BOOK OF JAMES
McCarthy 
(lyrics: McCarthy)

On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart 
and behind him the girls played double dutch in the park 
The sun began to burn his snow white skin 
I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..

Storm clouds began to form in his head 
and crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean 
And the howling of hardship and heartache 
kneeled and grinned in his face

He stood there in his boots unable to move 
And i came here to tell you that i love you
And here lies my green eyes 
rolled back in my head, but they're alive 
and all these words can all get spoken 
just know we tried 
and you're forgiven

He made his way down the boulevard 
near the 99 cent stores and garbage in the yards 
And he began sing 
about the crickets and the backroads where we used to play

I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere.. 
cause I tried the bible, tried the bottle, tried the needle, tried to 
love people 
And in the end there aint much to say 
And in the end there aint much to say anyway 
And i stand here in my shoes, unable to move 
my hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean.

And here lies my green eyes 
rolled back in my head but they're alive 
and all the words can all get spoken 
just know we tried 
and you're forgiven

you're forgiven
