genesis

I was born in a little town that followed me around
If it ever was on top of a hill, it must have fallen down
I saw a place where kindness grows. That's where I was bound
I found a place to hide my dreams, but someone burned it down

As I child I could run, but now I've turned to stone
Once I thought I had some friends but they left me alone
Darkness fades into the light and soon it overcomes
The laughter of the misery is what we all called fun

And there's a place that's in my mind
Some folks search but never find
clothes your eyes and look again
I always knew you all were blind

Take a breath and have a seat
Look what we've become
Strangers all around this place
They speak in foreign tongue

And don't forget to save your money for a rainy day
And sharpen all of your swords, sacrifice the ones that pray
Keep all your treasures hid, the ones that you can't see
If they ever see the light they're useless to you and me

So now we're all out on the road, but the road is standin' still
Pack your lunch and alibi in case you have to kill
Fight the man in front of you and don't get left behind
The answers that you seek are always found in time

The only way that I'm up is when I'm feeling down
The only time I feel loved is when you're not around
Take these chains and tie me up, you don't have to try
Thoughtless sayings and better luck, no longer tears I cry

Abraham was just a man, blame him all on me
See the cross and the blood still I pay the fee
Sins sometimes weigh more than gold and cost you twice as much
Out of time and out of mind and sometimes out of touch
