Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft

acoustic

guitar

picking) (

Slow,

deliberate

piano

chords)

I

remember

when

the

doors

were

open

You

had

nowhere

else

to

turn

I

gave

you

a

place

to

stay

I

gave

you

a

heart

to

burn

You

came

to

me

with

empty

pockets

Said

the

rentals

were

too

high

I

welcomed

you

into

my

home

I

didn't

ask

you

how

or

why

For

three

whole

years

I

kept

you

fed

I

carried

all

your

weight

I

thought

we

had

a

sacred

bond

But

now

I

see

it’

s

far

too

late

Oh,

the

price

of

trust

is

heavy

now

I

gave

you

shelter

from

the

rain

You

drove

away

in

a

brand

new

Benz

And

left

me

holding

all

the

pain

Yeah,

you’

re

driving

off

on

borrowed

time

Leaving

nothing

but

the

debt

behind

God

bless

you

on

your

selfish

way

I’

m

learning

lessons

every

day

And

then

there’

s

Maria

with

the

holy

robe

Pretending

she’

s

a

guide

But

she’

s

got

no

business,

no

honest

trade

Just

a

serpent

deep

inside

She

went

behind

my

back

to

him

To

poison

all

my

trade

She

tried

to

break

the

work

I

built

With

the

empty

promises

she

made

Oh,

the

price

of

trust

is

heavy

now

I

gave

you

shelter

from

the

rain

You

drove

away

in

a

brand

new

Benz

And

left

me

holding

all

the

pain

Yeah,

you’

re

driving

off

on

borrowed

time

Leaving

nothing

but

the

debt

behind

God

bless

you

on

your

selfish

way

I’

m

learning

lessons

every

day

We’

re

surrounded

by

these

fake

prophets

Taking

all

they

can

and

then

they

run

They

call

them ‘

one-catancios’

now

Underneath

the

burning

Zambian

sun

I

tried

to

help,

I

tried

to

give

But

reciprocity

is

dead

I’

m

cutting

ties

to

save

my

soul

From

all

the

words

you

never

said

I’

m

planting

seeds

in

different

soil

Far

away

from

snakes

and

lies

I’

ve

paid

the

fees

of

experience

Now

I’

m

opening

my

eyes

To

the

Kessy

family

and

the

rest

I

hope

you

find

your

peace

But

my

house

is

closed

to

users

now

My

heart

has

found

its

sweet

release

Oh,

the

price

of

trust

is

heavy

now

I

gave

you

shelter

from

the

rain

You

drove

away

in

a

brand

new

Benz

And

left

me

holding

all

the

pain

Yeah,

you’

re

driving

off

on

borrowed

time

Leaving

nothing

but

the

debt

behind

God

bless

you

on

your

selfish

way

I’

m

learning

lessons

every

day

Yeah,

I’

m

learning

now

No

more

games,

no

more

lies

Just

the

truth

beneath

these

skies (

Fade

out

with

soft

piano) (

End)
