Well, I got cuts on my hands, that I can't understand, that are leaving me here, yet no blood will appear.
Though I don't feel to low, I ain't got much of home and I'm sleeping away my dreams.
And the sky, it turns blue, with the sun and the moon, and it crackles your skin but your still cold within and it ain't worth losing home.
Well now James, I've been down this road before, it ain't filled with nothing more but wait.
Well now James, won't you trust me my dear friend, don't be coming here again, it ain't safe. It ain't safe.
Can you still feel a pulse? Is it going to slow? Is it starting to crack and scratch at your soul? Can you make it in time just to feel more alive or are you gone? Though it don't seem to bad, its a fool who's been had, when you start to feel good and you don't get to mad when they start to steal your soul.
Well now James, I've been down this road before, it ain't filled with nothing more but wait.
Well now James, won't you trust me my dear friend, don't be coming here again, it ain't safe. It ain't safe.
Don't you worry my friend, there's a moral in the end, if you just sit back and let it begin. If you just stay away from the sins on my hands, you may be okay. And, Sometimes it feels cool or you're just in the mood to go do something dumb but remember my son, though I have done all the things I have done, you still got a chance.
Well now James, I've been down this road before, it ain't filled with nothing more but wait.
Well now James, won't you trust me my dear friend, don't be coming here again, it ain't safe.
Well now James, I've been down this road before, it ain't filled with nothing more but wait.
Well now James, won't you trust me my dear friend, don't be coming here again, it ain't safe. It ain't safe.
