| Lanterns |
| Cotton fields all under water, down south where the river flows 50 dead with no tomorrow, I've got no place to call my home Delta blacks all on the levy, you need a tag to walk the road No tents for the children I hope the Lord will save my soul Lanterns down on the levy tonight fathers promise wont provide national guard is on the line Greensville won't survive Vicksburg wont supply us red cross can't unload No pay for the labor Shot dead at his home Lanterns down on the levy tonight fathers promise wont provide national guard is on the line Greensville won't survive twenty seven we won't forget you dead animals what a stench you promised cotton at 50 cents Chicago train is free at last Lanterns down on the levy tonight fathers promise wont provide national guard is on the line Greensville won't survive |
1888
| For the brotherhood he kills tonight So tomorrow they might see the light In the dark he rules the night Streets of London aren't safe tonight Black cape and a knife Waiting for victims in white Mary Ann the first to go On Friday night her blood will flow Driver at hand to find the way To the alley where the shadows play Horses breath carries him To his victims 1888 London won't forget Streets are full of fear Seen it through his eyes First or last in line They all must die They all must die Mary Jane the last to go Fifth in line with all the hoes To hide the secret they all must die Scotland Yard will never find Horses breath carries him To his next victim |

| Walking through this life I made my choice in life Thought it couldn't change me Thought I didn't know You wouldn't know Both of us were lying But now I know Now I know different Taking my life Changing my life this way Walking down that road Watch the winding road Leading to a dead end Working night and day Sweating life away Trying to make a living But now I know Now I know different Taking my life Changing my life this way Walking through this life I made my choice in life Thought it couldn't change me But I got to be strong For myself I'll be strong And I'll make it through this But now I know Now I know different Taking my life Changing my life this way |
| Life (live) |
| So you wanna try to fix me Think you're gonna be the who saves me Self destruction, I am My own worst enemy Burning bridges before I've had them built Asking myself how to live with the guilt My vision as been so clouded My memory isn't any different I'm so shameless I'm so senseless I never meant to be a thorn in your side A hypocrite A pessimist I wish this life would just pass me by I've been silently screaming Why do you chose not to see it If ignorance is bliss you Must be happy as fuck I'm trying to escape it But this time I've ran out of luck My mind and heart have been so tired But my body won't let me rest I'm so shameless I'm so senseless I never meant to be a thorn in your side A hypocrite A pessimist I wish this life would just pass me by My head's been in a hole With my thoughts six feet under I've really dug myself deep this time With no way out |
| Pass Me By (live) |
| Have you ever been at war with yourself Your mind won't let you win You fight the same fight Day after day Night after night You fight those battles all alone You feel like you have no control over What's going to come next and you feel like Such a wreck There's no way out No where to hide Where do you go when you try to hide from yourself? It's so hard when you don't know what to do You beat yourself till you're black and blue Sleepless nights you brought upon yourself The nightmares that don't make it any easier At war One on one It's you against yourself No one to turn to This time you're on your own No one to hold your hand This time you're on your own You've tried to fight off your demons But as time flies by You stay the same Keep telling yourself those lies You know its never gonna change Never gonna change |
