lyrics to songs:
(from S L O W DROWN)



 what you're still here?
able-bodied
ruin you
flesh chief
patmos
let me be your man
and I need
bleed me real
situation's bleak
19
homesick
 

** coming soon**      lyrics to songs:
(unrecorded)



transformer
country song/pretend I'm fine
pure
flicker fade
conversation
fall on us
i believe that you are true
you are real (I'm a fake)

 
  • What you're still here?
     She got hit by her man
    He said he'd never do it again
    I don't know if I
    believe him.
    All she wanted was love
    She found out, he wasn't what
    she'd been dreaming of
    she replies,
    "remember when...
    he seemed, so much nicer then..."

     (chorus)
    What you're still here?
    What are you doing here?
    Why are you still here?
    Why are you still here?

     Looks like she's fallen again
    Replies one of her friends
    Looks like the baby fell too
    I can see his bruise
    What a shame...what's the use
    Why take this shame?
    Why take this abuse?

     (chorus)

     All the shame
    And all the pain
    When will it end?
    Jesus come in.
    Jesus come in.

     She got hit by her man
    He said he'd never do it again.
    I don't know if I
    believe him.


    Able-Bodied
    Shannon wrote this

     it's not the doubt that brings me down
    it's dispair being drug around,
    and the sounds
    fogging up my senses
    eating up my lunch
    I'm blind and tired
    thirsty, numb

     chorus:
    able-bodied
    hungry for
    something more

     defy the logic of yesteryear
    leave the fog for a road so clear,
    learn to hear
    forget these lies that leave us dead
    we wanted good
    but lost instead

     chorus

     bridge
    tired of the tent your wear
    sick of the sin we share
    drench me in drink brand new
    cloth me in skins of truth.

     chorus


    Patmos
    Shannon wrote this

     Exiled alone,
    on this island of stone
    God of sight and sound
    giving us clues as to what's going down

     Exiled alone,
    on this island of stone
    visions of truth
    visions of You.


    And I need
    Shannon wrote this

     Blistery,
    and my hands sting
    and I've never ever ever
    felt so cold
    and I feel so old
    I feel like a kid
    standing in the mud
    trying to clean himself up

     Drowning,
    when he found me
    treading water
    I was sinking down down down
    but I know now,
    just where I've been
    but can I so easily
    place my trust in my skin?

     (chorus) I need healer
    someone wash me anew
    and I need lover
    to heal this broken body
    and stop the bleeding too.
    and I need...

     Whispered,
    and my ears burn
    I can tell somebody's
    on their knees
    and while I'll sleep
    I hope and hope
    that these nightmarish
    thoughts won't return to
    linger and poke.

     (chorus)
    (bridge)
    and I need a healer
    and I need a lover
    and I need a savior
    to heal this broken body
    and stop the bleeding too
    and I need You

    19
    Shannon wrote the words, Zech wrote the music

     the heavens' sing
    I am so free
    and they know your glory,
    they know.

     (chorus) from dust
    I come
    from dust
    I'm grown

     the heavens' sing
    I am so free
    and they know your glory...

    Ruin You
    Shannon wrote this

     I broke the chain
    you gave me to restrain
    I can't exactly explain
    the way I want to touch
    your heart
    So why don't I just touch your heart?

     (chorus) Isn't it great
    the way I ruin you
    Can we escape?
    or would we even want to?

     Paul said something
    about being lead
    my desires, I've read
    are what pull me from you.
    They're what pull me away from Jesus

     (chorus2) Isn't it great
    the way I ruin you
    Can we escape?
    or would we even want to?
    I can't believe
    the way I ruin you
    Jesus please
    forgive me again (and again)

     (bridge) Why can't I just touch you with my heart?
    and not with my hands
    It doesn't make much sense
    because in the end
    I'm empty
    I'm guilty
    without you my God
    without you my God
    Oh my Lord (chorus3) isn't it great
    the way I ruin you?
    But in the end,
    the grace covers me
    and you!


    Flesh Chief
    Shannon wrote this

     Are you like me,
    Have you ever been caught?
    Staring at the light
    Standing in the dark

    Do you know the hurt
    Have you felt the pain
    Of a tummy lurch
    and a belly strain?

     (chorus)
    Flesh Chief,
    Paul, said it all
    Flesh Chief,
    Paul, said it all
    Flesh Chief,
    Paul, said it all
    My God, He's not so small

    We owe so much
    we cannot repay
    Will I take what I deserve?
    I need your grace.

     I stand in rain
    This grace smells sweet
    I'm dancing in the puddles
    at your feet.

     (chorus)

     oh wretched man that I am
    who can save me from this body of death
    I guess, I'll let you guess.
    What I want to do
    I don't do
    What I hate
    That's what I do
    3...2...1

     (chorus)

    Situation's Bleak
    Shannon wrote this

     hold my head under the water
    if it will let me live again
    I've been falling down so much lately
    can't seem to pull myself out of this spin

     (chorus)
    switch me off
    to set me free
    I know the situation's bleak

     if it's all the same to you
    I think I'll trade away this grief
    There's nothing I hate more
    Than a fitfull night of sleep
    he's been whispering his lies
    and I've been buying them wholesale
    and this "home" I've built with all my "newfound friends"
    is feeling like a cell

     (chorus)

     When all is said and I'm undone
    Lord please tie me to your rock
    because I know I will let go
    and I'm so scared of being lost...


    Bleed Me Real
    Shannon wrote this

     Made a covenant with my eyes
    but I can't say I'm trusing them or me
    I don't know, where to go or what to do
    to leave these things that pull from you
    but I think I know the truth

     chorus:
    It's the way I long to heal
    but the nails just don't appeal
    yet I know my wrist and legs will have to
    bleed me real

     Can't exactly remember the day
    when I first saw you so clear
    But I remember hope like yesterday
    I felt the "new" and "clean" the way
    you touched my face

     chorus


    Homesick
    Shannon wrote the words, Zech wrote the music...

     you held me
    i felt your arms
    you saw the beauty beneath me scars
    you called me
    i heard your word
    and I wept with joy when i learned i was cured

     (chorus)
    and now
    i feel so
    so homesick for you

    it kills
    and i am left to seethe
    it drains me so I'd die for relief

     (chorus) (bridge) you said way...
    you said true...
    you said life...
    now we're waiting we're aching, we're so homesick for you...
