The faithless turn faithful x4
I was running down the street trying to find a place I need to be
I got real lost and I wound up at a shallow creek
I found a girl she was chasing down a shooting star
She moved real slow but I could see that she was trying hard
And she looked to me
With eyes like the river
On which she flowed
And she said to me
Take it slow
Theres no need to go
Anywhere at all
You're right where you need to be
So take it slow
Take it slow
and I said
Had two summers where I was basically falling apart
Spent my time pickin' friends and enemies apart
Saw the city and it chewed me up and spit me out
Now I'm making up for time but I don't know how
And she said
There's no need to go
Any faster than the river
On which I flow
It's going to go
Right where it needs to go
Then she turned around
So I started to float
Right down the lazy river
On which she flowed
And on we flow
The faithless turned faithful x4
And I said
And I said
And she said
And she said
So I said
Then we said

You're so god
Damn faithful
To your gods
and Tv shows
It never gets better
I'm so god
Damn grateful
For rainfall
And winter snows
But you just get bitter
I don't know if you know me all that well
But if you can damn me to hell
I bet we go together
Because if god can't love the love of all
Then I don't think god could even love at all
You're wrong
Cause god can do better
My favorite songs
Are all about god
And his faults
You swear
I'm Lost
But I know
I'm not

And you came in fetters
like a rabid angry bird
and you loved me much better
than a thousand who came before
god I love the way you walk
like you're taking on the room
and I love every single though you jaded
now I want to get the best of you
I find you staring right down
right down the sights at me
I cross my heart a bit too hard
and now we're gunna make this bitch bleed
And you fell like feathers
off of fathers somber clothes
and your lungs sing soft summers
to and undeserving world
god I love the way you talk
like you're taking on the room
and I love every single thought you've jaded
now I wanna get the best of you
I find you staring right down
right down the sights at me
I cross my heart a bit too hard
and now we're gunna make this bitch bleed x2
Oh god I feel so helpless
feel so insecure
can't get this monkey off my back
he's scratching more and more
and more
I know
It's temporary
temporary
I find you staring right down
right down the sights at me
I cross my heart a bit too hard
and now we're gunna make this bitch bleed

he's never watched Shindler's List
but he never could admit it to his parents that think its
so powerful
and he's trying to take authority
but he's always had a problem with his self-esteem
he's so pitiful
But he never once thought to grow up
and he never once got to be tough
oh no
she's never watched Shindler's List
but she's got a strong opinion and she swears that its
so fucking dull
and she's always on her phone she's talking
to a friend that she once called a hoe
a stupid hoe
But she never once thought to grow up
and she never once got to be loved
oh no
I feel a stranger creeping up
a fiber on the tongue
a cold home
He's never watched Shindler's list
but he never could admit it to his parents that think its
so powerful
and he's always on his phone he's talking
to the girl that he just bought she's
so beautiful
But he never once thought to grow up
and he never once asked about her
oh no
She's never watched Shindler's List
but she's got a strong opinion and she swears that its
so fucking dull
and she's giving credibility
to the product that she bought up on the TV screen
she's so pitiful
But she never once thought to grow up
and she never once got to be loved
oh no
I feel a stranger creeping up
a fiber on the tongue
a cold home
world wide web of wastefulness
always breaks its promises
go to work then come right back
I don't want to live like that
no more
no more

wake up wake up little mouse
your house is burning down
its cold outside but this fire
is warm as hell
your hell
wake up wake up little bird
your nest has fallen from its perch
and I know why you don't take flight
and I know why you don't take flight
its because of me
Go to sleep little baby
I'll wake you up in the morning
I don't have any time for you right now
I need to sleep for a while
I can feel your heart in my heartbeat
I can see your face when she smiles
I can feel your fingers gripping my fingers are slipping
away
Go to sleep little baby
I'll wake you up in the morning
I don't have any time for you right now
I need to sleep for a while
Wake up wake up little girl
your body is growin
your momma is freakin out
wake up wake up little boy
your home is flooding
your family is leaving now
and if you want a second chance
then you'll have to wait for mom and dad
to be a bit less selfish and
to have a bit more planned
I can feel your heart in my heartbeat
I can see your face when she smiles
I can feel your fingers gripping my fingers are slipping
away
Go to sleep little baby
I'll wake you up in the morning
I don't have any time for you right now
I need to sleep for a while
And I will wait for you
If you will wait for me too

