Track Name: The Dirt
Push the dirt over the overgrown weeds,
So they’ll never be seen,
And they’ll die when they cannot breath,
It covers them well

The dirt is over my eyes,
So I can’t see what I’ve done,
I can’t feel the breeze I can’t see the sun,
I hope you can’t see what I’ve done

It’s the dirt where I came from,
And to the dirt ill return
It’s the dirt in my lungs, that makes me filthy and in need, to be cleaned

You’re as white as snow,
But you were as bloody as a freshly cut throat,
And you conquered what we fear the most,
And rose from the ground,

It’s the dirt where I came from,
And to the dirt ill return
It’s the dirt in my lungs, that makes me filthy and in need, to be cleaned
It’s the dirt in my lungs, that makes me filthy and in need, to be saved
It’s the dirt in my lungs, that brought you here to me, to save.
Track Name: Buck
We’re fearless fakes, yet we call each other brother,
We can’t relate, let alone love one another.
We’ve such a mess, that we can cover well.
And we’ll point you out, and reserve our place in hell.

You’ll sink or swim, when your thrown over board,
A life changing mistake or is there some reward.
I look to see, but nothing’s as it seems,
How can this be, in a world that’s lacking dreams.

Stealing stars, the sun will rise
And I’ll trade my eyes for dimes,
My heart’s a fruit for flies
My soul an open safe of lies.

The Devil’s skin in paper thin,
Green and black ink flows within.
“In God we Trust” is a stable line
that sends cold shivers down my spine.

Your banks and trusts will haunt you like a breeze
When you don’t have a coat and your about to freeze,
Break free your chains, and strike a match
If it’s your pain, don’t let it hold you back.

Stealing stars, the sun will rise
And I’ll trade my eyes for dimes,
My heart’s a fruit for flies
My soul an open safe of lies.

The Devil’s skin in paper thin,
Green and black ink flows within.
“In God we Trust” is a stable line
that sends cold shivers down my spine.

And we don’t know how, to show our love when all our money’s gone.
But I will show mine, when all I have is a penny and a song.
And anything you want to give, ill gladly give it back.
Those who are lacking, will be relaxing and all that they don’t have.

Stealing stars, the sun will rise
And I’ll trade my eyes for dimes,
My heart’s a fruit for flies
My soul an open safe of lies.

The Devil’s skin in paper thin,
Green and black ink flows within.
“In God we Trust” is a stable line
that sends cold shivers down my spine.
Track Name: the Rib & the Woman
There's a ghost of a man, who's as strong as he can be, and lonely too. He's loyal and strong, naming whatever he sees. With whom can he be, for whom can he slave, to whom can he place himself below, to love like ill later love him.

And I realize its not for his good, for him to be alone, so I take from his side, and I make him a bride, a love like never before. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life.

Made alone but together, to share a world to themselves, to feel a love like no other, and find a life worth the hand they've been dealt.

Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife. Two in one made in my image, two in one, made for life. Just a rib for a woman, just a bone for a wife.
Track Name: Home
Streets and signs, will show me the way
But only till I have arrived
But there’s a place I only can see
When I close my eyes

And she’s there waiting
And she’s all alone

Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done

Sweet breeze, flows through her hair
Her eyes cast the sun’s perfect glare
And my face is as course as the sea
In the roughest storm that there’ll ever be.

And the waves crash down
And amidst the white seafoam
All I see is

Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done

And she’ll be my wife if she don’ know it yet,
And I love her eyes and her perfect silhouette,
And she’ll bear my child and ill protect them both,
And Ill love her
I love her
And Ill love them
I love them

Home,
Perfect home
I wont have to wait no more
And love
Sweet love
Come knock on my door

And wife, whom I love
Will you wait for me, like I wait for you
And child from above
I will give you love and a home.
Track Name: Job
You took my sons away
And more to my dismay
You took all that I owned
And burned down all I’d grown

I just don’t know what’s going on

But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me

I’m as cripple as a little old man
And I can’t find the strength to stand
I’m as rabid as the devil’s dog
What else is there that could be lost.

I just don’t know what’s going on

But I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me

And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain

Well my wife said curse His name
But I don’t play the devil’s games
So I said, “Satan Shut Your Mouth!”
He’s the only one that I got left

And I think I know what’s going on

So I still sleep at night
Cuz ill know that you love me
And I still sleep at night
Cuz I know that you love me

And if I don’t wake
I consider it a gain
Take whatever you want to take
Cuz it’s all done in your name.
Track Name: How Amazing
Amazing grace, how sweet is your sound?
Amazing grace, a wretch like me?
I’m as blind as a bat and as bloodthirsty too
I want things that I don’t have
and do the things that I do so I can get them too

I killed you on the cross
I speared you, and water trickled down
Im honest, I didn’t cry.
No not one tear fell from my eyes
Im sorry but I didn’t see you die.
But still I tore the flesh from your side.

Amazing grace are you that amazing?

Are you that amazing?

You opened up my eyes
I felt the blood sprinkle down from the sky.
I didn’t want to see, but I couldn’t look away,
You weren’t a man, you were sin, and you paid it’s debt that day.

My eyes, my eyes, were coals burning inside my brain.
And fire consumed all the doubt I’d built up
And then grace snuffed it out like a rain.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now im found
I was as blind as a bat but now I can see.

You loved me, when I didn’t mean it.
You sought me, when eyes were closed.
And you love me, just as I am
And you know me, just as I am,

A man

All praise and honor, be to you my holy father.
All praise and glory be to God.

This all is yours, and it always has been, and it always will be.
