Hymn101 Lyrics - Singles - Joe Pug

And I've come to know the wish list of my father 

I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished 

I've come to wish aloud 

Among the over-dressed crowd 

Come to witness now the sinking of the ship 

Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it 

And I've come to roam the forest past the village 

With a dozen lazy horses in my cart 

I've come here to get high 

To do more than just get by 

I've come to test the timbre of my heart 

Oh, I've come to test the timbre of my heart 

And I've come to be untroubled in my seeking 

And I've come to see that nothing is for naught 

I've come to reach out blind 

To reach forward and behind 

For the more I seek the more I'm sought 

Yeah, the more I seek the more I'm sought 

And I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse 

To offer him the broadside of my jaw 

I've come here to get broke 

Then maybe bum a smoke 

We'll go drinking two towns over after all 

Oh, we'll go drinking two towns over after all 

And I've come to meet the legendary takers 

I've only come to ask them for a lot 

Oh they say I come with less 

Than I should rightfully possess 

I say the more I buy the more I'm bought 

And the more I'm bought the less I cost 

And I've come to take their servants and their surplus 

And I've come to take their raincoats and their speed 

I've come to get my fill 

To ransack and spill 

I've come to take the harvest for the seed 

I've come to take the harvest for the seed 

And I've come to know the manger that you sleep in 

I've come to be the stranger that you keep 

I've come from down the road 

And my footsteps never slowed 

Before we met, I knew we'd meet 

Before we met, I knew we'd meet 

And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches 

I've come to closely listen to you sing 

I've come here to insist 

That I leave here with a kiss 

I've come to say exactly what I mean 

and I mean so many things 

And you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher 

And you've come to know me thankless as a guest 

But will you recognize my face 

When gods awful grace 

Strips me of my jacket and my vest 

And reveals all the treasure in my chest
