The Dirt 03:37
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.

Buck 05:14
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.

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.

Home 06:09
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.

Job 03:13
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.

How Amazing 08:47
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.

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
