Cinematic Way - Lyrics

1. Every Day I Fasten My Shackles
Every day I fasten my shackles and up the hill I go, Every day I fasten my shackles and up the hill I go, Some days the chains are heavy, Some days my arms are weak, But every day I fasten my shackles, and up the hill I go. They say God wrote the holy bible, I think I might believe, They say God wrote the holy bible, I think I might believe, Some days the words are heavy, Some days my eyes are weak, But they say God wrote the holy bible, and I think I might believe. If I can't be with you in this lifetime, I know I'll be alright, If I can't be with you in this lifetime, I know I'll be alright, Cause I don't mind suffering one thousand more, If I can't be with you in this lifetime I know I'll be alright. Every Day I fasten my shackles and up the hill I go. |
2. Tie Me Down
I drink a toast to anything I can't forget I offer it up to the holy lands that crushed me, I know you tried your best, but clearly that's no good to me now, I'll drink to the ones that died for me. I get so high from any friendly vibe, I offer it up to all of my oppressors, I know you knew no better, but clearly that's no good to me now, I'll fight for the ones who fight for me. Tie me down, but I won't surrender It's when I'm down that I can still fight, But don't leave me to my own devices, I'll just want to sleep it all away How I love all the ones who mean no harm, I offer them up to all the loves that failed me You never understood me, but clearly that's no good to me now, I'll lie with the ones that lie with me, Tie me down but I won't surrender, It's when I'm down that I can still fight, But don't leave me to my own devices, I'll just want to sleep it all away. I drink a toast to anything I can't forget. |

3. Westward I Went
There I was holding it all up to you on a silver platter, And you did what they all will do, You accused me of trickery, And you refused to believe, so I had to go, I had to go, And westward I went, Westward I went ... I bore a son, I buried him in joy and in sadness, And he did what they all will do, He followed me. I cried so hard, I cried so hard, I cried so hard, And westward I went, Westward I went. I married a fisherman, for worse and for better, And he did what they all will do, He went to far, and stayed so long, That I had to go, I had to go And westward I went. |
4. Cinematic Way
When I was young I must confess, I never pictured this, That this is what my life would look like now, But something keeps me wondering why it all looks so familiar, I've seen this all, I've seen this all before. I'm broken hearted in a cinematic way, I'm all alone, all alone, but I feel so pretty when I think of you. Well every time I turn around there's something else that's changed, all these moves that I don't anticipate. I learn from every lesson, and I atone for my misgivings, but you've heard it all before ... You're broken hearted in that cinematic way, I'm all alone, all alone but I feel so pretty when I think of you. |

5. These Days
Some days I can't tell if I want death or it wants me, so I keep smoking it passes the time away and I keep track of everything These days and these long lonely nights. There are those who see my beauty and I want for them to see my shadow, and there are those who point my shadow back at me, I want them either these days and these long lonely nights. Some days I can't tell if I want time to move fast or slow, and whichever way it goes, I want the other, so I keep counting, these days, and these long lonely nights. |
6. Foolish Thing
You made me go, when all I wanted was to stay, all I wanted was to stay, and feel some truth, to feel some truth, and to love all your flaws, I could have loved all your flaws so easily, You made me go, and when you made me go you made me look for something better, so I wouldn't miss you. You foolish thing you foolish thing, you made me look for something better, you foolish thing, you foolish thing, I could have loved all your flaws, you foolish thing, you foolish thing, you made me go. |

7. It's Ok
I fell in love with the saddest person that I know, other than me, I liked his smile, I liked his smile. I fell in love with a man who doesn't say, "I love you," well I don't either I liked his voice, I liked his voice It's ok, I don't mind at all, It's ok I don't mind at all I don't mind at all I fell in love with a man who expects no tomorrows, well I promise none ( x 2) I liked his style, I liked his style.. It's ok, I don't mind at all. |
8. Consider This
I think I was your guardian angel, I brought you away from and back to your true love, And I know I was stubborn when I tried to make you mine, I was afraid I would never find my own, Consider this, we fought about all the right things, I tried every way to show you there was some way of building a home to put around your claim, but you were the beast that bites the hand that feeds it, beating your wings against this golden cage I built Consider this we fought about all the right things You used to make me cry when you refused to give into my moods, your face so angry that my grief should implicate you someway, but I was so sure that your words were meant to me, I never knew you were so helpless in my pain. Consider this, we fought about all the right things. |

9. The Temple
I went to the temple and every step it hurt, and I cried lord, won't you carry me, I'm trembling now before you, there's blood on my hands but I did it all for you. Well only cold stone and only silence, only my beating heart and circling thoughts, I looked around and saw nothing there, nothing there, I'm facing the temple and I can't stand the glare, Well where is the water to wash away these grave mistakes, and where are the potions that make us all forget, where are the robes that are worn by all the free? what words do I learn now to earn me the key? |
10. The Falcon
I'd rather be the falcon, pretending not to hear, than the falconer who only knows how to call. I hear you, baby, I hear you clear, I just like the view so much better from up here. And you know I'll return, when I grow tired, like I always do. |
11. Oh, Abraham
Oh Abraham, Abraham, don't you take the boy from me,
I've waited all this lonesome time for him,
and I know I live in a time when my voice doesn't matter,
I know the eyes upon his face look like yours.
I laughed at all the angels when they promised him to me,
is this the way I'm punished now for not believing?
Oh, Abraham, Abraham don't you take him to the
mountain,
I know there're bigger things than you and me,
but the Devil does his testing just like this Abraham,
and you'll fail us both if you walk away from me.
Oh Abraham, Abraham, don't you take the boy from me,
I've waited all this lonesome time for him,
and I know I live in a time when my voice doesn't matter,
I know the eyes upon his face look like yours.
I laughed at all the angels when they promised him to me,
is this the way I'm punished now for not believing?
Oh, Abraham, Abraham don't you take him to the
mountain,
I know there're bigger things than you and me,
but the Devil does his testing just like this Abraham,
and you'll fail us both if you walk away from me.
