The Chariot
Album • 2010
Barely only breathing My differences My fight comes into the light And to the shadows That cannot exist Without a light Please refer to the end of the page Stay with us Standing alone Come with us Stay is a lonely ghost Break into death Shake my heart in your hands Fake, this relationship burns Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are Disappointed, I know you are

She raises up her voice She raises up her voice To the public she will speak She makes her way to stardom May the warning on your head Be a chain unto your neck Don't give in, don't give in "Come along with us," they say "Let's lie in wait for someone" "Let's waylay on their soul" "Let's swallow them alive" To the bottomless pit they wait, they take And everything they can bleed dry And they fill up their house with waste So don't stay and make believe that they are home So don't stay and make believe that they are home Don't go along Don't beg for blood Don't set your feet Don't beg to bleed Don't go along Don't beg for blood Don't set your feet Don't beg to bleed These men lay and wait For their own blood to rise up (Don't set the trap for everyone to see it) These men waylay on themselves Beast, I never sang along To the beast, they shake inside their blood We pass the storm (Don't go) Refrain for, for I never knew your name From a whisper she raises her voice to me Unsung

Make no mistakes My voice is clear And though it may be a subtle threat: Mayflower, swing low Because your love has such few regrets We cannot distinguish all of the world So celebrate And sing along It is a gift Where I belong Straight down And to the east I place my hands out in front of me (We are all the crowd) To the sweet by and by I come (To the sweet by and by I come) To the crowd be blessed I swear I won't let you choke You give me nothing but rest And a loving hand I belong to the war I belong to your side And I can't hold my breath but I swear that I think it's a start That's the nature of the beast (Celebrate) If we have nothing left but death (Make no mistake) It's a clear but subtle threat (Celebrate) "The south is where I lay my sword (Make no mistake) And the stage is where my heart will rest" We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the crowd We are the- Whether for a lifetime, or just a day- -crowd -Atlanta, Atlanta That's my home town!

This is only the start You're only opening the book You're only on the first line of What's gonna take a little while (What's gonna take a little while) I hope you don't hold your breath While they revolt like a choir They say the language is dead Well, then why do we speak? Why do we speak? Why? I hope you understand my brain is fixed My brain is fixed (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt Enough is enough Because we cannot be late Basically, you've been defined as "unworthy of love" And I confess, and I confess that I had placed in my heart The same address, and I paint with my words "You're free, don't fear, this is just a revolt" This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt (Into the next town) This is only a revolt Enough is enough Because we cannot be late Calm rose: Violent wind The only "surrender" tonight shall not be our own Well, they cannot escape One if by land, two if by sea Because I saved my money, but it can't save me And maybe there's blood from the past but it's not from me Oh, they can take away one man, they can take away his might But they cannot take us all, no, they can't dig a hole the right size To fit all of our dreams No, they can't bury me, they can't bury me, oh We can't hope that somebody else take our place No, we can't hope that somebody else take our place The history book's written with all of our names Be it blood, be it ink, oh, but at least we were free This is only but a fraction of what I've got to say But it must be said, it must be said And if I leave this earth tonight, may it be said That I spoke my piece, yeah, I spoke with the wrath of His grace Calm rose: Come violent wind Oh, we stand hand in hand but we walk without fear And this is a revolution Ohhhhhh, oh oh ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhh Ohhhhhh, oh oh ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhh Ohhhhhh, oh oh ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhh Ohhhhhh, oh oh ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhh Ohhhhhh, oh oh ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhh

In feathers we came We learned from your ways And the tricks up your sleeve And we grew But the distance between The earth and our feet Was the only thing Never to change But it opened our eyes Something they missed Something they put away back on the shelf And they can't see it through the immaculate dress Sink like a stranger instead of the one they call home We can't believe in everything we hear Diamonds by association don't count And I'm not saying we've got it all figured out (What good is just one wing?) Why accept silver when you're given gold (What good is just one wing?) Stuck in your ways Tossed about by the sea Waving around your gun That you'll never shoot Waste not life's grace (What good is just one wing?) And don't assume that we are all the same (What good is just one wing?) Stand up turn and draw I am not them, we are not them, they are not us And we don't relate We are as much the same as lungs to the sea Please don't confuse the heart, behind the name Putting their voices on top of the crowd So that everyone hears they are mighty and great Maybe I'm broken and maybe I'm shaking But at least I say what I say And I confess We grew bored from your ways We grew bored from your ways We grew bored from your ways We grew bored from your ways We grew bored from your ways We-We want more More, more We want more More, more We can't step away From the ocean Just because the waves are thick Oh we press

Wretched faces Wretched faces This is nothing new to me But still Enraptured Don't keep grabbing the wind This is a loaded gun This is a loaded question When can you stop? When is perfection? Maybe I'm already the one out (Consolidate all your fears) I can't take it, nothing sacred This is of course as told from the knife (This is not my voice, this is not my voice This is not my voice, this is not my) You painted your eyes To make them wide again I tip my hat to the great To the classics (This is not my face) This is this week's fear (This is not my voice) They tell you to speak: the hesitation (This is not my fate) They can't take it, take it away (take it away) (This is not mine anymore) Take hold (bring it all back down) To the first love (This is not my fate) All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain

You bet we fight till pressed against six feet Of distance and earth Yeah, we make mistakes that our fathers have made And my troubles come up from the earth My teeth, grit, fierce And I beg to you, understand, Grace is my name Tongues run amok and Fangs will breed on fangs So keep your secrets in the mattress And pray they don't escape This impossible act of building our bridges Much faster than they burn Stay 'Cause I can't afford distance It's shadowing my heart And what good is a sinner If we haven't got grace (Save the son) My troubles boulevard across the land (Save the son) They keep their secrets in the mattress (Save the son) Discard (Save the son) I'm trying to keep it in the right hands Medic, medic, medic I have given up all my weapons and I've headed home Well, I can see the words inside your silence But I can't speak about your pain for you How long can you burn for anyways Turning over and back again with tongues ablaze Like, like lions without teeth hungry Staring at the forest with flames in our eyes Just talking with the trees If we can drift long enough, we'll be home Sails blown by the fire within, pushing me to you And you can live inside of me Sewn together Breaking and healing Growing and breaking again and again And you are a part of me You are my home, and I'm your home But I'm no place you'll want to be So I'm out here again, sparks hid behind my teeth I won't say a word for fear of failure spreading It takes some of us longer to get to our dead ends We have old blood stained with loose living Ran through charcoal hearts to make it red And we can be on fire again, you and I You want this? Well, say what you want, say what you mean We can talk lung to closed ear Head inside of hand, turning over again together Cut up for the cheap heat running through our veins And we can lay brick by broken brick, our ashes pushed in between And build this road back home to where we want to be We are not our own; we are the same Let fangs give birth to fangs, but I can't walk away Let them breed Fangs give birth to fangs, but I can't walk away Let them breed

Well, if dancing is a revolution Grab the kids Grab the neighbors alike If I had a gun for every time we spoke I could arm the whole world And take it for ransom Dare not would you ask of me We cannot delete it Just because of the trend Tossed about by the waves of the sea We cannot delete it Just because of the fight that is here When we say it, we mean it Cannot delete it We are not here 'Cause coat tails rain but before the love Cannot delete it Just because of the truth that reigns with snakes inside

Well there is nothing else that we can lose I put heart upon my sleeve tonight And I know everything that changes soon And I can see it in your eyes And you won't be here for very long If no one hears you, will you still want to sing? And if the harmonies disappear? They can't take our place 'Cause I believe, I believe, I believe That she is different than you and I And she can see things that we can't see She's alone in this modern life Yea my voice is forever changed But the notes are still the same How long till you want to see? I think we want it out of reach And if it's something that will never come back Well I told you not to run from me 'Cause it's a man made thought with a God-like hook And we know we'll never have to go down So praises to the war machine And the distance is growing thin And the hopelessness of a tiny earth and make shift hit Rock 'Cause I watched as she walked away I knew the moment that she turned her back She could never be the same again And she is never coming back I knew the moment that she walked away I knew the moment that she walked away I knew the moment that she walked away I knew the moment that she walked away I saw the moment that she walked away In the land of a thousand fathers She was born on the Fourth of July Well that don't mean she was made in America She was gone in the blink of an eye She belongs but she acts like a stranger She collapsed but she ain't free I am my only devil 'Cause they'll believe what they want to believe

Dark days Dark days come Take chance escape Wretched Man, I've been so bad Dark days come But they have something real Violent justice I'll be honest in a bit We only fit in the love of faith We've sung Your wrath The distance is big You last But not ever again We've sung Your wrath Distance is big You last But nothing will end Never, never, never, never Never, never, never, never Holy prophet Please let all of us in No peace I've sent out to rest in the bay Maybe it's not as clear as you think Feeding the words Feeding the words that they want It's time, it's time We cannot escape And dark days have come And you're not awake My God, holy My stomach empty, yea Holy, my soul Dark days, dark days This is the Our love is nothing without My heart, your lips Shake in our boots This language is dead (This language is dead) This language is dead (This language is dead) This language, dead (This language is dead)
