Bartholomew

Oh my god

Please help me, knee deep in the river tryin' to get clean

He says wash your hands, get out the stains

But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay

Yeah you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay.

Oh my god

Please help me, waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea?

He says, son, you come like a beggar in the streets

You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth

You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth

I rambled with the worst of them

Fell in love with a harlequin

Saw the darkest hearts of men

And I saw myself starin' back again

And I saw myself starin' back again

Oh my god

Please help me, neck deep in the river screamin' for relief

He says, it's mine to give, but it's yours to choose

You're gonna sink or swim, you're gonna learn the truth

No matter what you do you're gonna learn the truth

Ate the bread that once was stone

Fell from a cliff, never broke a bone

Bowed down to get the kings overthrown

And I'm all alone and the fire grows

And I'm all alone and the fire grows

Swing sweet charity

Take what's left of me

A new beginning or is this the end?

Swing sweet Seraphim

Take me back again

or watch me make the messes of men
