GHOST The Rigs
Everybody’s got a ghost Floatin' thru the walls no matter where we go We’re all strong but we're all scared Haunted houses in our heads Cause everybody's got a ghost
Everybody's got a demon We're all smiling, but inside we're screamin' We all laugh but we're all sad God only answers when he's mad
So run to the river where there ain't no stream Pretend that the water flows
Find a voice Let it sing A choir of sinners With broken wings
Ain't no angels Just a bunch of thieves Tryin' to steal some So we can sing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
We don't need no absolution We'll just keep drinkin' til the spirit moves us Bunch-a fallen saints after the crash We ain't good but this ain't bad
So run to the river where there ain't no stream Pretend that the water flows
Find a voice Let it sing A choir of sinners With broken wings
Ain't no angels Just a bunch of thieves Tryin' to steal some So we can sing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh my Lord Can't you hear the song Of the down & out Singin' all night long
Oh oh oh my Lord Can't you hear the sound Of the people dancin' As the rain comes down
Oh oh oh my Lord Can't you hear the beat Of the broken chains Fallin' at our feet
Oh oh oh my Lord Can't you hear the song Risin' risin' risin'
Find a voice Let it sing A choir of sinners With broken wings
Ain't no angels Just a bunch of thieves Tryin' to steal some So we can sing

V1 Please don't tell me bout your wrong & right Don't tell me that to live you die Cause I can kill myself just fine
Point your finger at another man Not even I know who I am I won't pretend that I give a damn
No one know for whom bells toll Just march along this way Wear your veil to show & tell Cause we've got hell to pay
Chorus:
Saints You're too late Pray to your gods Deny what you want Light another candle cause the good will never defeat the brave Brave Take your hate Deny all their gods Take what you want Let me throw another stone cause we all know that we are the saved
V2 It's not nightmares that haunt me now It's reality behind your cloud silence behind your sound
Don't you tell me what you want to hear I can raise the voice you fear But it's not worth the breath my dearFault LineThe Rigs2018-08-08 | "Fault Line" by The Rigs
I should've know you were something I need. I should've known you'd leave me to bleed It felt like war it look led like peace I didnt know you were something Id need
Your cards on the table your ball made of crystal can't see You saw my eyes but the soul that they hide wasn't me
Ooh I’d be a runaway, runaway I’d be a runaway, runaway I’d be a runaway, runaway
I've got the words but you know I can't sing I've got the lesson but I didn't learn a thing I found a circle around I will run Cause who I was yesterday is who I'll become.
Your cards on the table your ball made of crystal can't see I saw the lies but the truth wasn't nice so I believed
Ooh I’d be a runaway, runaway I’d be a runaway, runaway I’d be a runaway, runawayWhite FlagThe Rigs2018-08-08 | "White Flag" by The Rigs
VS If I surrender will you Be kind as captor Be gentle as you bind me With those ties with which you lead me blindly
If I go freely would you Be like the ones proceeding Crueler than you need to be Or would you take good care of me
CH Raising my white flag, white flag Too late to go back Feel like a slave to be sold Now Im losing control But I want it oh I want it bad I'm raisin my white flag, white flag Say goodbye to all I had Trading my freedom for chains But I'm loving the pain Baby take me while I'm here to have
VS One kiss to bate and charm me One look and you disarm me Lost my grip, I'm fallin free And now you've got me on my knees
Just wanna touch the lightning One flash & I stop fighting Like the ones who've gone before I'll leave my freedom at the door
BR And when you say my name I will go willingly Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh So take me where you lead I will go willingly Oh oh oh. Oh ohWorld On FireThe Rigs2018-08-08 | "World On Fire" by The Rigs
VS1 I wanna be an astronaut in a rock n roll band Wanna shoot bad guys with a pointed hand Wanna sneak a kiss in the setting sun Oh I wanna know love like when we were young.
PRE I'm not sure I can explain a thing All the words are gone so I'll just sing.
CH Hey la la la la Hey oh Hey la la la la Hey oh
VS2 Wanna be a princess in an ivory tower Gonna find my knight before the sun goes down Wanna hold your hand til the day is done I wanna know love like when we were young.
The Rigs dramatic new single, “The Hunted” is an anguish-filled, emotionally melodic alternative pop track. A harrowing mix of a distorted electric guitars and the hush of timid vocals create a juxtaposition of aesthetics that is instantly captivating. There’s a visceral feeling of being chased, even stalked, built into the meteoric rise that absolutely comes undone in the powerfully dynamic breakdown. Amidst the sense of unease is a commanding stance, backed by layers of vocals and atmospheric synthy electronic sounds that bolster the independent streak coursing through the melody. “The Hunted” is one of those tracks that stays with you long after the last chord fades away.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - The RigsThe Rigs2016-12-13 | Our take on a Christmas classic.

