Pay the Man

Lyrics

What you mean, what you mean?
 What you mean, man, what you mean?
 What you mean, yeah, what you see?
 What you see, yeah, oh yeah
 Well I need a little something to pull my head off
 Need a little something to pull my head off, yeah
 Need a little something
 Because I've been running from the truth
 Will never lose
 Lies come from loose teeth
 Tied to the noose
 Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
 All the things I've seen but I've chosen to ignore
 Well, I said, well I believe I've been well fed, yeah
 But the wolf's not dead
 Say what you love, it's alright
 Don't be afraid to find the light
 Embrace the day, like night
 We hear the fire
 We all go wild again
 And you have the name
 Of someone I love
 You said, just keep it true
 Lift up your name
 Seasons change
 You know it'll never be the same
 We'll see the sun again
 Before it fades
 I just wanna say that I love you
 Pay the man, pay the man
 Got to pay the man
 Run as fast as you can
 Call out to God, praise to the Most High
 Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
 Call out to mountains till my voice goes faint
 Echoes through time then goes back with new strength
 And when it's raining
 We're sailing
 Oh yeah, we're sailing
 We're sailing
 I'm off the leash
 I go to war for peace
 Must've been touching everything that I can
 I've got blood on my hands
 Guess I'm going deaf with the cry of this sin
 Oh please forgive me I don't understand
 We all believe we've been well fed, yeah
 The deaf man heard what the mute man said
 Then they all followed where the blind man led
 Say what you love, it's alright
 Don't be afraid to find the light
 Embrace the day, like night
 We hear the fire
 We all go wild again
 And you have the name
 Of someone I love
 You said, just keep it true
 Lift up your name
 Seasons change
 You know it'll never be the same
 We'll see the sun again
 Before it fades
 I just wanna say that I love you
 (Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)
 Pay the man, you got to pay the man
 Pay the man, you got to pay the man
 Pay the man
 I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
 Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
 Was laughing real hard but my teeth fell out
 Need a little something, yeah
 Need a little something
 (A little something, little something, little something)

 Can't you see

 We all run when the light comes on
 Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
