Lyrics Beautiful Eulogy

Beautiful Eulogy

Covet

This song is called Covet. It goes down in three parts"

I heard early in life you deal with the hand your dealt

But it was unconcerned words from people who never felt

Or never needed

I pleaded so many times to be seated among the wealthy

Only to be greeted with a blank look for looking for help

You can see it in my face

Got me dreaming of leaving this place

To obtain a better life for mine

And aspire to provide for my wife and I

I've never been afraid to use my hands

Or get them dirty

In fact I work just as hard as any other man

If I could get just one wish

My hope would be to get one chance

To strike it rich and switch my circumstance

And advance myself to count myself as one of them

You know them

The ones who never have to pretend to be

Who have money for everything

Who never have any enemies

Who write checks then check out

And never have to worry about anything

I wanna live like that

Because what they got

Is a lot more appealing than what I got

They got no care for me

So I should take a little bit of what they got

Why not?

"As we continue on, scene 2 to the story."

Fast forward past my formative years

And it appears I'm stuck here

Looking back on wasted years

And I got nothing to look forward to

Unclear where to steer

Where to go or

How to get far from here

Far away from the shed where I lay my head

And often shed my tears

Deep down I long for a place to belong

Safe and calm

It seems I always went the wrong way

Now all my dreams are gone

No destination left for me, no destiny to manifest

Trying to catch butterflies

But I got a hole in my net

I want to escape and run away

Because every day I'm forced to fake it

If the opportunity showed it's ugly face then I would take it

And no one would expect it

Guess I never had the heart to tell them I wanted a fresh start, cause I've been barely getting by for a long time

It's easier to leave and never have to see them bleed

And I might sound like a coward

But inside I feel powerless

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul

If so then my windows are broken glass

Shattered pieces that's

Where I hide and keep my secrets at

"And now the story makes a hard turn left. Scene 3"

Before the world began and the fall of man

You unfolded the drama of salvation's plan

And though we violate

We're cursed by the law

He sent his son to die

And he absorbed it all

We covet, we kill

Our throats are open graves

We lie and we steal but he still saves

It's happening now

New hearts will burn

All creation yearns for the King's return

Before the world began and the fall of man

You unfolded the drama of salvation's plan

And though we violate

We're cursed by the law

He sent his son to die

And he absorbed it all

We covet, we kill

Our throats are open graves

We lie and we steal but he still saves

It's happening now

New hearts will burn

All creation yearns for the King's return
