Noises I play within my head Touch my own skin and hope that I’m still breathing And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I’m alone And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong And dreaming when they’re gone. ’Cause they’re calling calling calling me home Calling calling calling home. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine It when I’m alone. 15) HIGH FOR THIS Capo II You don’t know what’s in store But you know what you’re here for Close your eyes Lay yourself beside me Hold tight for this ride We don’t need no protection Come alone We don’t need attention Open your hand Take a glass Don’t be scared I’m right here Even though you don’t roll Trust me boy You wanna be high for this Take it off You want it off ’Cause I know what you’re feeling It’s okay boy I feel it too Let it beat baby breathe I swear I’m right here We’ll be good; I promise We’ll be so good Open your hand Take a glass Don’t be scared I’m right here Even though you don’t roll Trust me boy You wanna be high for this 16) RITUAL We’re right into a place of fire We hold our heads up high tonight And we breathe the smoke of fear we owe We let our hearts upside tonight But in my scarred skin cause I know I’ve sinned And it plagued the air on my house Ruben There’s a sound of him in the darkest words And I know my own fears I understand Chorus: It’s a ritual I know you feel it It’s a ritual I know you’ve seen it It’s a ritual I know you feel it You feel it you feel it you feel it Into the death and shoots as far Too late to be with you’d from high You see it’s a thought those guys was he Dm Am Our faith he’ll hear our cries a ghost And he won’t stop here acting with my fear There’s a raging fire and it burns so mean But I’m ready now but I’m ready now Chorus: It’s a ritual I know you feel it It’s a ritual I know you’ve seen it It’s a ritual I know you feel it You feel it you feel it you feel it 17) IN MY CITY Intro: And if I ever had a wish in the whole world I would’ve listened to my brother when he spoke to me Am C And I never would’ve played with my conscience Em D And it feels what the way I want in their company But You gave me wings and I used them Em D I used them I used them on my youth Am C And You gave me wings and I used them Em D I used them and I won’t lose them Now I found my feet down to 1 2 3 G C And I’m taking off tonight now I’m free As I walk my feet on the cold dark green And I and I and I Chorus I fulfill my dreams when I’m in my city I follow my needs for my for my city We’re going off the dream in my in my city And that’s where I’ll stay And that’s where I’ll stay In my city Rolling down the streets in my new town With the lights blinding and my heart played down I think I’m glad that you’ll receive people’s thunder But the folks back home I’ll make them vouch But You gave me wings and I used them G C I used them I used them on my youth And You gave me wings and I used them I used them and I won’t lose them Chorus I fulfill my dreams when I’m in my city I follow my needs for my for my city We’re going off the dream in my in my city And that’s where I’ll stay And that’s where I’ll stay In my city Shoulders end for wanting wings My city shakes the feel in me Chorus I fulfill my dreams when I’m in my city I follow my needs for my for my city We’re going off the dream in my in my city And that’s where I’ll stay And that’s where I’ll stay 18) WITHOUT YOUR LOVE Sooner or later I’ll be heading home Sooner or later I’ll be on my own June into summer; I’ll wear out my shoes June into summer; got nothing to lose Without your love I’m getting somewhere Without your love I’m getting somewhere (x8) Move in the sun ’til I burn all my ties Maybe they’re scratching the watery eyes I think I’ve been waiting for this all my life Coldest dark kisses left frozen in time Without your love I’m getting somewhere (x4)
