Carey Alexander - Before I Go Lyrics

I'll be your captain at sea who's never seen past the shore
While the tides raged along

And if I called you the key, would you open my door or rage along?
On and on

You aboard unto this song that can't be sunk
The devil knows the moves, always hiding in the grooves

So forget everything you've earned
And take those books and make 'em burn

Take to songs that baffle your feet by resisting repeat
Take to songs that could protect the streets by becoming police

I'm gone before I go, here in the unknown

Call me the captain of peace who always sails off to war
While the tides raged along

A man once called me a priest, so I said to him
"You better pray for a Lord, or rage along, rage along"

Oh, but it's already come and gone
It keeps on chugging and then some

See how the gears, they keep grinding along?
The devil's grinding too

So forget the things you think you've learned
To teach that tune to take a turn

I am the lock
Baby you are the key
You should twist it and see

The congregation's blind and I am aching to see
I trust you'll follow my lead

I am gone before I go, I'm here before I show
Oh, the song, it seems to only sing when you are listening
Oh, it's gone before it goes
