Promise Lyrics - Second Sight - Hey Rosetta!

Ye low lives 

Laughing too much 

Never close your eyes 

Till the sun's coming up 

Under-slept, Over-dreamt 

My whole life 

Trying to speak 

But silent 

With so much beneath it 

That thick wind under the surface 

You don't know me, or my purpose 

Or my promise 

I got promise 

Your hands and feet 

For all of their grief 

Turned out to be 

Only your elbows and knees 

You go farther, you're just starting ...to see 

And you see that red pen 

Hover in judgement 

and that census 

Man get those numbers away from us 

'Cause honest, we got nothing 

In our pockets, but thin wrists 

And promise 

We got promise 

I'm waking up 

Pull me from my sheets in the dark 

As if in a dream, lifting off 

Let me feel it shift in my blood 

Let me feel like I'm rising up 

Out of all the ashes and dust 

Out of all the past -that's done 

I don't need what's long dead and gone, man 

I got promise, 

I got promise, 

I got promise, 

Yeah I got promi-i-i-se 

I got promise! 

I got promise! 

He-e-ey I got promise! 

I got promise!
