[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar with alternating bass] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] Che-che-che-may I'm on my own Che-che-che-you keep it all that way Che-don't-know-I'm-mad-at-you-all-along But I feel this time it's oh so wrong [Chorus] But the Gods are holding us so strong As we fly away from hell to hope When it sounds freedom is in our sight When I hear this word alone, alone, alone [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar continues fingerpicking pattern] [Verse 2] Che-don't-wait-to-lock-it-in-my-tool I don't want to be the one to hold I got nothing else to breath away But you sound like you want to stay And this time I'll load it on my back As you'll hear you got nowhere else to go Understand the levees break so fast And the flood is moving along the ways [Bridge] [vocals shift to higher register, more strained] Oh, won't you know Oh, shall you go Away from me Oh, seems to grow I don't know [Outro] [vocals return to baritone] Che-che-che-you might be care alone Che-che-che-you hold it all the way Understand the murder of all hopes And I said understand the way you ought to be Taking out a knife and want to bleed Want to cry [vocalizing rhythmic syllables] Che-che, che-che, che-che-che-che Che-che, che-che, che-che-che-che Oh Che-che, che-che, che-che-che-che Che-che, (bup-bup), che-che-che-che Che-che, che-che, che-che-che-che Che-che, che-che, che-che-che-che [guitar fades out]
