Music & Lyrics[]
When the kingdom comes he puts his records on and with his blistered thumb hits play
Now with the volume up he goes and fills his cup and lets the drummers drum take away
The pain
The pain
Breaking
Forsaken
What’s that you’re taken
Believing the feeling
He lets the records play
Should future dim
The cigarette light’s in
The vaporizer green light grim
And when the shot glass talks he goes to listens up
Until he’s nice and numb again
Again
Shaken
The breaking
Not one for faking
The reeling is healing
He lets the records play
There’s wisdom in his ways
I’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I’ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I’ve been off but I'm on up upon my feet
my feet again
Shaken
Forsaken
What’s that you’re taking
The weeding
The feeling
He lets the records play
Shaken
But breaking
Not one for faking
The reeling is healing
He lets the records play
There’s wisdom in his ways
