Fold I 03:47
Drunk as hell, I set my church on fire Overwhelmed by such a bright desire to see All I knew burned up in such a flame Nothing true besides the crushing blame you set I shouted to Heaven, "Go on and leave me alone." Someone shouted back at me, "Fine, if that's what you want, I'm gone. I'll leave you like you always wanted Just like I never cared Leave you like you were nothing Just like I was never there." Drunk as well, I found you out of range Broke the spell to find that nothing changed in me All my life in search of something good But each time I tried I was misunderstood by you I shouted to Heaven, "Go on and leave me alone." Someone shouted back at me, "Fine, if that's what you want, I'm gone. I'll leave you like you always wanted Just like I never cared Leave you like you were nothing Just like I was never there."

I'm no longer a simple man You found me strong-willed with force in my hand But I've said all I have to say, that's all I've said Before you break through, you'll have to break me instead My hear is stained from reservation But oh, I know I am dead where I stand So, Let's go, I am ready, I am To fall away with you To fall away with you I've heard stories of a fire instead You'll hit stones against stones to see if it will ignite But I'll just drink and smoke and tell myself I'm not alone Before you take my side, I'll take this all on my own My hear is stained from reservation But oh, I know I am dead where I stand So, Let's go, I am ready, I am To fall away with you To fall away with you Take my hand, I don't know where I'm going Hold me close and lead me back to you All my life, I swear that I've been waiting I'm just tired, that's all I'll say to you Oh, I know I am dead where I stand So, Let's go, I am ready, I am To fall away with you To fall away with you

Control 04:35
God, are you sleeping? Are you dead? Words in my mouth are still unsaid And I'm not sure if I can get them out 'Cause I've spent enough time in my head I've spent enough time sleepin' All of the days, they blur together now And all of the words are still trapped in my mouth I don't want you, I don't want God I don't want anything at all I don't have the words to bring that light back home That's a season of my life that's gone Where was I going? I almost lost control And your eyes they showed it, but I had nowhere else to go So just keep breathing You walked me right up to that cliff Did all you could to make me jump off of it And I'll give in, you know I always do I'll do anything I can to never disappoint you Disappoint you Where was I going? I almost lost control And your eyes they showed it, but I had nowhere else to go So just keep breathing, that's where you wanna be 'Cause it never occurred to me to just move through And I could never suggest it as calmly as you do I could put up a fight, but I don't think it'd come out quite like it used to Like it used to

Interlude 01:02
5.
Part of me is gone Lost like you couldn't imagine But I keep holding on by fear A fury pulls me in, just to exhale a whisper I've never heard something more alone And all inside, I pull apart the pieces I used to hide I'm a wreck of a man, won't you save me? Wrestled all I can, won't you name me? I'm a wreck of a man I'm a wreck of a man There burned in me a flame One that no man could extinguish I lost it on the way to you My memory draws a face Sometimes I swear I can see it I've never seen something more alone And all inside, I pull apart the pieces I used to hide from you And all my life, I stayed a step ahead of the pain Now I look in inside I'm a wreck of a man, won't you save me? Wrestled all I can, won't you name me? I'm a wreck of a man I'm a wreck of a man And all inside, I pull apart the pieces I used to hide from you And all my life, I stayed a step ahead of the pain Now I look in inside I'm a wreck of a man, won't you save me? Wrestled all I can, won't you name me? I'm a wreck of a man I'm a wreck of a man I'm a wreck of a man I'm a wreck of a man

I hide my face I can't relate the things you should have known I lost my way I can't retrace the way I should have gone Pack my things Lead the way, if you must I might fall down, but I ain't giving up Take my chances 'til I'm out of luck Give my all until my body's done I can't be sure that I am quite enough I lost myself Trying to find Hell And I think I almost did So what now's left? Here in my chest I don't have much to give But take what's there Leave me bare, if you must I might fall down, but I ain't giving up Take my chances 'til I'm out of luck Give my all until my body's done I can't be sure that I am quite enough But take my love and all I wanna be Kill the Devil, he's been haunting me Give me faith just like a child should Turn this pain into something good I might fall down, but I ain't giving up Take my chances 'til I'm out of luck Give my all until my body's done I can't be sure that I am quite enough But take my love and all I wanna be Kill the Devil, he's been haunting me Give me faith just like a child should Turn this pain into something good

Fold II 03:00
In the middle of it all Are you happy with what you've done? Are you happy at all? In the middle of it 'Cause you made us bound to fall To break and crumble at your call To crumble just at all You made us I 'd like to walk on streets of gold Reach my hand out, find yours there to hold And you tell me along, that I was your Fold And you tell me along, that I was your Fold Yours only to hold
8.
Home, A place I never dared to call my own When it was opened up to me I just left all alone Because I was afraid Not enough to admit I was every single day When someone moves closer, I just move further away I almost fell though With a hundred thousand reasons not to let go And I just sat there screaming, singing "Hell no, I'm never going to give my heart away" Well I know it's her The one who makes it hard to find another The one who wakes me up to remind me I'm still hurt So I'll drink, yeah I'll drink it all away And if that don't work, I'll drink more all the same 'Cause what I have is what I have, no poison could ever change A little part of me that no one can ever save I almost fell, though With a hundred thousand reasons not to let go And I just sat there screaming, singing "Hell no, I'm never going to give my heart away" She put up a fight, though And I'd give up all my rights to see those eyes glow And after all my pain, I might say "Hell though, I just might try to give my heart away" And the edge of my seat is on the edge of my mind (Won't be surprised this time, won't be left hanging on a line) And the furthest from you is the closest I'll be (My restless heart will set me free, never mind what I'm leaving) I almost fell though With a hundred thousand reasons not to let go And I just sat there screaming, singing "Hell no, I'm never going to give my heart away"

On the ropes, on the run, I doubt things are bound to change Better days pass away, I might just be out of range I was always too young or too old for you I was always too dumb or too bold for truth Cleaner slate, give me grace, whatever the hell I'll need Justified, sanctified, God I hope I still believe I was always too young or too old for you Damned or saved, it doesn't change a thing I've done for you For you Sit me down, tied and bound, burn me up from the inside Make me stand, if you can, God I wish that I had died I could never be bold and outgrow my youth I was either untrained or too sane for you For you I walk away with shame No one left to blame The burden of my guilt With nothing left to kill For you
10.
Taught to fear my God Then that fear became a cancer And I take medicine to destroy the sin But I know, in the end it's killing me I watched my family fall apart My father's liquor was his crutch But he still taught me well That this world, it is a Hell And we're all damned to the hell of living With my heart in my hands I am ready again I am a broken man, I am 'Cause I've come to accept That the blood that you bled It was bled and sent for the likes of me Should I work myself to death? Who gives a damn about my rest And I'll leave the divine to better men than I I'll just take what I can find anymore So I left you knocking at the door I just don't feel it anymore The only fire I feel has been burning at my heels And it's real I feel like I've been sinking With my heart in my hands I am ready again I am a broken man, I am 'Cause I've come to accept That the blood that you bled It was bled and sent for the likes of me

Fold III 04:18
I woke up still shaking from the night I had before It might have been a dream, but I was shaken to my core A crowded room of people, crosses hanging from their necks All staring at me while I drink myself to death It's not like we don't talk, I'm speaking more and more these days Despite the lack of answers, and how much that silence weighs I guess that you can't hear me from the bottom of this grave Or else you're just not listening, there are more important souls to save Everybody saw right through you, preaching to the Fold We thought that it was worship, it turned out to be a show The cross around my neck, it tightened up into a noose Holy brothers I thought loved me only loved what they might turn me into
