Les paroles


1. TRUST (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

If you saw the ghosts I see
When I sleep you’d leave too
Yeah you’d claw your way out
You’d grow fangs
You’d bite, you’d rip
You’d tear your way gone
Been too long
There’s no warmth
Feel no pulse
There’s nothing left for me here
So let me go
Let me go

If you saw
What I’ve seen
You’d know what I mean
If you believe in more
Then baby believe me
More is real, you aint crazy
Don’t sleep on that dream

This can’t go on

I felt it well up
The wrath in my blood
Been a ghost of a friend, brother, son
Watched her go
The only girl that I’ve ever loved
Heard the call, gave it all
Now you’re telling me
I gotta wait here
Yeah there’s nothing left for me here
So let me go

This can’t go on


2. AWE AT ALL ANGLES (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

I am not adornments
Joined on new walls
I am torn muscle
I am budding bruise
The good pain
While the deeper hurt
Are these truths
I am not a bridge
No I am not two ends
Not two ends that meet to make one

I am white water
I am awe at all angles

oh, I am not held hands
I’m not making plans
No, I’m not your man
I’m a goddamn conduit
Girl, I’m piss and vinegar

I am white water
I am awe at all angles
Awe at all angles

Courting over dinner
And a bottle of wine
I said “You look real pretty
And your haircut’s nice”
For christ’s sake
This is not living
It's killing time
My body’s in the cage
But I’m in the sky


3. SIX OF SWORDS (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

If I defile everything she touched
Oh sweet Mercy, would that be enough?
Piss on ground left holy
Spit and bile hold me up
This is no way to live
I could cut
But it wouldn't do a goddamn thing

With how Time defiles
All my open cuts
Foe turned Mercy
To swallow you up
Though it may erode me
It'll wash away your memory
In a flood of violent grief
I need but keep my head above
To survive and live free

I've been digging in the same cuts
Sifting through the same blood
Just dying to bleed
I've been hissing with a vile tongue
Blowing out these wild lungs
Just trying to breathe

Made my way fighting high waves
And ever have I endured
Earned my spurs in tides turned
And ever daring True North
Six swords no longer needed
Throw them overboard
Tribute turbulent seas
With eyes on the shore


4. FAST AS YOU CAN (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

Originally performed by Fiona Apple

I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
O darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy
You won't go
But I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby
Run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases
That will disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart
From under your skin
Fast as you can, baby
Scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby
Scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind, complain and blame the sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
I'm blooming within
Fast as you can, baby
Wait, watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me
Let this thing run its route
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can


5. MOTIONLESS IN SKY (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

First sworn miles
Met with oaths to more yet
Forever named, each step
Introduces the next
And how nothing is
That is not both
Kiss and maim
Reap and sow
This began long before I’d known

I killed what I called home
To make damn clear
That I was worth my words
And that they are something living
Not just scratches on page
Not just promises made
They are the beast that I ride

Number of times
I tried to tell them
Number of times
I saw the fear in their eyes
Number of times
I swore before great sights
The heights I’d climb
Number of times
I washed my hands
Of that evil
Number of times
I’ve said this all before

Old blood in new veins
Its sick if it stays
Where it no longer lives
Oh, how it fights to not die
But it did and so it needs to
Motionless in sky
Emotionless, it hides
And I ain't gonna die like that


6. MUSKETEERS (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

Sheep and cattle
Tamed and saddled
But I’m
Saving all my white-picket plans for the road
Got soul, got bite
Baptized in neon lights, yeah
Learned about freedom
From stomping and screaming
Gave my blood and gave my salt
I learned about truth on the electric altar

First he came for our sisters
Then he came for our brothers
Then we told him
Not today, motherfucker
We got your number

Now I’m raising this soapbox against a stiff right hand
Never gonna fall in line with the “great” white man
Small hands, small crowds
Bring him down, bring him down, bring him down, bring him down
Kick out the clown

First he came for our sisters
Then he came for our brothers
Then we told him
Not today, motherfucker
We got your number

Never hide behind the way I was born
One for all and all for one, yeah

First they came for our sisters
Then they came for our brothers
Then we told ‘em
Not today, motherfucker
We got your number

Never hide behind the way I was born
One for all and all for one
Never hide behind the way I was born
One for all and all for one


7. THROUGH ASH (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

(The Man speaks)
The burning lumber spits embers
As if to say
Let’s get out of this fucking pit
Pining for the surprise
Of pale giants miles off
The quiet churn of flame
A sound somewhere between
A whisper and a distant roar

I’ve always wanted that warmth
But if that’s the cost
Love, forgive me for saying this
But I’ll pay it
Please don’t ask me to
Because I will

(The Fire speaks)
Feed me your wounds
Feed me your past
And I shall burn this cage
That ye may stand
Leave it all behind

(The Man speaks)
I obliged
In the blaze
I found my tears
But The Fire dried
Them up and warmed my heart
In that moment I was my name
The Fire spoke: I need you my witness
Showed me a joyous ocean
And how I am to lift it
Said “Chin up. Don’t quit, kid”
Then we laughed in rhythm
The going gets tough

Lay my fear in a bed of broken chains
Sing Victory by day
Then night falls
To a bed of knives
I crawl
And I let the demons hurt me

But I tell them

Feed me your wounds
Feed me your past
And I shall burn this cage
That we may stand

In the purr and crackling
I heard The Blaze
Speak my name
And It spoke my words
As It said
“Leave it all behind”


8. CHANGES (LIVE ACOUSTIC)

Originally performed by Black Sabbath

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
