[00:24.34] Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock
[00:32.94] upon my door,
[00:36.62]
[00:38.99] and waiting... for Promised Land.
[00:49.04]
[00:56.71] Standing neck deep in life,
[00:59.90]
[01:02.02] my ring of brass lay rusting on the floor.
[01:09.94]
[01:11.57] Is this all?
[01:13.25]
[01:14.06] Because it's not what I expected.
[01:18.55]
[01:46.07] Somewhere along the way
[01:49.52]
[01:50.63] friends I once held close fled in the fast lane.
[01:56.57]
[01:59.18] I didn't notice, I just had to make it.
[02:03.67]
[02:13.03] Head down, nose to the grindstone;
[02:16.59]
[02:17.27] the kiss of life placed on my brow
[02:24.89] kept slidin' to the ground
[02:27.95] and now it's buried six feet under.
[02:31.82] Preaching from the floor again
[02:35.12]
[02:36.31] the same old sad song,
[02:39.30]
[02:40.12] "Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son."
[02:48.04]
[02:48.93] Where did it all go wrong?
[02:52.53]
[02:54.03] What's the use in even holding on?
[02:58.79] Here's to love, hate... and promises, and lies.
[03:07.20]
[03:51.82] Almost called it today.
[03:54.88]
[03:55.94] Turned to face "The Void"
[03:59.57] numb with the suffering
[04:03.06]
[04:04.62] and the question,
[04:05.94]
[04:07.55] "Why am I...?"
[04:10.07]
[04:18.50] So many times I've tried and failed to
[04:23.05] gather my courage, reach again for that nail.
[04:27.37]
[04:27.94] Life's been like
[04:29.56] dragging feet through sand,
[04:31.93]
[04:33.06] and never finding... Promised Land.
[04:38.05] Preaching from the floor again
[04:40.80]
[04:41.98] the same old sad song,
[04:45.04]
[04:45.85] "Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite song."
[04:53.59]
[04:54.45] Where did it all go wrong?
[04:58.08]
[04:59.77] I feel like I'm dying.
[05:02.63]
[05:03.70] Here's to love, to hate,
[05:07.65]
[05:08.84] to promises and Promised Land lies.
