For the time being I will still avoid my own questions And we both bury that history deep But you know I can hold my breath forever For the time being You are still a perfect reminder of what All of these scars on my arms are for If I can hold myself together And I choke myself on sacred vapour Waiting on some holy favour Basking in the solace of regret And it seems my hell is your high water Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves When the mouth of infinity Buries its teeth in me I'll smile through the agony for you And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence And you'll never bear the weight of two And I choke myself on sacred vapour Waiting on some holy favour Basking in the solace of regret And it seems my hell is your high water Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves For the time being I will admit my defeat again I will accept that I can't pretend We will ever be together I can't hold myself together

I wasn't the strong one 'Til we were falling apart Promised I'd hold you When everything went dark But God, it's so dark out Still feel you in my bed I wish I could hold you But I'm holding my breath instead I hate that I lost you when I'm not lost anymore And I hate that I've got to let go of what I adore And now I'm in high water without you, without you Now I'm in high water without you, without you I'm tired of replaying Memories in my head Replaying everything Everything you've ever said I'm holding in pain that I Never knew I could have Like when you wrote me that note saying I was your other half And I hate that I lost you when I'm not lost anymore And I hate that I've got to let go of what I adore And now I'm in high water without you, without you Now I'm in high water without you, without you High water, high water High water, high water I miss you so much Now I'm in high water And now I'm in high water without you, without you

Lee: "It was very close, yesterday, I thought for sure, they would break But this attack, that I have planned A massive strike across open land In the center, they will break (will they break?) But plan it well, everything's at stake We'll hit 'em hard, not a silent gun Before the infantry's begun "Execute it well, We risk everything" "It's in God's hands now" Longstreet: "General Lee, I must tell you straight I believe this attack will fail No 15, 000 men ever made Will overtake that ridge today A mile charge over open ground With yankee cannon gunnin' us down" Lee: "We do our duty, we do what we must And in my plan, you will trust" (Thousands die, On this day) "Execute it well, We risk everything" "It's in Gods hands now" The rebel cannon break the silence 150 guns make up their cannonade They must destroy the union center Before the infantry can launch their grand assult The yankees are returning fire (The earth shakes violently) In Washington D.C. Lincoln feels the earth shake What happens here this day The fate of this nation In the balance it will hang Consumed with the pain The courage of the blue The valour of the grey So very sad but true Consumed with the pain The Virginians are the chosen In wait behind the trees on Seminary Ridge Longstreet's slow to give the orders The lines emerge, a mile, 15, 000 men The charge begins in all its granduer (To the copse of trees) For many of these men, they know it is their last The slaughter now ensues Bodies fall like rain They valiantly pursue Yet doomed to remain At the double quick they charge The canister rips through them To the mouth of hell they march Glory, the only gain Armistead: "We're almost there my boys I've never served with finer We must push forward boys And bayonet the yankee tyrants To the copse of trees we charge To crush the union center And when they turn and run An open road leads us to freedom" Lee: "It's over now we are retreating I never thought that we'd be beaten All this blood is on my hands The thousands dead due to my plan I am responsible, all of it is my fault I thought us invincible Is this God's will after all? I look across this blood soaked land All this blood is on my hands God forgive me, please forgive me It's all my fault, the blood is on my hands"

Oh yeah Trip the wires down around my feet Setting fires up and down the street Calling shotgun with no one at the wheel Hiding from the boogieman because I broke the deal Hang man is coming and he's killing on command Can't hide away It's too late to pray Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand From his hand Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) Face the demons that turn against your soul Junkie heathens swallowing you whole Pulling stitches from wounds that never bled Running from the maniac that lives inside your head The day Is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins For his sins Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) We look inside to see our battle scars As we hide from who we really are Swim against the river underneath the tide We're all just floating bodies filling up inside The day Is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins For his sins Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi) Don't need someone to save me (I'll be there come hell or high water) Can't break the will he gave me (Come the hell or high-yi-yo) (Don't need someone to save me) I'll be there come hell or high water (Can't break the will he gave me) Come the hell or high-yi (Don't need someone to save me) I'll be there come hell or high water (Can't break the will he gave me) Come the hell or high-yi-yo

Smoke em if you got em, Drink your glasses to the bottom, And toast me on another year. Another year of hope, Another year of holdin on, You drinkers by day, and bastards by dawn. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. Gather round friends and neighbors, Who make your living by labor, And share with me this little time. This little time that we have left, To have a drink and catch a breath, Well it might just be what saves our lives. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. Smoke em if you got em, Drink your glasses to the bottom, And listen to the howling dogs, And oh how it pleases me, To be in such company And im so glad our paths have crossed. And I hope I will see you soon, And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon. And Ill be home come hell or high water, And I know i will see you soon.
