We had it all, let it fallThe favor and the fortuneWith another craving for distortionBy the day, we find a wayBirds of a feather, they fly togetherAnd I see I'm soaring from this boring cageBut to break free has only been a dreamIt's taking away all of my energyI need a light to seeSo I can finally breatheI gotta find the keyI've been searching for a piece of mindPride and certainty and truthI find the soul is cold when the river's emptySo tell meThese empty bones are dead insideOnly hope keeps us aliveThe road is old and it's never endingThese empty bones are dead insideOnly hope keeps us aliveBut the soul is gold when the heart is healthySee all this drinking got me thirstyI feel me breaking, I can't escape itI can't take the shame of mercyBut I follow what I'm searchingCause maybe it's suitable for moving onAnd working through the hurtingBut to break free has only been a dreamIt's taking away all of my energyI need a light to seeSo I can finally find the keyI've been searching for a piece of mindPride and certainty and truthI find the soul is cold when the river's emptySo tell meThese empty bones are dead insideOnly hope keeps us aliveThe road is old and it's never endingThese empty bones are dead insideOnly hope keeps us aliveBut the soul is gold when the heart is healthyShe paid her dues, she played those broken bluesEtta James and her name came from the very same truthSkip the youth, now it's things to doNow it's cleaning up after youAnd it's the music she sings toIt's hallelujahYou know better than to walk inWith all the sin you're holding inThey said to leave it at the doorThey said pain no moreShe said but I got something I'm fighting forWhat you mean pain no morePlay the chordMelodies play in her like chessShe's taking deep breathsShe takes a beat into the chestAnd there's no finesse in this stressDemons try to tell her what's nextShe says I just want you to be blessedBlessed
