Two Child One Drop Lyrics - Live At Stubb's Vol.ii - Matisyahu

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
