a descending climb
my feet can't make the hill
to the top where your house hides
tomorrow she comes
the one who i've sworn and broke read more »

Wondering outside Where do you go?
With your eyes in sight Who do you see?
You're in my life How do you feel?
But you don't know me Where could you be?
Where do you go? read more »

Take the mask off show the fiend
Take the mask off show the fiend
Vows of loyalty fertile the promise
Catch the glimmer follow spinning wheels
Quick easy painless tongues split in two read more »

Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
Cleaning up the mess
Trying to be honest
Cause I know I am on it read more »

You pushed me down
For all the world to see
I guess that’s your price
For my loyalty
So while you tasting sin read more »

Passed the door of death
Hereafter place to be
Fortified with the rites
Clerical loyalty

Final means of grace
Time has taken your life away
Cadaverous corporal constitution
Future lies in decay read more »

We got a new groove on this scene
And nobody's gonna stop me from livin out my dreams
I hear your talkin shit about a punching bag
But who was around when you first busted a sag
I hear you're kicking down with your ska shit, watch it!
It might be some trendy ass bullshit
I guess I hear where you're coming from
But you didn't need to talk all that shit son
Who always stuck his neck out for you
And who always had your back for you
Keep talking your shit
Brother man I ain't got no regrets
We used to ride side by side
Two intellectuals with nothing to hide
Together we lost our powder virginity
I never thought I had to question your genuinity
Could my eyes lie, could this be true
Like Caesar to Brutus "Et Tu? Et Tu?"
We used to sit and laugh about the lost ones
But you're a part of their plastic world
Who always stuck his neck out for you
And who always had your back for you
Made time to hear your point of view
But all that just went to shit man
Not an hour goes by that I don’t think about the day
When I lost my faith in loyalty, friendship dissolved away
February 14th, the day of ole amore
I never realized what you had in store
Receiver on my ear, the memory's so clear
Insanity knocking at my door, I knew the edge was near
Oh no, don't get me wrong you're not the only one to blame
I'll never forgive and for this I feel no shame
But tell me one thing when you were giving me love advice
Did you have this planned out and why do I pay this price
I hear around the vine you think I'm thinking of myself
Did it cross your mind back stabbing someone else
You got an OK heart, crooked smiles none the less
Loyalty you couldn't live up to test
When it comes to friendship here's a golden rule
Don't jump your friends' girl when he goes away to school
Keep talking your shit
Your insults won't phase me a bit
Keep talking your shit
Brother man I ain't got no regrets
Keep talking your shit
How does that look from where you sit
The difference between you and I
I know where to stop

Stop, I know why you're running
Wait, I know what you're saying
We've been spinning around in circles going nowhere
Simple, if that's how you hide it
Complex, if that's how you see it
Just depends on where you stand and what you've walked through
Give me all your tired and angry
If the whole world is my enemy, I feel no remorse
Let anyone step, I'll match them eye to eye of course
Go, if you're staying to please me
Stand off; don't threaten to leave me
I wouldn't want to stay where I didn't feel welcome
I speak but you're not listening
Shout do you know what you're missing
Imagine where we'd be if you weren't so defensive
I chased it, I faced it, I couldn't erase it
The freedom I tasted, I couldn't replace it
I never questioned your suggestions
But your every action is my detection
Of your hesitation or lack of patience
To feel the elation, from your own creation
You won't offend me by staying behind
But how I unwind, is how I unwind
Loyalty coated honesty, half the time seems right to me
You want the truth could you have slept if you'd have known it
Loyalty coated honesty, at the time seemed right to me
Oh, was I wrong, I'd have left if I'd have known it

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
And more that shines in the night than just the moon
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
Stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
So if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

And there's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes for the allegence
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

So if I stand let me stand on the promise You will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for home read more »
