lyrics

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.

about

the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina

the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
