Pull my heart out, reconstruct.

Fear can drive stick
And it's taking me down this road
A road down which
I swore I'd never go
And here I sit
Thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit
I might self-destruct

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Usually I'll cause my own first hit
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story
Without all this descension
So I inflict the conflict
With the utmost of contemption

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Thank you God
For giving me the insight
So I might make
These wrongs right
If and when
There ever is a next time
Cause failure is a blessing in disguise

Pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
The shell of what I had when I first started

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
(When I first started)
(The shell of what I had when I first started)

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
to listen to the voice that told me
Always love…hate will get you every time
Always love…Don’t wait till the finish line

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out

Always Love…hate will get you every time
Always Love…even when you ought to fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it’d be like to
Aim so high above
Every card that has been dealt, you...

Always Love…hate will get you every time
Always Love…hate will get you…

I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said…
Hey, you could once.
Hey, you could once.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love…hate will get you every time
Always love…hate will get you…

I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.

A-Lee-Us

Dai Jesu achoinekwa, ndaizofara naye.
(If I could meet my Jesus, I would be very happy with Him.)
Dai Jesu achoinekwa, ndaizofara naye.
(If I could meet my Jesus, I would be very happy with Him.)

Taizofara naye.
(We would be happy with Him.)
Taizofara naye.
(We would be happy with Him.)

Dai Jesu achoinekwa, ndaizofara naye.
(If I could meet my Jesus, I would be very happy with Him.)
Dai Jesu achoinekwa, ndaizofara naye.
(If I could meet my Jesus, I would be very happy with Him.)

Taizofara naye.
(We would be happy with Him.)
Taizofara naye.
(We would be happy with Him.)

Kwaziwai.
(Hello.)
Kwaziwai.
(Hello.)

Makasimba here?
(Are you strong?)

Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.
(I'm strong if you're strong.)

Ndakasimba.
(I'm strong.)
Ndakasimba.
(I'm strong.)

Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.
(I'm strong if you're strong.)

You raise your head, you beat the sun
But your boys they lie so close to you
Do you dare get up and wake the two?

Oh Elias, I see you there, at work in the daytime.
Do you think you could answer
All the questions in the world in just one word?
I think you could.

'Cause If you die will I get word that you're gone?
Or will I hear it in passing conversation?
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground?
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found.

Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.

Honest and Manuel, well you know, they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
To see whats beyond Section 17.
And in ten years, when you look back at your boys,
well you know they've grown way taller
than the tallest sugar cane in the field.

If you die will I get word that you're gone?
Or will I hear it in passing conversation?
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground?
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found.

Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.
Hold my hand just one more time.
Hold my hand just one more time.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.

I see your wife. She stands stooped over by the fire outside.
And I see your boys. And when they look up,
you know i think they got their mother's eyes.
'Cause she looks so proud. She looks so happy.
She looks so proud. She looks so happy. Yeah...

If you die will I get word that you're gone?
Or will I hear it in passing conversation?
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground?
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found.

Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.

Hold my hand just one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
Hold my hand, one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
Dayah ya ya, yah yah yah, yah yah yah (Aya, Aya, Ayaahaha)

Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna meet me.

I typed this lefthanded

Take my hand to the promise land
And on You I want to stand
‘Cause I cannot do it on my own
You're what I need and I need to be
Right by Your side ‘cause I cannot hide
Lord, I know that I need You
Na na na na na na na na na, I need You
Na na na na na na na na na, I need You
Without You I'm so alone
I am weak but You are strong
You pick me up when I'm falling down
And I am crying
Out to You inside of my heart
I need You, Lord, oh so, for the part
I want You to have my life, Jesus
I fall to my knees
And I'm begging You, please, oh, Lord
Won't You change me
Make me new from the inside out
I want to shout out Your name
