Stones

There are no secrets in this city of angels
Only stories sold concealing fears
They sent me out of their board room
They know I was trouble found
The man, said, "Run, do not walk
If you breakdown"

From my window I watch
The children play in the street
But it feels like December
In this August heat
I remember a…

I remember a time
When these veins were thirsting
With a prayer of penetration
And a heart near bursting
I embraced this transcendent lie of no hope
And collapsed on myself
Like a human black hole

Don't ask me to sing
Like a caged pet canary
When I'm burning for freedom
Not just sanctuary

Somebody
Somebody, roll away the stone
Yeah, yeah
Somebody, roll away the stone

I had a vision last night
The old man died in a broken shack
While many miles away here in L.A
I only felt the warm sun on my back

As I lay in the suite
They were known to provide
I felt a long dark shroud
Lowering down inside me

Then I opened up my window
Uncovered my eyes
And I let out a scream
From behind this disguise
And the warm sun burned hot
My wounds were cauterized
And it burned away scars
The mask that could never hide

Let the wind and the rain
Blow these four walls to hell
Someone hold me come morning

Somebody, whoo!
Somebody roll away the stone
Help me, hold me, help me
Somebody roll away the stone
Yeah, yeah

There are no secrets in this city of angels
Only stories told revealing fears

I am David
I would murder the innocent
To have what I desired
I am Peter
Who would drown out of fait
When He walked upon the water
Black as coal, yet made white as snow
By the red, red blood
The red, red blood
There are no secrets, there are no secrets
