Hey up there / do you see me? / way down here / at my rock bottom / took the bad road / avoided the signs / ...and the advice / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / now I'm growing my fingernails long / to dig my way out / and everyone is angry / that I've nothing to give / talk behind my back / bout how stupid I've been / ... and for every winner / theres gonna be / someone / to lose it all / oh it's a pity / you're so ashamed / just look away / I've heard enough / I told you so's / it is what it is / lets call it consequence

Sacrifices / that you've made / caused by a / selfless agenda / so I've been told ... you can't escape what is home / just so you know / it's never too late to hope /
I've never felt so alive / I've never felt so deprived / when your mistakes become mine
apologies can never compete / with respect you're owed and have yet to recieve / I'm aware that I was ignorant / what I wouldn't give to go back / so many harmful thoughts to retract

Fill me in / I wanna know / Fill me in.
I wanna know whats making you so sure
that you can say forever
you and I both know
people's feelings change
so how can you
be so sure
to say forever
to claim forever
don't get me wrong .. I'm so happy
for.. you both
don't get me wrong
but fill me in
I gotta know
whats making you so sure
I think I think you're brave
and optimistic
todays the day
I think you're brave.

Bended knee / nine years old / waitin' for.../ just one word!
I was thinkin' of all the things / my daddy told me of
sin and salvation and / manhood and dignity...
all that time / in the dark / just one word...backslider!
I remember the day I stepped / into the water
my daddy held me in his hands / and pushed my head under / and said...
son I am / so proud. / just one word...backslider!
well I opened my eyes / and my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water / and thought I saw Jesus, and then...
well I threw up my hands!
and I heard, Amen! / and I prayed, sweet Jesus
don't let me become a backslider!

A Question of Ethics

Wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life
wondering if you thought twice / about anything in your life
did you think news wouldnt' reach my ears?
i'm educated and my resources / are nearly unlimited
you said you've got yourself a ghost
far fetched imagination you must have / to think that I'd be had
I'm amused / it's clear! .. neglect was a factor
in the courtroom's decision making process
I ... I wont deny / I ... I dropped the dime
and if I had a dollar / I'd do it ten more times
drop off the face of the earth / I wont lose sleep at night
