The Key
We had it all, let it fall, the favor and the fortune
With another craving for distortion
By the day we find a way, birds of a feather, they fly together
And I see I'm soaring from this boring cage, mm-mm-mm-mm
But to break free has only been a dream
It's taking away all of my energy
I need a light to see so I can finally breathe
I gotta find the key
I've been searching for a peace of mind
Pride and certainty in truth I find
The soul is cold when the river's empty
So tell me these empty bones are dead inside
Only hope keeps us alive
The road is old and it's never ending
These empty bones are dead inside
Only hope keeps us alive
But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy
See, all this drinking got me thirsty
I feel me breaking, I can't escape it
I can't take the shame of mercy, hmm
But I'll follow what I'm searchin'
'Cause maybe it's suitable for moving on
And working through the hurting
But to break free has only been a dream
It's taking away all of my energy
I need a light to see so I can finally find the key
I've been searching for a peace of mind (I've been searching)
Pride and certainty in truth I find (soul is cold)
The soul is cold when the river's empty
So tell me (tell me) these empty bones are dead inside
Only hope keeps us alive
The road is old and it's never ending
These empty bones are dead inside
Only hope keeps us alive
But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy
She paid her dues, she played those broken blues
Etta James, and her name came from the very same truth
Skip the youth, now it's things to do
Now it's cleaning up after you
And that's the music she sings to (it's hallelujah)
You know better than to walk in with all the sin you're holding in
They said to leave it at the door, they said pain no more
She said, "But I got somethin' I'm fighting for
Whatchu mean pain no more?" Play the chord
Melodies playing her like chess
She's taking deep breaths
She takes a beating to the chest
And there's no finessing this stress
Demons try to tell her what's next
She says, "I just want you to be blessed, blessed?
With another craving for distortion
