JONNY CRAIG LYRICS

"We Black Hearts Bear The Cross"

Featuring Kyle Lucas

Your father hated me
While your mother disapproved
They set, set all the rules
That you never listened to
Yeah you never listened to
I was your escape, your getaway
So send me off to hell, I prefer the warm weather
Let my passion speaks for itself, for itself
No I wouldn’t have it any other way

Jesus Christ we were such great sinners
And I won’t look back
On the empty, empty California, empty California winters
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
Cause I feel so alive
Yes I feel so alive
Where others would feel so dead

So you can nail me up, you can crucify me
Good or bad, at least I pushed the limits
At least you can say I lived it
At least you can say I lived it
I was never the one to hold my breath
Never the one to bite my tongue
And after all of the critics I’ll be the bad guy
I’ll take the burden for the person you’ve become

And Jesus Christ we were such great sinners
And I won’t look back
On the empty, empty California, empty California winters
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
Cause I feel so alive
Yes I feel so alive
Where others would feel so dead

[Kyle Lucas:]
We sure know how to live
Sure know how to sin
Probably why I drink like a fish
Tryin to drown all my problems but they learn to swim
Still I rise above it
All this hate but somehow I love it
Shit, you could probably tell by the sound of it
Looking back now man I’m pretty proud of it
There’s a hole in my chest where my heart once was
Now it’s vacant I need a replacement
I’m surrounded by girls who are just as heartless
But I’m numb to ‘em all see I’ve grown complacent
Really I just need a vacation
Workin all these hours I’m sick of the graveshift
Overnight drives on tour through the matrix
It’s hard to stay real I’m surrounded by fake shit

And Jesus Christ we were such great sinners
And I won’t look back
On the empty, empty California, empty California winters
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
We sure know how to live
Cause I feel so alive
Yes I feel so alive
Where others would feel so dead
So dead
So dead
So dead
So dead
Sooo...

I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden
I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross
I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden
I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross
I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden
I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross
I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden
