Struggling with Humility? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Calling the world from isolation 'Cause right now, that's the ball where we be chained And if you're coming back to find me You'd better have good aim Shoot it true I need you in the picture That's why I'm calling you (calling you) I'm the lonely twin, the left hand Reset myself and get back on track I don't want this isolation See the state I'm in now? Callin' the hunter with a rifle 'Cause right now that's the ball where we be chained Shoot it true I want you in the picture That's why I'm calling you (calling you) I'm the lonely twin, the left hand Reset myself and get back on track I don't want this isolation See the state I'm in now? If I pick it up when I know that it's broken Do I put it back? Or do I head out on to the lonesome track and let you go? I'm the lonely twin, the left hand I don't want this isolation See the state I'm in now? If I pick it up when I know that it's broken Do I put it back? Or do I head out on to the lonesome track and let you go?
