Promised Land-Dispatched

[00:24.34]Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock [00:32.94]upon my door, [00:36.62] [00:38.99]and waiting... for Promised Land. [00:49.04] [00:56.71]Standing neck deep in life, [00:59.90] [01:02.02]my ring of brass lay rusting on the floor. [01:09.94] [01:11.57]Is this all? [01:13.25] [01:14.06]Because it's not what I expected. [01:18.55] [01:46.07]Somewhere along the way [01:49.52] [01:50.63]friends I once held close fled in the fast lane. [01:56.57] [01:59.18]I didn't notice, I just had to make it. [02:03.67] [02:13.03]Head down, nose to the grindstone; [02:16.59] [02:17.27]the kiss of life placed on my brow [02:24.89]kept slidin' to the ground [02:27.95]and now it's buried six feet under. [02:31.82]Preaching from the floor again [02:35.12] [02:36.31]the same old sad song, [02:39.30] [02:40.12]"Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son." [02:48.04] [02:48.93]Where did it all go wrong? [02:52.53] [02:54.03]What's the use in even holding on? [02:58.79]Here's to love, hate... and promises, and lies. [03:07.20] [03:51.82]Almost called it today. [03:54.88] [03:55.94]Turned to face "The Void" [03:59.57]numb with the suffering [04:03.06] [04:04.62]and the question, [04:05.94] [04:07.55]"Why am I...?" [04:10.07] [04:18.50]So many times I've tried and failed to [04:23.05]gather my courage, reach again for that nail. [04:27.37] [04:27.94]Life's been like [04:29.56]dragging feet through sand, [04:31.93] [04:33.06]and never finding... Promised Land. [04:38.05]Preaching from the floor again [04:40.80] [04:41.98]the same old sad song, [04:45.04] [04:45.85]"Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite song." [04:53.59] [04:54.45]Where did it all go wrong? [04:58.08] [04:59.77]I feel like I'm dying. [05:02.63] [05:03.70]Here's to love, to hate, [05:07.65] [05:08.84]to promises and Promised Land lies.
