He's Victorious - Rob Reed

I hear 'em talk to me, but they're not listening Their words are kerosene They don't know who I am, they'd never understand What it's like to be me I don't wanna be here, so stuck inside Tell me, how long have I been here? I'm losing track of time In all this loneliness and all this emptiness Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Can't change this overnight, though Heaven knows I tried Here I go again I need a savior now, someone to break me out Who's been the place I've been Don't wanna be forgotten when I'm dead and gone I just wanna be the one who got up and came back strong High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Help me 'cause I'm falling when I can't sleep But I'm holding on, can't face this night alone In all this loneliness and all this emptiness Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

They call you ecstasy Nothing ever sticks to you Not velcro, not scotch tape Not my arms dipped in glue Not if I wrap myself in nylon A piece of duct tape down my back Love pierced the arrow with the twelve And I can't get you back Ah, ecstasy Ecstasy Ah, ecstasy Across the streets an old Ford, they took off its wheels The engine is gone In its seat sits a box With a note that says, Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot I see a child through a window with a bib And I think of us and what we almost did The Hudson rocketing with light The ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night They call it ecstasy, ah Ecstasy Ecstasy, ah Ecstasy Some men call me St. Ivory Some call me St. Maurice I'm smooth as alabaster With white veins runnin' through my cheeks A big stud through my eyebrow A scar on my arm that says, Domain I put it over the tattoo That contained your name They called you ecstasy, ecstasy Ecstasy They call you ecstasy, ecstasy Ecstasy The moon passing through a cloud A body facing up is floating towards a crowd And I think of a time and what I couldn't do I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't, I couldn't become you They call you ecstasy, I can't hold you down I can't hold you up I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio No engine, no hood I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music And I hope that they can play But if we have to part I'll have a new scar right over my heart I'll call it ecstasy Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy Ecstasy Ecstasy, ecstasy Ecstasy

Here comes the ocean And the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean And the waves where have they been Don't swim tonight my love, the sea is mad my love It's known to drive men crazy Malcolm has burned at sea, the castle it sits and reeks The madness can make you hazy But here come the waves Down by the shore Washing the rocks that have been here Centuries or more Down by the sea Here come the ocean And the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean And the waves where have they been Castles glowing at night, towers above out fright Warlocks decapitating Malcolm he lives on hate, serve your brain on a plate Feasts on your mouth for dinner But here come the waves Down by the sea Washing the eyes of the men Who have died Down by the sea Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves
