GTH Album Lyrics

Follow Me Down

Since I met you I've been crazy
Since I've been with you I've been lost
You make everything see hazy
Love comes with such a cost

Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?

Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees

So follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees

Nights avoiding things unholy
Your hand slips across my skin
I go down on you so slowly
Don't confess none of your sins

Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?

Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees

So follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees

When you're young you always take what you can get
Even bicycles and sprinklers get you wet
Now I know that there's a different way to die
My body breathes
Heart still beats
But I am not alive

Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees

Follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees

Young love as sweet as can be

Going to Hell

Don't bless me Father for I've sinned

Father did you miss me?
I've been locked up a while
I got caught for what I did
But took it all in style

Laid to rest all my confessions
I gave way back when
Now I'm versed in so much worse
So I am back again

And he said

For the lines that i take, I'm going to hell
For the love that I make, I'm going to hell

Gettin heavy with the devil you can hear the wedding bells

Father did you miss me?
Don't ask me where I've been
You know I know
Yes I've been told I redefine a sin

I don't know whats driving me
To put this in my head
Maybe I wish I could die
Maybe I am dead!

And he said

For the lives that I fake, I'm going to hell
For the vows that I break, I'm going to hell

For the ways that I hurt while I'm hiking up my skirt
I am sitting on a throne while they're buried in the dirt
For the man that I hate, I'm going to hell

Gettin heavy with the devil you can hear the wedding bells

Please forgive me Father
I didn't mean to bother you
The devil's in me Father
He's inside of everything I do

For the life that I take, I'm going to hell
For the laws that I break, I'm going to hell
For the love that I hate, I'm going to hell
For the lies that I make, I'm going to hell

For the way I condescend
and never lend a hand
My arrongance is making this head buried in the sand
For the souls I forsake, I'm going to hell

Gettin married to the devil you can hear the wedding bells

Heaven Knows

Jimmy's in the back with a pocket high
If you listen close you can hear him cry

Oh Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below

Judy's in the front seat pickin' up trash
Living on the dole gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty won't be sweet
She's just sittin' there on her feet singing'

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Go
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways

One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Start you life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell him its good
Tell him okay
Don't do a god damn thing they say

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I've seen better days, man
I've had better days

Gina's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear the crying

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below

Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

House on a Hill

Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain

In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will

But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will

Somewhere in the end we're all insane
To think a light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain

In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will

I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade and I will, I will

In this house on a hill
The dead are living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will

Sweet Things

Evil—knockin' at my door
Evil—making me its whore
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

Evil wants you to know
I'm much too young to be old
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen

I don't mind decay
You are the knight that saves my day

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe

I'm evil knocking at your door
I'm evil making you my whore
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

[4x]
Hey where you goin'?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you

I am like decay
I rot the ground that guides your way, oh

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen

How you like me now?
Did I succeed and make you proud?

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe

----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sister

Dear sister, can you help me lie?
I’ve told the truth so many years
No one seems to want to hear that
I’m not someone else inside
I’ve been along this lonely road
Looks like I’m not coming home
But I don’t mind
Please don’t cry

----------------------------------------------------------
Absolution 

Jump into the sun
Dear boy what are you running from
Everyone has got to be saved
I have heard a voice if it came down to make a choice
I would be the one who’s replaced

Time keeps rolling on
I need my
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution

Run boy be a man
With legs too weak to make a stand
We're all crucified in the end
Can you hear a voice
Decipher it through all this noise
You'll be left with nothing again

Time keeps rolling on
I need my
[x3]
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution

Jump into the sun
Dear boy what are you running from
The answer you will find in your grave

Time keeps rolling on
I need my
But time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution

[x2]
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution

[x3]
Boys on the outside of heaven
But I could be wrong

----------------------------------------------------------
Blame Me 

Sittin’ in the back
Baby park it or drive
Breathing out the cracks just to stay alive
Earthquake body shake joke is all on me
I remember when I remember the time
Didn't have to take just to feel alive
Eyes black head back joke is all on me

