She's Gone (Demo)

You think a prayer will bring her back?
Maybe some positive thinking?
While ya hope it’s all a bad dream
Cause she’s gone and you keep pretending
She’s lying there
Thinking about the things she said
And thinking how it could be different
If you could do it over again
But she’s gone and you keep pretending
She’s lying there
She’s gone and your heart breaks she’s gone
She’s gone and you can’t believe it’s true
Are these songs about a girl or are these songs about this city?
Either way the feelings the same
Cause she’s gone and you keep pretending
She’s lying there
She’s gone and your soul aches she’s gone
She’s gone and you can’t believe it’s true that she’s not lying next to you anymore

We all have gifts
Some of us know what they are
Some of us don't know yet
We all have things
That God has given us to help each other with
I believe this is true
And I believe when I look at you
Yours is not the gift of wisdom
I hear it every time you open up your mouth
Yours is not the gift of wisdom
We all know it's true from the things you spew
Claiming Old Testament verses out of context
Saying they're for you
I'm sorry but I didn't know you were a 2600 year old Jew
Claiming success in this life from Jeremiah
Tell it to Saint Paul, Peter and Uriah

Long jean skirts and little white socks
Hot damn my baby rocks
She’s my Pentecostal Pamela Lee
Got her hair all up in a bun
Oh man she’s a load of fun
She’s my Pentecostal Pamela Lee
The way she dresses man she is the bomb
She buys all of her clothes from liliesapparel.com
She doesn’t shave above the shin
You need a machete when you're diving in
She’s my Pentecostal Pamela Lee
The summer months she’s fully dressed
My baby sweats buckets
She’s my Pentecostal Pamela Lee
The way she dresses man she is the bomb
She buys all of her clothes from liliesapparel.com
I haven’t seen above her knee
She doesn’t believe in the Trinity
She’s my Oneness Pentecostal Pamela Lee

Here's my heart in a million pieces
It's my humble offering
Here's my heart in a million pieces
I can't give you everything
Here's my body it's a broken vessel
It ain't much but it's all I got
Here's my body it's a broken vessel
I can't give you what I'm not
I will give you everything I have but not yet
I'm not done being the chief of sinners

When you cried when you were born
Were you thinking of the crown of thorns
That would pierce your head when all the world was laughing
Did you know from the very start
Were you born with a broken heart
For a world to blind to see their Savior
Did you wake up in the middle of the night
with dreams of how it would end
Did your mother ever ask you why
Why you seemed preoccupied
And your hands always seemed to be shaking
Did you ever have any fun
Could you ever just kill the time
Or was every second a painful reminder
Every time you heard your dad pound the hammer down
Did it make you cringe at the thought
Did you ever want to run away
Did you ever get down on your knees and pray
Oh Father take this cup away
Wrapped up tightly in your mother's arms
Did you know you’d be rejected and despised

We can blame the politicians
We can blame it on religion
We can blame the lack of vision
On greater entities
And that very well may be
But we should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
To say the least
We can blame their superstitions
Or other self-imposed conditions
We can blame it on a dictatorship
A murderous crook
But that won't get us off the hook
Cause we should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
To say the least of these aren't worth our attention
To say the least of these aren't worth another look
In the least of these we see our judgement and salvation
In the least of these we see our gods
So we should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
We should all feel a little uneasy
To say the least

Only when you know there's a way out
Can you dwell on things that seem so hopeless
Only when you know the mystery
Can you contemplate your own destruction
I Can Move
Only when you see your failures
Can you really see the not yet
Only when you throw your hands up
Can you really ever do anything
I Can Move
Only when you look outside you
Can you see how you fit in
Only when you quit holding on
Can you really grasp anything

I’m the one who lost my inhibitions
I feared nothing when I left the shore
I'm the one who was left wide open
Nothing to hide no cover to employ
Because you can if you want
You can see the other side
you can see the world and get it in perspective
You can know what's going on
You can see what's going down
Do you want to know if the world spins around you
I used to walk your shore
I’m bored with it I’m bored with it
Come on let’s go skinny dippin’
You’re the one who said that my behavior
Just doesn't fit with the things you've learned
You're the one who said that I’m acting foolish
For the younger ones I should be concerned
But the younger ones should know the truth lies down below
They need to be the ones who jump in and find it
The truth will not sit still it seeks a deeper thrill
Its own nature seems to destroy itself

How long will I ignore you before it goes away
How long will I ignore you before it goes away
Will you darken my heart
Will you darken my heart
It gets easier every time I turn away
To not feel like I'm wrong I'll sing along
With the sirens as they lead me to destruction
And the songs we sing sound so much better to my ears than your voice
I'll make a choice to ignore you while you're calling me back home
I know there's no life without you
I know there's nowhere I can go
It gets easier every time I turn away
To not feel like I'm wrong I'll sing along
With the sirens as they lead me to destruction
And the songs we sing sound so much better to my ears than your voice
I'll make a choice to ignore you while you're calling me back home

Before it breaks
Before it’s over
Before it takes
What's little left of my soul
I’ll try and shake off these shackles
I’ll try and break
Myself from this self-inflicted hell
Cause I know it’s the little things that arrest me
Don't mistake my silence
For forgiveness
I've never been one to let anything go
Gonna add it all up
You may have moved beyond but it’s my burden still
I know it's the little things that arrest me
Gonna mark the time by this miserable wall I build
I know it's the little things that arrest me
It’s the little foxes
It’s the cunning lies
It’s the paradoxes
It’s the hopeless tries
It’s the desperation
It’s the hanging on
It’s the feeling I get when all hope is gone