Follow yeah I'll follow
Yeah I'll follow you
If you follow the fold
Follow the fold
You've got some good news
You've got some good news?
You've got some good news don't you?
Don't you? x2
Well I'll follow you
If you follow the fold
Follow the fold
Now my summer is like you winter
And my father is my best friend
And my daughter has gone missing
And my brother well he'll kill me if he can
If he can
If he follows you
Well I'm done thinking on my own
Cause I know what it's worth
So I'll just follow you
And you can follow the fold
Now my summer lasts forever
And computers count my friends
And my daughter never existed
And I got some gloves to hide my bloody hands
I will follow you through the crowds
Lead me along until I let go
And take on the fold
Now I become the fold
Yeah I become the fold
Well I followed you
Now you can follow me through the crowds
I'll lead you along
Until I let go

The Guitar Spirit

There's a guitar spirit in the air
She talks to me when I sleep
When I dream she's there
She's always flauntin' and tauntin'
and flingin' riffs I can't grip
She's on the tip of my tongue
So I SPIT
*spits*
There's a guitar spirit in the air
She plants a song in my brain
It drips out my ears
I'm always thrashin' and crashin'
Can't make that sound with these strings
I trade my pick for a fist
and it sounds like THIS
*classic mouth-guitar solo*
She's always right there by my side
Using my guitar to breath
She's always right there by my side
Using my mouth when she sings
She's always right here by my side
...I'll give her everything
Oh wait there's been a mistake my friends
You're not actually lookin' at Christian
Well you've had the pleasure of listenin' to
His guitar spirit sing for you!
*Spirit Laughs Maniacally*

Don't wake me up for the summer solstice
That's a day I could sleep through
Don't wake me up until the summer is gone
It's so long and hot it makes me wanna puke
She's says I'm too much like my father
She says its too much of a bother
I made a big mistake going for you again
Now I'm gunna pay yeah
I found another way to make my mistakes play
But now I'm gunna pay yeah
Yeah! I say Yeah!
I think no
Yeah! I say Yeah!
I think no
Culture breeds culture and
Hope breeds hate
We forgive without forgetting
Never forget
That the stars up above us
That we pray to and wish to are
Just dead stars...........
Yeah! I say Yeah!
I think no
Yeah! I say Yeah!
I think no

Waitin' for the grass to get a little greener
Everybody's money runs deeper than me
Her pretty little lies through her pretty little teeth
everybody's lookin' for a better tv
my god
the sun is gunna set
and someones gunna get
the greatest shot yet
but I'm gunna bet
that he didn't feel the warm air tickle up his arm
and he's got a picture frame where there should've been a heart
now he's climbing up the ladders, he's an internet star
begging for some meaning from his idiot-box/god
and he's never gunna get it cause he's never gunna be what he wants
and we're never gunna get it cause we're never gunna be what we want
and we're never gunna live it cause we're never gunna tell him to stop
make up you beliefs as you go
convince yourself of what you know
follow the arrows where they go
never consider what you know
Waitin' for the grass to get a little greener
Everybody's money runs deeper than me
Her pretty little lies through her pretty little teeth
everybody's lookin' for a better tv
my god
now think about a girl
a reputable girl
the most beautful girl
in the whole damn world
Now try hard to forget
even she has got to shit
and you know its gunna stink
so I can't help but to think
about all the little men
thinkin' shit belongs to them
chasin' some perfume
that's just trying to hide the true
women
And they're never gunna get it cause she's never gunna be what they want
and she's never gunna get it cause she's never gunna be what she wants
and we're never gunna live it cause we're never gunna tell them to stop
make up you beliefs as you go
convince yourself of what you know
follow the arrows where they go
never consider what you know
Waiting for the grass to get a little greener