Oh you'll never know When the judge will come to take your soul Where you gonna go When they come for you to pay the toll Run river run But it can't wash away the things you've done Cry sister cry For the life that was lost of your favorite son
Baby watch your back I know where you're at Thought you were invincible you got it wrong Lookin' for a fight Now you've got a bite Better sleep with one eye open from now on
You Sang the devils song But the devil himself wouldn't sing along So Hide, baby hide Til justice comes to take you home
Baby watch your back I know where you're at Thought you were invincible you got it wrong Lookin' for a fight Now you've got a bite Better sleep with one eye open from now on

Mother, can you lend me your tears Cuz mine have dried from the heat of these fears Father, can you give me your heart Cuz I need to feel the blood of home near Just ashes on the ground Rings and rosies round We all fall down

If you were gravity, baby I'd be fallin' If you were a tidal wave, baby I'd be drenched If you were the sun in the sky Oh baby I'd be more crimson than I've ever been
If you were mercury, baby I'd be poisoned If you were the earth that shakes, I would lose my step If you were a guillotine right in front of me Oh baby, I'd lose my head
To be where you are To be where you are To be where you are
If I was fire, you would be the rainfall If I were stars, you'd be these city lights If I were the moon in the sky Oh baby, I'd watch your clouds come and darken my night
If I was stronger I wouldn't let you touch me If I was smarter I would walk away But I'm not so I won't say I do when I don't I'll pretend that this pleasure's not pain
To be where you are To be where you are To be where you areThe Rigs - Ours To Own (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Ours To Own" by The Rigs
Don't feel low cause I've been down so long Maybe tomorrow I'll sing a sweeter song Cause I'm movin' on Yeah I'm movin' on Cause you done me wrong Might be dark but there's always another day Don't see a light but I'll still find a way Cause I'm movin on Ya I'm movin on Cause you done me wrong
So pour another round Kiss yesterday goodbye Lookin' up and gettin' down We're gonna celebrate tonight Stomp your feet and dance around Pull somebody close The road is long but life is short And tonight is ours to own
I've been burnt out Runnin' just on fumes I've been worn down With no help from you So I'm movin' on Ya, movin' on Cuz you done me wrong
Stuck in tunnels Lookin' for the light Been a long road But the ends in sight So I'm movin' on Ya I'm movin' on Cuz you done me wrong
So pour another round Kiss yesterday goodbye Lookin' up and gettin' down We're gonna celebrate tonight Stomp your feet and dance around Pull somebody close The road is long but life is short And tonight is ours to own

Tonight I lay you down to sleep Pray to the Lord your soul I keep Embrace the darkness, crawl in deep Can't fear the hunger cuz it's time to eat
Can't wake up now Sometimes this life is just what it seems Don't wake up now You know your life isn't just a dream
Hey, Save me Show me your tears so I know you're mine Hey , Save me I need your fear just to feel alive
Stare at the earth under your feet Watch as it breaks right in between Rhythms like war cries strong but free Gonna pull you, pull you, pull you underneath
Can't wake up now Sometimes this life is just what it seems Don't wake up now You know your life isn't just a dream
Hey, Save me Show me your tears so I know you're mine Hey , Save me I need your fear just to feel alive

Hey, Save me Show me your tears so I know you're mine Hey , Save me I need your fear just to feel aliveThe Rigs - Next To Me (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Next To Me" by The Rigs
Goin' through the motions of a love we had Cause maybe it's all we know But ghosts aren't supposed to have so much flesh and bone Lookin' at an echo of music made But the band has long gone home And here we stand in the silence so far from home.
How can I miss you when you're right here next to me Oh I miss you and you're right here next to me
We could make love for a thousand years But your skin won't reveal your heart I miss the days when the two weren't so far apart The lips that used to speak of love Are the same that kiss me now But the kisses turned into walls to keep me out
How can I miss you when you're right here next to me Oh I miss you and you're right here next to me
You can take the hand you hold And warm it with your own But all I feel is a heart that's growing cold Once we were a fairy tale of love beyond this world Now were just a story no one once told
How can I miss you when you're right here next to me Oh I miss you and you're right here next to meThe Rigs - Say What You Want (Puppets) (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Say What You Want (Puppets)" by The Rigs

