Matisyahu - Two Child One Drop lyrics

rate me

The world is dyin' the world is cryin'

World goes blind while the boy is lying

The house is burnin the children mourning their father's death

While world it keeps turning

One more day of pain has passed

While he lies in the sand on his back

Lookin' through the cracks in the sky sunsets

And all drowns in twilight

The desert stretches on for one more day

The girl pleads to him don't go away

His lips they move but got nothing to say

Stares blankly threw her face

Recollection of his brothers as they played

The world is black the earth is cracked

A child with no arms lyin on his back

No where to go in the middle of this cold

In the middle of this earth spinnin out of control

Did I have moments that were worth living for

I took the gun they gave me through it down on the floor

They chopped off my arms threw me out of the door

I am a murderer

I'm runnin in the desert runnin into the the sun

Runnin out of blood and I'm goin' numb

I'm runnin and you're runnin

And we're runnin and we're runnin' on empty

I'm runnin in this maze till I reach the sea

My heart burns up inside of me

Burnt and charred from this desert heat

My heart burns up inside of me

And the pain with in is the pain outside

The desert right here is a reflection of my life

Just as brutal as I am the sun me and the desert we are one

I am a murderer

Only the dead souls know I'm alive

They want me to lie down by their side

These are the demons that passed through my life

That killed me over a thousand times

I don't run I don't flee I don't fight

I don't make fun but don't flex my might

I don't act dumb but don't shine my light

I sit down on the ground till the time is right

They seek my demise and rely

On my dark side to give into the night

All those desperate ghosts stuck souls trapped in black holes

Became wearwolves stolen souls wanna see me bleed

It's a new day a new way,

It's gone it's dooms day for those who hold on to old ways

Your grip is so strong you choke and you swallow

And leave the place torn

So tread lightly no need to fight me

No need to be right it's so frightening

Soul like dust and flash like lightning

I slip through your grip cause you hold so tightly

I didn't stop nah I'm just becoming

I'm not finished nah I'm just arriving

I'm not done don't know where I'm going

Not afraid not to know and keep growing

Once you know you're dead and not living

And that's the wisdom to know while your breathing
