Glass Houses - Beyond The Shore

I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God Cover your ears and shut your eyes 'Cause what I'm about to say is gonna ruin your night This is a call-out, and I'm not scared to drop some names You've dug your grave, and you have no one but yourself to blame I see the world in black and white Because true color always fades under the right lights I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God And when he has you by your neck I hope you choke on every fucking word you said You've run out of luck, and I'm calling your bluff You stabbed me in the back, but not deep enough But not deep enough I see through you I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God And when he has you by your neck I hope you choke on every fucking word you said I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God And when he has you by your neck I hope you choke on every fucking word you said You said I'd never make it, you said I'd fall on my face But now I'm right where I belong, and I put you in your place You said I'd never make it, you said I'd make a mistake But now I'm right where I belong, and you've got nothing to say I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God And when he has you by your neck I hope you choke on every fucking word you said I see through you, I know what you are I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God And when he has you by your neck I hope you choke on every fucking word you said You stabbed me in the back but not deep enough

Wandering, weightless I'm empty, I'm faded Stumbling, nameless I'm falling, failing, faithless I won't fade away to nothing If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? Freezing, frameless I'm tempting fate with Saying nothing I won't fade away to nothing I won't fade away to nothing If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? I'm wandering, I'm weightless I'm failing, I'm faithless Descending to madness I'm taken for granted I'm wondering and worthless Deserving, deserted Defeated, defended Forgive me Forget it If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay?

Come forth, oh, concealer of my demise Speak true, will I expire before sunrise? A sacrifice, I offer my soul for you to keep in return of my life So that I may reap, for I may reap Look where I lay reduced to hospital fodder Broken down while slowly breaking down I've never been one to beg or to reason with an inevitable dismay But here I am a broken man with an offering to make Every waking moment is filled with only agony Here I lay for my soul to take This is my only option, this is my sacrifice Whoever can hear my cry of reason My soul is here to take Finally at peace Finally at ease No longer alive to beg and plead my physical form left for the worms My memory left like photos for you to burn And who could imagine that I'd be begging here like this For one more chance for a life more than this And whom ever chooses to answer my call and plea I offer you my life even if I must bleed I sway between the balance, I denounce from the light I'll conquer the blackest corners I beg of you to restore my life I denounce from the light Look where I lay reduced to hospital fodder Broken down while slowly breaking down I've never been one to beg or to reason with an inevitable dismay But here I am a broken man with an offering to make Take my soul Return me a new I will become The alpha and omega Take my soul Return me a new I will become The alpha and omega Every waking moment is filled with only agony Here I lay for my soul to take This is my only option, this is my sacrifice Whoever can hear my cry of reason My soul is here to take Finally at peace Finally at ease No longer alive to beg and plead my physical form left for the worms My memory left like photos for you to burn And who could imagine that I'd be begging here like this For one more chance for a life more than this And whom ever chooses to answer my call and plea I offer you my life even if I must bleed And who could imagine that I'd be begging here like this For one more chance for a life more than this And whom ever chooses to answer my call and plea I offer you my life even if I must bleed

There was a fair maid and she lived all alone She lived all alone on the shore No one could she find for to calm her sweet mind But to wander alone on the shore, shore, shore To wander alone on the shore There was a brave captain who sailed a fine ship And the weather being steady and fair I shall die, I shall die, this dear captain did cry If I can't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore If I can't have that maid on the shore After many persuasions they brought her on board He seated her down on his chair He invited her down to his cabin below Farewell to all sorrow and care Farewell to all sorrow and care I'll sing you a song, this fair maid did cry This captain was weeping for joy She sang it so sweetly, so soft and completely She sang the captain and sailors to sleep Captain and sailors to sleep She robbed them of jewels, she robbed them of wealth She robbed them of costly fine fare The captain's broadsword she used as an oar She rowed her way back to the shore, shore, shore She rowed her way back to the shore Oh the men, they were mad and the men, they were sad They were deeply sunk down in despair To see her go away with her booty so gay The rings and her things and her fine fare The rings and her things and her fine fare Well, don't be so sad and sunk down in despair And you should have known me before I sang you to sleep and I robbed you of wealth Well, again I'm a maid on the shore, shore, shore Again I'm a maid on the shore

Here I stand, watching the tide go out So all alone and blue Just dreaming dreams of you I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea Taking all my dreams And taking all of me The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
