Lazarus
Lyrics, Guitar, and Vocals by Amy Greene
Mandolin by Nathan Lee
It took me so long to see how long you have been with me
It took me even longer still to see that it was for the best
I know that you have time and time will tell
If I am to know the story’s rest
Who knows who can save us?
Who knows who will save us?
You took me for a fool, and now I know why
You took me for a ride in the countryside
There I saw a man, he was lost and poor and blind
There I saw a dead man rise
Who knows who has done this?
Who knows who can do this?
There I saw my head cave in
There I fell straight down
There I saw my heart grow large
There I felt it pound
There I saw my head cave in
There I fell straight down
There I saw my heart grow large
There I felt it pound
Who knows who can save us?
Who knows who will save us?
Who knows who has done this?
Who knows who can do this?

Tall
Lyrics, Guitar, and Vocals by Amy Greene
Mandolin by Nathan Lee
There is a man as big as you; he hides the sun from the moon,
He is as tall as tall can be.
He knows all and all he knows, he is as tall as tall can grow.
His shadow cast on all who breathe.
He would stand for me.
There is a girl, in the world, who takes the apple from the tree,
She is as curious as me.
She knows not and all she knows, is that she is as empty as a ghost,
She gives her love to all who seek.
She would stand for me.
The devil inside takes a toll, we cannot be who we’re told
There is a man, half as smart, who takes his anger out on art,
He is as broken as my heart.
He knows some, but not enough, he only lacks that is love.
He tears my body into parts.
He would stand for me.
The god inside takes me home, I cannot live down here alone.

Monsters
By Amy Greene & Nathan Lee
Close your eyes little child,
Lay your head down to rest for a while,
Forget the monsters that are underneath your bed,
There are plenty more of those inside your head,
Shut the shades lock the doors,
Remove the carpet from the alabaster floors,
Help me to understand the things you say and do,
Don’t forget it’s all for you,
Father tell me what you’ve done,
Rescued the witness and then cut out her tongue,
When you sit back and watch the sun go down,
You can’t tell me that you were never wrong.
Mother read your tarot cards,
Tell me the answers that are written in the stars,
To love, to leave, or tell me none of these,
Am I to wander long or to find better things?
Little child where’ve you gone,
Have you forgotten all the lines that you’ve drawn?
Making a habit out of blaming those you love,
Then you’re no better off then the ones before you was.
