Traceless

Time flies like the winds of the east
This no-mans land brought down to it's knees
Regrets like the scars on my face
I've been put in my place
I can't erase this
Or escape this
I'm traceless
I'm just a shell of a man you tried
You said I said you said I'd try
Said what you needed from me, oh yeah it's died
You said I said you said I lied
If you were me you'd abandon this ship
But you ain't me and I'm not one to quit
Throw this heart through your ring of fire
You're my only desire in this choir of liars
It's time to escape this
I'm traceless
I'm just a shell of a man you tried
You said I said you said I'd try
Said what you needed from me, oh yeah it's died
You said I said you said I lied
Now tell me what this is I'm drinking
Speak up I can't hear what you're thinking
The light in my eyes is slowly leaving
Six feet deep what was I thinking?

Blood On My Hands
04:37

Simple love for a simple mind
I still need you all the same
Steal your love with my Judas kiss
there's no way to forget my name
With this taste, on your lips
Tell me I'm the only one you see
My brother's bleeding
And, the blood is on my hands
You never told him, but you wanted me
I've got you
In my skin
You are my sin
I've got you again
Here we are again
I'll trade what was dead anyway
Just to steal you away my dear
You and me babe, we're one in the same
And you can't change what happened here
It couldn't work, but I had to try girl
You're in my mind both day and night
What's done is done and it's half past time
This lover's blood ain't just no crime
I've got you
In my skin
You are my sin
I've got you again
Here we are again
I'll trade what was dead anyway
Just to steal you away my dear
You and me babe, we're one in the same
And you can't change what happened here
And every time that I look at you babe
I see his face in the space where you should've been
And every time that I look at myself
I feel the rage and the pain that I could've helped
I've got you
In my skin
You are my sin
I've got you again
Here we are again

Mercy

Your fiery wings are broken
Innocence sold or stolen
I didn't come here to raise hell
But I'm a demon when you need it and I sure know how to please ya
Put your hand into mine
Don't tell me ya need me when you leave me
This love, this sweet love
It don't mean nothing when it's changed
Your love, it's so sweet love
But it don't mean nothing when you're away
Save my soul, save my soul
Save my soul if you please
Save my soul, save my soul
Save my soul if you please
Baby when you come back, don't show me mercy
Take me out, leave me begging to breath
Oh I'm not worried no
Cause when ya find me I'll be strung out
With blood in my teeth
Baby when you come back, don't show me mercy
(I didn't mean to raise no hell)
Take me out, leave me begging to breath
Oh I'm not worried no
(I didn't come here to raise no god damned hell)
Cause when ya find me I'll be strung out
With blood in my teeth

Now stay right there
Don't ya move
I want you in the light of the moon
So I can capture the mood
And give this night new attitude
And you've got your intentions
And lord know I've got mine
So let's make a connection
And turn the dark into light
And I know you've been patient
I see ya clawing at your skin
So come to me magic woman
And let the night begin
And don't ya know that, I'm a sinner
Just like you, and I see your ember
Burning through
Well I'm yours if you want to
Lay me down, and drag me out
Show me what God is all about
And don't forget my love, so sincere
Whisper softly in my ear
All the things that you like
Baby we're all alone tonight
Scream if you want because no one can hear
Just how badly I need you dear
And you've got that style
It really drives me insane
And everybody around us knows
That you're love is to blame
And I can hear ya calling
In the dead of night
Asking me to save you honey
From all the things that bite
And invite you in, yeah
And don't ya know that, I'm a sinner
Just like you, and I see your ember
Burning through
Well I'm yours if you want to
Lay me down, and drag me out
Show me what God is all about
And don't forget my love, so sincere
Whisper softly in my ear
All the things that you like
Baby we're all alone tonight
Scream if you want because no one can hear
Just how badly I need you dear

Cling to the Light

I'm walking through this desert
My feet are bloody and sore
And it feels like pain is the only thing
That a man is good for
You know I know that I did this to myself
I drove everything I loved away
So now I go to bed with a hunger in my soul at the end of every day
But there's this woman that fills my dreams you see
Almost every night
And I'm hoping that she'll bring me back to the warmth of the light
I'm gonna cling to the light of this love that I'm not letting go
Not letting go this time around
Though the devil he tempt me lord
You know I tell him to pick his tail up
And turn right back around
You know I welcome the sin, I let it sink in
But darling that's when you begin
To take this heart that's black
And make it go back
To the light and the love that you know it lacks
Oh yeah, that you know it lacks
She got auburn hair that glows like fire at the end of a summer's day
And deep green eyes like the beautiful trees in the Florida Everglades
Now I don't know if she's my angel
Guiding me to take me home
Or a demon that's just weighing me down
Cause I'm already too far gone
I don't care either way
If it's wrong or if it's right
I'm gonna walk to the woman if it takes the rest of my life
I'm gonna cling to the light of this love that I'm not letting go
Not letting go this time around
Though the devil he tempt me lord
You know I tell him to pick his tail up
And turn right back around
You know I welcome the sin, I let it sink in
But darling that's when you begin
To take this heart that's black
And make it go back
To the light and the love that you know it lacks
Oh yeah, that you know it lacks
Now, now, now, now, won't ya take me back
I'm gonna find her
If it takes me the rest of my days
I'll keep a truckin', through the sun and the rain
Cause she's the only light, that I've ever seen
If I don't find her I'll go blind eventually
I'm gonna cling to the light of this love that I'm not letting go
Not letting go this time around
Though the devil he tempt me lord
You know I tell him to pick his shit up
And turn right back around
You know I welcome the sin, I let it sink in
But darling that's when you begin
To take this heart that's black
And make it go back
To the light and the love that you know it lacks
Oh yeah, that you know it lacks
Now, now, now, now, yeah
Now save me, save me ,save me, save me, save me, save me, save me yeah now

Eat Your Heart Out

I've never been one to cause much trouble
But here I am about to jump from the bottle
Walk right in, tempt me with your sin
And I'm always on the verge of giving in
Oh darling, where do I begin?
Come on in, make me feel alive
Though I couldn't be more dead inside
Whisper in my ear the things I need to hear
Lord knows I need to stay away
But I'm so damn lonely these days
Darling won't ya take me, to your sovereign place?
I need to escape tonight, night
Oh you're a devil in disguise
Filling my mind full of lies
You're just a pill
But darling, I'm ill
Eat my heart out
Oh yeah, eat my heart out
Oh lord now
Torture me with death's sweet kiss
You know I missed your scarlet lips
Baby you're my light, baby you're my sun
But I'll never be the only one
Good lord, what have I done?
Darling won't ya take me, to your sovereign place?
I need to escape tonight, night
Oh you're a devil in disguise
Filling my mind full of lies
You're just a pill
But darling, I'm ill
Eat my heart out
Oh yeah, eat my heart out
Lord, lord now eat me
Take this heart out from my chest
(Take it out now)
Love me like you did the rest
(Am I only second best?)
Oh, I'm a sinner I must confess
(Lord won't ya save me?)
Love me like you did the rest
(Now, now, now, now, now like ya did the)
Take this heart out from my chest
(Take it out now)
Love me like you did the rest
(Am I only second best?)
Oh, I'm a sinner I must confess
(Lord won't ya save me?)
Love me like you did the rest
Hey! Ho! Lord! No!
