Debts to Pay - JT Music

I’m not a righteous man

I’m not a holy man

But I’ll be damned if that damnation

Leads my lamb astray

I reckon heaven ain’t no place for angels anymore

Hang up your worn-out halo

Spread your withered wings and soar

Just fake a leap of faith

Forget how far from grace you’ve fallen

Come find familiar faces down below among the sodom

In fact I’ve found that lookin' down’s an act you may regret

Unless the thought of fallin' to your death don’t phase you yet

You’re gamblin' on your Lady Luck, already placed your bet

That when you find that special girl, then you may wipe away your debt

The false shepherd’s steppin' onto our land

Lookin' to stop her from drownin' in flame the mountains of man

Instead I bet she’ll get it done with holy water

And by the end I know she’ll cleanse her filthy rotten Father

But even if one door closes, I know an infinite open

The Great Chain ain’t even made yet and it’s already been broken

If you step through a tear I hope that you know where you’re goin'

'Cuz you just unlocked the cage, upon the songbird’s wings you’re soarin'

Beware the foreign hordes, everyone check your class

You were born to solely play the role with which you have been caste

Is that an inner monologue in your head?

You’re only chasin' your tail, soon you’re gonna see yourself dead

When you play dirty

You’ll never win

So just hold your breath, I’ll hold your head and wash off your sins

Break the circle, shake off your chains

Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out

And bring down the rain

You may not be scared to meet your maker

But this girl you’re sure afraid of

Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay

So hold your breath and pray

Now watch your Eden become home to demons after all

'Cuz grace is nothing but a place from which we’re meant to fall

So take a taste of your forbidden fruit

Embrace yourself

Now welcome home, I’ve made your sacred Heaven into Hell

If thine alignment is with Vox Populi, pity

Upon thy soul, thou demon devil in our white city

I should know for with the high divines, I’m privy

Hold your Bible tight, without the good book, I might outwit thee

Are you salty, jealous of my vigor?

I’ve an army, I need not touch my finger to a trigger

You curse our fertile earth, holy and hallowed it may be

I don’t mean to open old wounds, how’s an arrow to the knee?

I’m playin' dirty, but I can’t win

So I’ll hold my breath, you hold my head and wash off my sins

Break the circle, shake off your chains

Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out

And bring down the rain

You may not be scared to meet your maker

But this girl you’re sure afraid of

Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay

So hold your breath and-

O Father, you’ve sewed your seeds

The land, you’ve tilled

If you could see La Vie en Rose, my looks could kill

While time is flyin' by, I’m standin' still

I’d ask you to dance, but I know you will

Break the circle, shake off your chains

Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out

And bring down the rain

You may not be scared to meet your maker

But this girl you’re sure afraid of

Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay

So hold your breath and pray
