Tell Me - Matisyahu

Staring at the page

Searching for a song

Hoping for a way

Staring at the sky

When I walk by

you may lose your way

Grounded for a time

So make way

For the waves as they break

Unravel down the line

Like we traveling in time

So come we gonna lead the blind

Cause my heart still hears the cries

Of my crimes

Mixed with blood and tears

You been fighting all these years

Tell me what the reason

Your heart is frozen

You’re tired of loosing

Your path is chosen

Tell me where you holding

Where you going so fast

Been tied up in emotion

But I’m trying to make this last

Say goodbye to the high

Say hello to the low

Say hello to your friends and the people that you choose

And I can’t intoxify

Say goodbye to the foe

Too much on the line

to spend your time

chasing after all of those

Try to find a way

to walk the middle road

For now it’s me

In a house full of boys

37 years old

Demons stayin at bay

And the ghosts they went away

Sittin back on my porch as the day grows short and I watch my children play

Tell me what the reason

Your heart is frozen

You’re tired of loosing

Your path is chosen

Tell me where you holding

Where you going so fast

Been tied up in emotion

But I’m trying to make this last

Say goodbye to the highs

Say hello to the lows

So many different shades

So many different flows

Seen so much clearer

Been paid the toll

Hurricane

When the haze clears and you find yourself

Back in the day

And raindrops

Of a past glory

I’m reaching but I can’t touch them stories

Of my life seem trite

After me

What she sees in me

And the wipers up and on the glass

Keep my sights intact

To the river

Thoughts hush

Of memories

Of a past glory

Of a past glory

I’m reaching

But I can’t touch them stories

Of my life

Seem trite

But not

New day New light

New year same fight

New lows new highs

Same fear inside
