Out, of faith, my hope With, my, gun The difference Your the god send, that picked me up again The difference We got a big past, still you brought me to the edge Now, when, you broke it down like that I guess I don’t have, don’t have no room, no respect How can you leave when there’s some much to see? Your Home, but ya got go Held back my horse, Cooled off my jets It is what it is, Got no time to react I’m all motivation no hesitation But I’m helpless in this tethered act Bygones are freeing, but I can’t concede, to let you out with open arms Just open the vault, that’s been emptied so long, and wander lost rituals The difference My good friend, You took me to the edge The difference Where’s the good friend, That picked me up again Moonlight, Ritual Moonlight, Ritual Held back my horse and cooled off my jets It is what it is, Got no time to react I’m all motivation, No hesitation But I’m helpless in this tethered act

I think today might be the day Said I, I think today might be the day we come to it Only for a moment, Only for the fortunate Hostages, I’m captive in, shoes I’ve come to need Hostages, I’m captive in, the longest march and no one’s here to lead He didn’t know the lights had changed And he didn’t know the world was dead All along, what’s it for, and why do we care? No he didn’t know his friends were gone Time-trapped in the longest march All alone, what’s it for, he didn’t know, he’d soon be gone I’d say, I’d say today might be the day we bury it I’d say today might be the day we try and bury it Hostages, I’m captive in, shoes I’ve come to need Hostages, I’m captive in, the longest march and no one wants to lead All along, what’s it for, he didn’t know and he’d soon be gone All alone, what’s it for, he didn’t know and he’d soon be gone I think today might be the day I think today might be the day
