The Key

[00:00.09] We had it all, let it fall, the favor and the fortune

[00:05.93] With another craving for distortion

[00:10.98] By the day we find a way, birds of a feather, they fly together

[00:17.09] And I see I'm soaring from this boring cage, mm-mm-mm-mm

[00:24.00] But to break free has only been a dream

[00:27.98] It's taking away all of my energy

[00:31.17] I need a light to see so I can finally breathe

[00:36.21] I gotta find the key

[00:37.81] I've been searching for a peace of mind

[00:40.73] Pride and certainty in truth I find

[00:44.19] The soul is cold when the river's empty

[00:47.90] So tell me these empty bones are dead inside

[00:50.56] Only hope keeps us alive

[00:56.40] The road is old and it's never ending

[01:00.65] These empty bones are dead inside

[01:05.70] Only hope keeps us alive

[01:08.62] But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy

[01:13.14] See, all this drinking got me thirsty

[01:18.45] I feel me breaking, I can't escape it

[01:22.17] I can't take the shame of mercy, hmm

[01:26.68] But I'll follow what I'm searchin'

[01:30.67] 'Cause maybe it's suitable for moving on

[01:35.98] And working through the hurting

[01:38.92] But to break free has only been a dream

[01:42.64] It's taking away all of my energy

[01:45.82] I need a light to see so I can finally find the key

[01:52.20] I've been searching for a peace of mind (I've been searching)

[01:55.40] Pride and certainty in truth I find (soul is cold)

[01:58.86] The soul is cold when the river's empty

[02:02.33] So tell me (tell me) these empty bones are dead inside

[02:07.90] Only hope keeps us alive

[02:10.83] The road is old and it's never ending

[02:15.34] These empty bones are dead inside

[02:20.39] Only hope keeps us alive

[02:23.31] But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy

[02:28.37] She paid her dues, she played those broken blues

[02:31.82] Etta James, and her name came from the very same truth

[02:34.22] Skip the youth, now it's things to do

[02:36.61] Now it's cleaning up after you

[02:38.75] And that's the music she sings to (it's hallelujah)

[02:42.18] You know better than to walk in with all the sin you're holding in

[02:45.65] They said to leave it at the door, they said pain no more

[02:48.58] She said, "But I got somethin' I'm fighting for

[02:51.23] Whatchu mean pain no more?" Play the chord

[02:53.62] Melodies playing her like chess

[02:57.34] She's taking deep breaths

[02:58.40] She takes a beating to the chest

[03:00.53] And there's no finessing this stress

[03:02.12] Demons try to tell her what's next

[03:03.98] She says, "I just want you to be blessed, blessed?
