If I trust myself, and in my strength
I'll be in the desert with nothing to drink
I'll live in the wilderness, so far and so alone
And I won't help myself, so hot and yet so cold
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
If my heart departs and I turn away
Then I will be cursed from the absence of my faith
Lord without your help I'm drowning in the sea
And I won't help myself, I can't move and I can't breathe
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire

My soul simply wont bleed
Coal blackened walls surround my scene
Hardened, callous ive been stung by bees
Forfeited courage keeps me in need
And i need your soul in black, trust you rape and left me to see
My soul attacked it's innocence deaf and dumb
I cant hear the shit been preached to me
Losses i cound, you rip through from my mind
And take my thoughts from me
My mind, my space inside im lost replaced bliss with catastrophy
Heaven sends to you the seed my mind recieves and accepts deceit
My acceptence sometimes disturbing
My appearence shows no sympathy
Me in this state of mind my balance off balance but i push through this dark
Time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines
Each tie that binds represents another
Dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
I know that there is no esacape for me
This sweating i dont mind
Just fused with insanity
Dark time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines
Each tie that binds represents another
Dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
...in my life
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague
Hardened, callous ive been stung by bees
Forfeited courage keeps me in need
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague

Who'd of ever thought to
call that coal?
If my hands were warm then I might
I don't know
I keep panning
and in my reach it
Hangs on
Water falls down
There's no gold in this barren town
"Used to be a man could make his way
with a barrel full of this black coal"
half certain you'd say
but in my reach it
Hangs on
Water falls down
There's no gold in this barren town.
Look at every angle
and draw a square
find some nut you can instead untighten
Watch me in the corner
with a pair
under certain pressure
ace, a diamond
So run your fingers down my back
you'd make such a cool distraction
cause in my reach it
Hangs on
yeah, the walls down
but there's no gold
there's a line drawn and crossed
by the banks.
By the way
water falls down
there's no gold in this barren town.

COAL
The pillars of the world were shaking like the legs of a drunk
Hot winds ripped the hats off all the ladies all about town that day
Then they caught us ran us ragged beat us bloody put us in a dirty cage
Now we’re screaming bloody murder we are starving won’t see the ocean side again
Continents and mountain ranges boats out in the harbor,
rivers clouds and cities all aflame
the sun went out the sky went red the horses our dancing in their skins
the taste of ash and sulfur on our lips
Where is my boy, where is my son. I seem to have lost him in the crowd,
he was holding to my hand just a moment ago
I know he cannot find his way he is so small he is so lean he looks like
a scrap of paper on a branch
I am flesh and you are pale, I am sleeping you are dead,
we’re all playing cards as the ship goes down
We’re living as if we are not, hanging from a precipice,
shuddering and lurching off the edge
But someday this will all be gone, as fast a match can be struck,
take warning for the veil is very thin
The signs aren’t difficult to read: we tread so heavy on the ground
and one day the ground it may give way.
I see you gilded gentlemen, I wish I’d set a torch to you while I still
had the freedom of my legs. I do not trust you with my life,
I do not trust you with my past I do not trust your hands upon the world.
But now I’m sunken in the ground, all my strength to move is gone and
screaming is the last recourse that I have, you’ve left us with a barren
earth, we know we are the aching land,

I stared into the eyes
of the deep black coal
and I knew that it knew
what I did know I knew
My mother she was a whore
she was lost before I was born
My father I barely knew when he took me by the hand and told me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
then he kicked away the chair
Black blue bruises on my hips
something smeared beneath my lips
a blister on my knee
and a ringing in my ears tells me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
their not coming back for you
hold on, hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I've got coal inside my pocket
Hold on
I've got coal inside my bed
Hold on
I've got coal inside my home
Hold on
I've got coal inside my head
