it's just snakes & ladders. pythons & adders. & some old elevation too. rising up just to break us down no longer gonna be a clown. well hubble bubble boil & trouble shave off stubble & burst this bubble. this damn spot it won't come clean scream out loud if you know what i mean. the brothers heather. they pushed me to the end of my tether. i gotta sever & create my own soul winning force. fish in the water. Gods golden morse. yeah, where the devil hides in other peoples deeds. yet he's inside just waiting to retrieve. it's just snakes & ladders. pythons & adders. & some old elevation too. no friends to help me. some cowardice piss & let me die. im sick of this shit. you make out a fool out of me, im gonna punch you straight back. sedition was started by this kid way back. you better believe it. you better believe it's constant. it's damn right blatant, yeah it's blatant. steal my thunder gonna be your blunder. the devil hides in other peoples deeds & he's inside just waiting to retrieve & when you think it's over he'll be back it aint a lie for some it's damn straight fact rung after rung it's just begun. faiths great defender. tired of biting my tongue been doing it ever since i was young so tired of biting my tongue. it's just snakes & ladders. pythons & adders. & some old elevation too.

stays put in my blood. this itching & this flood. push home & you shove. flying like a dove. become secret agent. this goat boy department. we're travelling sergeants. we're all begging pardons. see love & then die. the tears we all cry. what's it all meaning? adventures of dreaming. see love & then die. the tears we all cry. what's it all meaning? adventures of dreaming. be true to this garden. this mission important. do it for her sake. were bending & we brake. we give & then we take. were feeling the earth shake. sweet heart. it's for our sake. transform in this red lake. see love & then die. the tears we all cry. what's it all meaning? adventures of dreaming. see love & then die. the tears we all cry. what's it all meaning? adventures of dreaming.

the brink 03:44
i think things i don't wanna think im sinking and i don't wanna sink pushed to the brink im pushed to the brink im doing things i don't wanna do who? who? who? who? were sinking to the bottom this weight pulls us down were sinking to the bottom this weight pulls us down well bring this joy back put it in your sights this light burns but at least it's a light who? who? who? who? she heard it all what we had to say it's not her fault that we have to pray this light burns but at least it's a light head down now we've got to fight who? who? who? who? higher higher high who? who? who? who?

i'm singing in the rain just singing in the rain what a glorious feeling i'm happy again i'm laughing at clouds so dark up above the sun is in my heart & i'm ready for love let the stormy clouds chase everyone in this place come on with the rain i've a smile on my face i walk down the lane with a happy refrain just singing just singing in the rain

pirate chin a wide eyed grin commit the sin find a new place to begin they say good things come to those that wait despite denial no way to escape bell is rung we didn't leave a crumb all's not lost don't have to pay the cost anti freeze should we have to say please? damn right we do down on our knees nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away the sweetest girl i ever held the one who's metal i tried to weld the one who answered all my prayers the one who's heart i see that tears if only i could save her soul if only it hadn't taken it's toll if only i could stop & think if only i'd never had a drink we mess it up we mess it up good if only if only i could we walk the path & we fail the task we fall in love when were wearing a mask but grace'll be found it has to be i wanted grace back inside of me what have i done? God knows that i tried i couldn't see it & my brain was fried they ask of me so much & all i needed was a lonely touch sadness. sorrow. don't get to down wear this gift like it's a crown nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away so tired of being all alone is anyone gonna help or am i all alone i can't get anyone to lend me a hand they all think that i couldn't make a stand bandit of time ahead of the game make a difference alleviate the strain she lied through teeth claimed it as truth eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth brandished banter gossips her weapon labelled outlaw dreamt of creation back from the dead believe what was said back from the dead believe what was said nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away nothing i could do to make her stay everything i do pushes her away

step back 03:50
i can't get free from my need to sleep and i can't get free i can't break out from my need to hide no i can't break out this step is taken my life is shaken and i can't step back the step is taken my life is shaken and i can't step back it's my only hope sunlight at night are we alone as we travel on? are we alone? the step is taken my life is shaken and we can't step back no we can't step back

i guess i was running too long and i got no place to go believe it or not i was trying to save it and you were my goal but hell im not where i wanna be and i know you weren't either so either way we've gotta walk on and face the fever i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time just wish i could go back in time well the way you loved me girl it was so sublime but this world had me head out on the road i was having a good time i was trying to win some money so i'd bring it home to you but i guess the stress of the road it favours messed it up with you i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time just wish i could go back in time now in those last moments before i wake i see your face in my dreams i lie awake clutching at something and not all is what it seems and the other night i saw our son he was hiding behind a curtain but when i went to see if he was ok he turned into a demon these things race around my head and i just don't know what to do i've been running oh so long i just wanted to come home to you i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time just wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time i wish i could go back in time
