my lord, you saying something? it sounds like nothing i ever wanna hear with love, i feel what you’re laying you know that praying game aint right for me now I’m all shook up that ill mess it up with own these two hands i will not mend lord, when will i wake up? see what i’ve made up for, i can’t believe my goal, ain’t for tomorrow im filled with all this hope that’ll never be and I’m all shook up that ill mess it up with my own two hands how will this end?

Open Boat 04:34
all aboard the boat said the captain steering one by one against the rift and the sun was abroad i could hold her all aboard the end of time and we row our way back home and we pray way don't end up wronged are we fools to think we can make it out? so we rowed and rowed for a while the waves were our friends and our shelter but this place is a mess and our pleads are deaf now im scared that i know what you're thinking we swim or else we die she is old with an odd correspondent and she shows she gives to swell are we fools to think we can make it out? either way i will row till these arms fall right off and let us run away, love, to be with you no matter what they say, love, i'd be with you and let us run away, love, to be with you no matter what they say, love, i'd be with you
3.
can i change myself, i wondered? it ain’t hard to tell, i’m sinking and the speed of light is pulling me away i just want to climb myself out and never submit you were right when you said it ain’t mine to take living in this house i never called my home and you wanted it out what's there to revive when its gone? it ain’t right like you said i won’t try again
4.
its hard enough to make it on time its 3 o’clock and i can barely stand so much for these plans we’ve made up its hard enough you don’t give a damn amazing, pictures you take amazing, pictures you take i’ve thrown myself into this messy plot line and i can tell that its not ending well ill leave you now so you can make your moves remember i said i will love you till the very end amazing, pictures you take amazing, pictures you take amazing, pictures you take
5.
ghost, you got another thing coming wake up, i think you better get started will i ever be an important man? with such simple things i can’t understand in a world where it pays to be cold like a can it aint easy like it used to be mom, you never thought that i would make it oddly, i don’t think that i can take anymore of this small little life that sits in front me and the way you forget to remember the breeze with my hands on my sides and my toes to the ground it ain’t easy like it used to be its cloudy out
6.
best of luck to yourself and your new made friend with your love to record every move that i make and the thought that you lost but you found somewhere else has it been all along that you knew it would end? blame my wishful thinking things could change. and the flesh that you left stretching out to the bones could it be you have searched for a world of your own take this weary head and make it right again do you still sit by that big lake where i left you on that bright day? how could i go on this way?
7.
and i've seen the rain coming over the hill and i saw them houses crumble furiously and it took its toll on momma now she cant breathe and i see my life hurting in front of me and maybe my heads the problem it wont let me sleep and ill always search for answers and no one will speak and i swear ill do what i can to get back to you and i swear id take my own life for you to come through you know that i would you know if i could you better believe it you know that i would
8.
Champagne 02:31
where are we going? it beats me and what were you saying? I’m not here it gets old when you play in this world of champagne how does it feel? to be left why do you call? this is sad it takes guts to do you in this world of champagne
