Lyrics Debts to Pay - JT Music

Debts to Pay

I’m not a righteous man
I’m not a holy man
But I’ll be damned if that damnation
Leads my lamb astray
I reckon heaven ain’t no place for angels anymore
Hang up your worn-out halo
Spread your withered wings and soar
Just fake a leap of faith
Forget how far from grace you’ve fallen
Come find familiar faces down below among the sodom
In fact I’ve found that lookin' down’s an act you may regret
Unless the thought of fallin' to your death don’t phase you yet
You’re gamblin' on your Lady Luck, already placed your bet
That when you find that special girl, then you may wipe away your debt
The false shepherd’s steppin' onto our land
Lookin' to stop her from drownin' in flame the mountains of man
Instead I bet she’ll get it done with holy water
And by the end I know she’ll cleanse her filthy rotten Father
But even if one door closes, I know an infinite open
The Great Chain ain’t even made yet and it’s already been broken
If you step through a tear I hope that you know where you’re goin'
'Cuz you just unlocked the cage, upon the songbird’s wings you’re soarin'
Beware the foreign hordes, everyone check your class
You were born to solely play the role with which you have been caste
Is that an inner monologue in your head?
You’re only chasin' your tail, soon you’re gonna see yourself dead
When you play dirty
You’ll never win
So just hold your breath, I’ll hold your head and wash off your sins
Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out
And bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you’re sure afraid of
Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and pray
Now watch your Eden become home to demons after all
'Cuz grace is nothing but a place from which we’re meant to fall
So take a taste of your forbidden fruit
Embrace yourself
Now welcome home, I’ve made your sacred Heaven into Hell
If thine alignment is with Vox Populi, pity
Upon thy soul, thou demon devil in our white city
I should know for with the high divines, I’m privy
Hold your Bible tight, without the good book, I might outwit thee
Are you salty, jealous of my vigor?
I’ve an army, I need not touch my finger to a trigger
You curse our fertile earth, holy and hallowed it may be
I don’t mean to open old wounds, how’s an arrow to the knee?
I’m playin' dirty, but I can’t win
So I’ll hold my breath, you hold my head and wash off my sins
Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out
And bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you’re sure afraid of
Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and-
O Father, you’ve sewed your seeds
The land, you’ve tilled
If you could see La Vie en Rose, my looks could kill
While time is flyin' by, I’m standin' still
I’d ask you to dance, but I know you will
Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out
And bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you’re sure afraid of
Break the circle, 'cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and pray
