SWEAT IT OUT

take this match and burn the land
you always try to fake your way to understand
these eyes are closed, still i can see
don't you ever try and turn your back on me
this room is dim, the house ablaze
of all the times you ever thought you'd be amazed
these stones i throw, they don't make a sound
i can't bring your down - you gotta sweat it out

seven screams or a silent bell? one and the same
the water in your eyes, can never tell
these twisted bones don't make you weak
but you can feel it in your gut
and you can barely speak
the door flies open, the walls cave in
and as you stare, you see the fears
of thirty thousand me
these stones i throw, they don't make a sound
i can't bring you down - you gotta sweat it out

the sun don't weep for all who pray
but the book the tears were shed for you the other day
in fields both tall, and wide, to speak
whre you lay beneath your flag on some forgotten creek
the history books, they don't give a name
burn all the pages, lies within their own shame
these stone i throw, they don't make a sound
i can't bring you down - you gotta sweat it out

these stone i throw
can't save my soul

-Spring 1998
