God help me, I'm in trouble God save, I am in need How I've walked so long and strayed so far God, take the evil out of me. All my loved ones, I have hurt them All my lovers, they hurt me And I keep moving on, but I'm not that strong God, take the evil out of me And oh, the church, look how that's worked out But I guess I still call them family I just sit and fear for the day they'll leave When they finally see the evil inside of me. God help me, I'm in trouble Father save, I am in need All I feel is your damnation, please Are you mad at me, or the evil inside of me? It's my fault, I admit it I have sinned beyond my needs But I just hide behind my fallen place As I secretly love the evil inside of me. It must just be the evil inside of me God, kill the evil inside of me.

Kate Hudson 04:26
It's lonely here, but I don't mind I've said my prayers just to pass the time Falling slowly, I've been casted out In the name of exploring I've put all my faith into my doubts It's lone here, but I'd like to stay My only love's up and run away Falling under, I've been through a spell Lord I surrender, but is this Heaven or is this Hell? It's hard to see When you spend your whole life shining Its hard to be The man that overcomes And it's harder for me Come to think, I haven't been sleeping Just lay awake Waiting for the sun I'm waiting for the sun

Tall Man 05:04
Well I'm pretty sure I lost you In fact the years say I have Only God would be a fool not to love me as I am. But I'm pretty sure I lost Him, Or He's something I never had So my years spent in reverence are years I won't get back. Fallen pieces, I'm torn in two I stand beside a man I once knew He's a fearless man, I am terrified He climbed up mountains, I'm scared of heights He's a tall man, taller than I am Ah damn, I don't wanna be damned Ah hell, I don't wanna go to Hell Well I'm pretty sure I lost it The fire deep inside My drinking and my sins Revealed what I couldn't hide. That's when I knew I lost You You unforgiving God So my words said in reverence Are words that I have lost. Fallen pieces, I'm torn in two I stand beside a man I once knew He's a fearless man, I am terrified He climbed up mountains, I'm scared of heights Counts his blessings, calls it love Always forgiving, I'm always fed up You can see his eyes, you can see how they glow I never had it, mine's just for show He's a tall man, taller than I am He's a tall man, a giant beside me A tall man, taller than I am Ah damn, I don't wanna be damned Ah hell, I don't wanna go to Hell He's a tall man, taller than I am He's a tall man, a giant beside me A tall man, taller than I am Ah damn, I don't wanna be damned Ah hell, I don't wanna go to Hell

I'm trying to kill the moon It's out of my range, but I got strength and my aim is true And it'll be here soon It's gonna come down, tied and bound for you

Rocks cry out, rocks cry out Obey your call, relieve my doubt I won't lift a note 'til I've heard them sing, Join in the chorus I was promised, praise in everything Hear me out, hear me out What have you heard, what am I all about? Better half of a year trying to keep myself sane But I can't hold much longer baby, I don't have the strength. My heart never woke I didn't come alive with the words you spoke But don't be dismayed That's just the way it is. In singing, I find it better not to sing at all I'd rather raise my glass, tip our hats off to the Fall So hats off to the new cause, another round for all your friends We're not art, we're not beauty We are the death of everything This is love, this is the end.

Thorns 02:44
I tried to learn to walk without this crutch, Holding on to anything That might keep me up, But what it'd take to move my legs was more than I could pay, That cross won't fit unless you nail me to it, and I don't have the strength. I wanted to be that man who washed your feet, I wanted to move those mountains right into the sea, But all of my gold turned into dust somewhere along the way, Now the mess that I sit in now is the mess I've made. I tried so hard to give you everything, Laid myself down on your alter for you to cut away, But the sin I claim is the sin I keep, And too afraid of what I'd be, I crawled away, And now I don't do much but bleed. This is where good men die, down on their knees, This is the line where comfort turns to complacency, This is the thorn stuck in my side and God it made me slow, It hurt too much to pull, so I just let it grow. It hurt too much to pull, so I just let it grow.
