this is over (Stand down, you're done) Hallelujah, brother, come on in (Amen!)

It's been a while and a million miles Since I've seen the sun shine on your face A long time coming, but now I'm running back home The southern pines and the neon signs And every back road between the two Out of sight don't mean out of mind to me Carry on this way I'm singing to you from somewhere tonight Am I getting through? Is it getting through? I choke on every word And it never comes out right This would be so much easier standing right next to you I didn't know what I was looking for But I found it when I took your hand That cheshire smile still cuts me down to the bone Preacher says, "it's for rich or poor" We see a lot of the latter of two I've been gone so long I'm afraid I might be losing you Carry on this way I'm singing to you from somewhere tonight Am I getting through? Is it getting through? I choke on every word And it never comes out right This would be so much easier standing right next to you

What's the cost to pay the piper? Every note don't come for free Too busy dancing with the devil Now it's time to pay the fee Every good intention laid to waste I've lost control Out to make memories, not burn myself alive Fire breathing caught my eye I can't stop thinking about it Until it's time to cross that line Back to the days where we still say grace And a man's words all he has Way down south where they know my name Homecoming Headed back to the old iron hills To the heart of dixieland I'll heal my wounds back in Birmingham Keep staring that gift horse in the mouth He's smiling back at me For everything I take for granted There's one thing left for me Spent my life chasing my dreams Now that I've caught them Was it as good as I thought it'd be?

I'm the first man up to tow the line Shot down. Light up whiskey bottles of turpentine Written out a eulogy for anyone who tries to cross my path I fill the ranks of saints and sinners, the futures and the aftermaths Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start I'm the poison in the well I'm the fruit rotting on the vine You still don't believe me? Out of many will come one Let the gates of hell swing wide for me Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start It's a new religion come get in line Hellhounds are barking and they're close behind A promise land awaits this odd man out and it's all mine You just lead and I will follow Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start

We have all been cursed by the dark horse Second chances few and far between There's no halo hanging up above me The ministry is equal to the disease (Let's go down into the water) Hear the choir on the shoreline sing (The Mississippi ain't the river Jordan) It won't wash me clean Harvest moon hanging in the night sky Medicine is flowing through my veins (Take that anyway you want to) I would consider it some sage advice (There's a devil sitting on my shoulder) He's speaking to me tonight There is a struggle inside me, salvation keeps pulling me I go back and forth and back again A thousand pills won't cure my bad luck I think this is who I was born to be Another day standing at the crossroads The holy ghost creeping up on me (Let's go down into the water) Hear the choir on the shoreline sing (The Mississippi ain't the river Jordan) It won't wash me clean There is a struggle inside me, salvation keeps pulling me I go back and forth and back again (There's a revelation when you come undone and your Whole world comes unwound) I'm unwound it keeps coming (Every shadow comes from the sun) So let the sun shine down upon me Salvation keeps pulling me I go back and forth and back again Let the circle be unbroken swing low sweet chariot Stuck in this broken life trying to be divine in the eyes of God

Oh Death, has my time come? You took my kind, left me behind, please take me home I'm done with this old life please take me home My lonely grave calls out to me Heaven or Hell to call my own I'm coming home Who cheated Death cause death cheated me? You stare into the face of God while man just stares at me Lord strike me down! This accident of surviving, you see me as a failure I feel you looking down Sing to my maker somewhere... A bullet bears my name, come and take me now For every shot that rang out not one was your sound Not entitled to what you felt owed to you Condemned to see another sun Matriarch abandoned Commend her spirit to your hallowed ground The light of understanding The silence when you're not around Holy Father I pray You wrap my brothers in your warm embrace When my time comes I won't go quiet Even in death I'm second place