Blame all your life on me [x2]
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me
All on me, oh [x2]

Everything I wanted was in my hand
I gave it all up for a better man
Who beat me down but on the ground I stand
Sitting in the back baby hardly alive
If I'm about to crack kick the pedal and drive
All this time the joke was all on me
Blame all your life on me
Just blame all your life on me
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me

Hit me with the wind again hit me with the wind I know
I have lost a friend again I have lost a friend I know how the
Story goes

Blame all your life on me [x2]
Cus I gave it all for free
So blame all your life on me
All on me, oh [x2]
It’s all on me, oh
All on me, oh

----------------------------------------------------------
Burn

Here comes the darkness
It's eating on my soul
Now that the spark has
Run out of control
This fire is raging
I can't find the door
I just want to die here
But you wanted more

You want me to burn
Want me to burn
Want me to hurt
And maybe I will finally learn

Here comes the darkness
It's eating on my brain
Now that the light has
Driven me insane
This fire is blazing
And I'm still inside
I just want to die here
You won't let me out alive

You want me to burn
Want me to burn
Want me to hurt
And maybe I will finally learn

----------------------------------------------------------
Why’d You Bring a Shotgun to the Party?

Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made
Sittin' in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom
You think
Then you start to drink
And you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with
Then boom

Does it make you feel like a man? Boom
It’s not the size we understand, boom
You think you’re gonna get with me
You’re never gonna get with me
You’re never gonna dance with me

I admit, I feel like you, like shit
But I don’t go round and take it out on everyone about it
We’re all part of the system
You wanna start a war you think that anyone would listen

Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody’s got one, there’s nothing new about it
You wanna make a statement you should have come without it

You turn the TV on, watch it if you dare
You see a politician and you start to pull your hair
But it's all two dimension see there’s really nothing there
You wanna tell them what you think you think they fuckin' care
And boom

Do you think they hear you now? And boom
Making noises in the crowd
All in the way that you use it
If you love it so much then why do you abuse it?

Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody’s got one, there’s nothing new about it
You wanna make a statement you should have come without it

We’re all part of the system
Load'm up, shoot'm down
But you keep fucking missing

Alone afraid you wanna make them pay that's

Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party
Everybody’s got one, there’s nothing new about it
You wanna get the girl then you should have come without it

Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why’d you bring a shotgun to the party?

Fucked Up World 

Back door bitches begging me to behold
All their cash and cars platinum silver’n gold
We're like ‘diamonds in the sky’ that is what we are told
No mountain made of money can buy you a soul

I can see it [x3]
Coming down
I can see it [x3]
Coming down

It's a fucked up world
What do you get
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette
It’s a fucked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette [x2]

Banging little boys bugging me on the bus
Say they want to know who did it but the answer's really us see
I don't know you why do you want to know me
You ain't gettin what you want unless you're getting it for free

I can feel it [x3]
Coming down
I can feel it [x3]
Coming down

It's a fucked up world
What do you get
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette
It’s a fucked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette [x3]

Back to these backdoor bitches begging me to behave
Jamming Jesus down my throat note I don't want to be saved
Ain’t a chain on my brain I'm nobody's slave
I got one foot in the cradle and one in the grave

It's a fucked up world
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette
It’s a fucked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette [x3]

It's a fucked up world [x11]
Sex and love and guns light a cigarette [x8]

Waiting for a Friend

The night is when
The ghosts all come out
Playin’ with my head
Spin it all around
This room is like a prison cell
I'm all by myself
I'm waiting for my friend
To come and break me out

You left me today
Lyin’ on the floor
I wanted you to stay
Seems you wanted more
This bed is like a prison cell
I'm all by myself
Still waiting for my friend
To come and break me out

There's stone cold bars on my door
For this stone cold heart

Some people say
Life is like a lie
Take it day by day
Never knowing why
My head is like a prison cell
I'm all by myself
I'm waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
Still waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
