SOMETHING FROM NOTHING Give me the flammable life I'm cold as a match ready to strike So here I go Here lies a city on fire Singing along the arsonist choir Now here I go It started with a spark And burned into the dark Now here I go There is a river I found Into the wild under the ground So here I go A button on a string And I heard everything Now I here I go Oh sweet ignition be my fuse You have no choice you have to choose Bid farewell to yesterday Say goodbye I'm on my way But in the end we all Come from what's come before So here I go Oh sweet ignition be my fuse You have no choice you have to choose Bid farewell to yesterday Say goodbye I'm on my way I threw it all away because I had to be what never was Been so hungry I could lie You took my word, I took your wine And held you with my bloody hands These rattled bones and rubber bands Washed them in the muddy water Looking for a dime and found a quarter But you can't make me change my name Will never make me change my name Pay no mind now ain't that something Fuck it all I came from nothing I'm something from nothing You are my fuse I'm something from nothing You are my fuse It goes It goes No you can't make me change my name You'll never make me change my name Pay no mind now ain't that something Fuck it all I came from nothing I'm something from nothing I'm something from nothing 02. THE FEAST AND THE FAMINE That night they were burning for truth Down on the corner of 14th and U They took your soul and they took you for fools Took all the windows from prisons and schools Now what's a poor man left to do? One heart now broken in two You start untying the hands of the youth New kids hear the sound of the drumming Mother Nature your summer is coming Yesterday and today Revolution on its way Amen, it was the feast and the famine Amen, it was the feast and the famine It was the feast and the famine The feast and the famine Crossroads with nothing to lose Out of the basement and into the news Come change now shit getting heavy Salvation at the ready You look when I walk by Still screaming till I die You can't find peace if you can't find a home You can't survive as an island alone Black heart with a gaping wound Put back together by a troubled groove Check yourself wreck your brains Where is that P.M.A? Amen, it was the feast and the famine Amen, it was the feast and the famine It was the feast and the famine The f east and the famine Hey where is the monument To the dreams we forget? We need a monument And a change will come Yeah change will come Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?) Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?) Amen, it was the feast and the famine Amen, it was the feast and the famine It was the feast and the famine Feast and the famine Amen, where is the monument To the dreams we forget? (Amen) We need a monument And a change will come And change will come Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?) Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?) 03. CONGREGATION I met the seventh son He came for everyone The day he heard the lightning in the field I heard him clear his throat A fork within the road That night the Tallahatchie took the wheel I've been throwing knives To see just where they'll land Now my world is in your hands Send in the congregation Open your eyes, step in the light A jukebox generation Just as you were The voice upon the stage Is a heart inside a cage And it's singing like a bluebird in the round There's mystery in this wood And ghosts within these roots That are tangled deep beneath this southern ground I've been going through life Making foolish plans Now my world is in your hands Send in the congregation Open your eyes, step in the light A jukebox generation Just as you were... Right? Just as you were... Just as you were... Alright! And you need blind faith No false hope No false hope Do you have blind faith? No false hope No false hope Where is your blind faith? No false hope No false hope Open your eyes Open your eyes Step into the light! Open your eyes, step into the light The sound becomes congregation A congregation A congregation A congregation Yeah! And they're singing like a bluebird in the round... 04.

OUTSIDE There you are dancing at your altar Beautiful earthling, blessed in kashmir All of your sound echoes through the canyons Down below they're dreaming Hear the sirens screaming Another time, another world Girls were boys and boys were girls Finding glitter in the litter Like a heart has got to move Everybody needs some room There's something out there There's a long straight road, out of the cold And we can leave it all behind I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside I wanna get outside, outside, of me All I found the space between the spaces Standing in the nothing and time reclaims you As the wind will beat you down And the wind the only sound There's something out there There's a long straight road, out of the cold And we can leave it all behind I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside I wanna get outside, outside, of me There's a long straight road, out of the cold And we can leave it all behind I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside I wanna get outside, outside, of me 06. IN THE CLEAR There are days I might not make it There are days I might start breaking When the rain starts coming down as heavy as the air You can find me dancing with the spirits in the square God damn I swear There are times I fell like giving in There are times I begin to begin again Look outside the world keeps spinning Like a paddle wheel Rolling for the broken hearted Waiting on the heal You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear There are places I don't remember There are faces I don't remember But how could I forget you painting stars into the sky Coming like a rebirth marching in a second line You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear In the clear And if I should drown May this be the sound To wash me out You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear You know I'm not in the clear You are not in the clear Don't you go count me out now dear In the clear In the clear 07.

I AM A RIVER There is a secret I found a a secret behind a Soho door There is a reason I found a reason beneath the subway floor I found the water the devils water And walked along its shore Is that what you want? The channel's changing, the heart is racing From voices on the wire The soul is yearning, the coal is burning The ember starts a fire Can we recover, love for each other The measure of your life Is that what you want? Is that what you really want? A river A river A river running underground A river A river Is that what you want? Is that what you really want? I, I, I am a river I, I, I am your river I, I, I am a river I, I, I am your river Is that what you want? Is that what you really want?
