Subterranean Man

The man on the hill
Takes his multicolored pill and flies
You can see him plead lying underneath the tree of life
Sitting on his hands with his high-powered lens he spies
Takes it all in with a stupid little grin of pride
Even though he’s never been right
Waves his wand and then he takes flight
Chorus:
I will hide in a cage (the World outside is a slave)
My cries fall on deaf ears (I’ve heard no reply in years)
I warned you way too many times (sweet insignificant lies)
I will unveil my master plan I’m the subterranean man
The World up above is fighting for the love of fame
They’re worshiping their gods the mighty dollar drives their train
The man in the cave starts to cast his gaze of blame
His periscope is up his vision is impaired by rain
Even though he’s never been right
Waves his wand and then he takes flight
Chorus:
Bridge:
You can dig a hole to China
Never reach the other side
Hey hey, hi hi
The man on the hill takes his multicolored pill and flies

Black Heart
Embrace it like a friend
Kickstart
A lie that never ends
Fools part
Swords cannot defend
Tick Tock
Time can never mend…ah yeah
Say when
You had enough of this
Balled up
Like an Iron Fist
Gold Band
Can make a monster bright
Cold hands
Squeezin out the light
Pre-Chorus:
How did you get this far?
Mirrors are part of the game
How do you live with yourself?
You’re looking for someone to blame
Like smoke to the flame
They’re pouring on the gas
You’ll never be the same
Cuz this black heart got burned again
Chorus
Yeah, Black heart
Yeah,
You’re one of them
Yeah, Black heart
Yeah
Pre-Chorus:
Chorus
I want you to color me in

Lift Me Up

You may say that the river couldn’t rise
But I know it will
Guess you better learn how to swim or die
Better learn to drink your fill
All these prom queens and politicians
You know they’re lurking still
Chorus:
Lift me up
Hold me under, wash me clean and make me new again
Lift me up
Cuz there’s a River Jordan over yonder for me and you
Yes, it’s true
Well she lit out in her old prom dress
And her daddy’s car
Like a bat out of hell
She drove real fast, she drove real far
On the edge of far off places, her demons chased her still
Chorus 2:
Lift me up
Hold me under, wash me clean and make me new again
Lift me up
Cuz there’s a River Jordan over yonder for me and you
Yes, it’s true
We’ll get there soon
I know that there’s a place for me and you
Lift me up 4X
Bridge:
All these ghosts and apparitions
Float around and turn to dust
Hearts and souls among us
We sit and watch them rust

When the wind begins to sigh
When the sky is flying high
When the leaves begin to curl
And the moon shines like a pearl
I will wait for you
Down by the river
If the current drags me down
Promise I won’t make a sound
Cuz the water will restore
All the pain that we endured
I will wait for you
Down by the river
Chorus:
It’s not like we were born to win
I see it in your eyes
We’ve got so many scars to lose
Some we cannot describe
I will wait for you in the gathering dark
With a murder of crows and a broken-down car
I will wait for you
Down by the river
Walk along the empty shore
Skipping stones and wanting more
I’d wait all night for one more kiss
See the sunrise that we missed
I will wait for you
Down by the river
Chorus 2:
It’s not like we were born to win
I see it in your eyes
We’ve got so many scars to lose
Some we cannot deny
I will wait for you in the gathering dark
With a murder of crows and a broken-down car
I will wait for you
Down by the river
I will wait for you when the birds leave the park
They talk about so many things
And fly off in the dark
I will wait for you
Down by the river
Down by the river
Down by the river
Down by the river

Say You Might
03:59

I wanna touch your hand
Like it was the first time
Wanna hold your face with a smile
And whisper, “you’re mine”
I wanna reach out
And light this flame
Wanna turn off the tv and make you believe in my name
Chorus:
Will you say you will be mine?
In the backseat of my car
Say you might
Underneath the union stars
Say you might
And I know we’ve come so far
Say you might, say you might
Again
I wanna take the time
To maybe start again
I wanna end all these games that we cannot win in the end
I wanna reach out
And face this day
Let go of the reigns and stop all the blame again
Chorus
Bridge:
And all of this time we wait
To stop all these things we say
I know that we’re changing with all of these colors
I don’t know which hue to stay
Chorus 2
La la la la la la la la
Say you might

Go

GO
If you wanna take a ride
Catch you on the other side
Pull the trigger bullets fly
Never hit me if you try
Chorus:
Hey, oh my my
You say your low when I get high
Go, please don’t go
Take it fast or maybe take it slow
Which way to go?
If you wanna close your eyes
Feel your way and visualize
Take my hand and we will go
Anyway the wind will blow
Chorus
