Hell or High Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 boogie man 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
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
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
