Be just have to set yourself free everybody tried to warn me when I got into town been tryin gto keep my distance You been hanging with the hounds So I had to take a look I got a little closer- it was clear they sunk the hook When you lie down with the leagues of these Your just like a dog You wake up with fleas If you could see what I see and all that you could be Just have to set yourself free I remember back when you were itching to scratching You weren't quiet on the ups, begging someone to cash in Back then you were a junkie, just looking for your fix And now look at you You fell for mediocre tricks When you lie down with the least of these you're just like a dog You wake up with fleas If you could see what I see and all that you could be Just have to set yourself free Now I see you itching and scratcing once again I guess the fleas have sucked you dry and I can see it's wearing thin When you lie down with the least of these, you're just like a dog You wake up. with fleas My purpose redetermined Gone before I could decide Never ever since him.

Federal agents never see another day. A handful of survivors no retribution. Women and children huddled around praying it somehow ends in peace clutching their loved ones as they burn to the ground all of this, for a press release The hottest day of the month, in April of '93 Innocent people. in central Texas murder in the first degree Murder in the first degree.

You charmed me I was drawn to you All the pain in your eyes baby had me blind to all the signs I tried to justify all the ways you knocked me down Cause I know you really needed me around Things ain't adding up but you have my trust Don't wanna cause a fight but your story ain't sitting right I'm wondering why. Why, why, why? I thought that we could try. to take the easy route Your inability for empathy just solidified my doubts, I thought the truth would set us free But in reality, it just disturbed the peace Things ain't adding up Now you've lost my trust Don't act so surprised Cause I tried to keep it civilized I'm seeing all your lies, lies, lies, lies All you do is lie All you do is lie, lie, lie, lie It's always whatever suits you So selfish and senseless babe The way you do the things you do I see all your colors now And I know I gotta go somehow Things ain't adding up and Now I've had enough Go on and pack your bags and hit that concrete slab Cause all you do is lie, lie, lie, lie Thank you.

An oath to protect has called him from his home A vicious journey with battles unforetold for ten long years he roamed the great blue sea Favored by the gods, he embarked on his odyssey Like a thief in the night, he raided wherever he roamed A myriad of warriors, yet he still stands alone He's sailing on to refuge on the island of the sun His hubris birthed immortal wrath, He's left with an army of none He heard a song whispered on the wind and sea And he swore each night she'd rarrange the galaxies As they sink deep down into the depths unseen She sings her siren song, just a lonely sailor's dream Arriving home on the wind of her immortal song The battle for his lover has only just begun The victory lies in the mystery of the unknown One arrow through the axes with a bow no man before had strung He heard a song whispered on the wind and sea And he swore each night she'd rearrange the galaxies As they sink deep down into the depths unseen She sings her siren song, just a lonely sailor's dream She sings her siren song, just a lonley sailor's dream Thank you. Forgiveness is a river sometimes damned by the giver stagnant water like a chain you to deep pain. It's not always you Some loser out of view We've all been the adversary here. And we've all got bags to carry Baby I comb the water Nevermind the undertow resentment is a stone that pulls you down to the unknown to live in harmony. Clinging to the goodness sea standard. Stagnate water like a chain Needed you to dig the pain freedom will. Be delivered. Forgiveness is a river Baby I comb the water Nevermind the undertow Wu-oh! Baby!

Cool water Hey hey, cool water Baby, cool water Baby, cool water Wu-oh! Ah cool water! We're all products of how we were raised Some of us poor in more than one way Poor in affection the innate connection There's no one to blame It's how we were raised How can you give when you never found out never gonna see without any doubt how can you show what you've never been shown? building a path that isn't your own generational greed passed on and on and on Way to get close To a heart so withdrawn respect is deflected and failure projected There's no one to blame it's how we were raised How can you give when you never found out Want to plant seeds without any clouds How can you show what you've never been shown Living a path that isn't your own Spent 27 years trying to meet expectations all that I've learned is a messed up foundation crippled with doubt the odd man out There's no one to blame just how we were raised How can you give when you never found out Farmer planting seeds without any plow How can you show what you've never been shown living a path that ins't your own How can you give when you never found out Farmer planting seeds without any plow How can you show what you've never been shown Living a life that isn't your own thank you In the days of yesteryear We were frozen in fear And the night shall appear The warmth drew us near A trail of ashes behind and still missed the signs Flaming embers that burn Still I hoped we could learn Do you ever feel regret? Does the heat make you sweat Bridges burned and the smoke has cleared I regret your fears Wide awake in the dark the cold engulfing your heart pieces only to blame fanning your flame and do you ever feel regret does the heat make you sweat Bridges burned and the smoke has cleared nothing left but fear Thank you. Thanks. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks for joining us tonight. We really appreciate it. Thank you.