I’ve been called the good & the bad The ugly only those that wish that they had Built from mud so sling what you have Say what you want, Say what you want son I’ll be the witch you need for the hunt Grab a fork, light a torch, let em come But I’ve got demons of my own that should run So say what you want, Say what you want son
Strings strings strings are pulling you So speak as puppets do But silence holds the truth oh, oh Wooden words and plated shoes You dance but you don't move Just live through hands that do oh, oh
Not gonna be the devil you need Not moved by the beg & the plead You claim the saint but it’s sinners you need So say what you want, Say what you want son Never been the angel you pray Never been the devil you claim You can try but this soul don’t need saved So say what you want, Say what you want son
Strings strings strings are pulling you So speak as puppets do But silence holds the truth oh, oh Wooden words and plated shoes You dance but you don't move Just live through hands that do oh, oh
I'll be here when the crying is done Wondering where all the noises came from The eagle never pays mind to the dove Say what you want, say what you want son

Followed the path Took a bite when she asked Saw the truth of the man you'd become Searched for a light but in darkness you hide For the fear that you'd burn in the sun Kissed by the sweetest sin A mark now you wear within Your secrets keep you and you alone Can't wash away what's been sealed from the rain So you hide cuz it's too late to run You'll clean the cup, but won't drink the blood
Oh tell me what's a man to do You spent your whole life in that whitewashed tomb Now they're comin' for you
Brothers you've killed with a stone in your field And you're marked in a land not your own You rule with a kiss and you love with a fist Make sure no one knows where you called home Even the shadows need the sun to cast facades upon the wall Just make it real inside your head But the attic is closed to the painting it holds So you make beautiful what is dead You'll clean the cup but won't drink the blood
Oh tell me what's a man to do You spent your whole life in that whitewashed tomb Now they're comin' for you
Come out, come out wherever you are Come out, come out, come out Come out, come out wherever you are Come out, come out, come out
Oh tell me what's a man to do You spent your whole life in that whitewashed tomb Now they're comin' for youThe Rigs - Ladybird (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Ladybird" by The Rigs
Only love me when it soothes your soul Only want me when your armor's torn But the longing keeps me at your door Find me waiting Long for healing but I crave the heat You've awakened passion underneath Now the flame's a sign of what you seek I'll be waiting
Morning light doesn't seem as bright As the flame we left behind Ashes cover both loved and lover When we know it isn't right
Ladybird your children burn With this one desire Ladybird Have you heard? We've set our house on fire
Ladybird, I'm tired of this hell Throw a coin into the wishing well Draw the water as the flames, they swell I'll be waiting
Ain't no fire that can put this out At least we're shining as we're going down And the guilt is just a fuel we've found I'm not waiting
Morning light doesn't seem as bright As the flame we left behind Ashes cover both loved and lover When we know it isn't right
Ladybird your children burn With this one desire Ladybird Have you heard? We've set our house on fireThe Rigs - Suicide (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Suicide" by The Rigs
I'd follow you into the flame We can dance where embers lay When the fires gone We'll still be burning
I'd Follow you into the sea We can drown in ecstasy When the air is gone We'll still be breathing
You are, you are my suicide I love, I love you more than life You hold me like the grave and I Rise, rise
Let time just go away Let tomorrow be today Let the past and future die There's still be you and I
Just to look into your eyes Just to feel your skin on mine Just to taste your lips I'd give you my life
You are, you are my suicide I love, I love you more than life You hold me like the grave and I Rise, riseThe Rigs - Autumn (Audio)The Rigs2016-02-24 | "Autumn" by The Rigs
When all the Kings men And all their horses Can't find a way to A way to save you When all the day's end Remember me then It's not too late to Too late to save you
I've been chasin' windmills for as long as I have been Found my Dulcinea but I don't remember when Still I will be your hero when that love comes to an end Somehow you lost your wonder in your quest to feel alive Slayed your hope but didn't let yourself know it had died Thought growing up meant you had to go and kill the child inside
Wake wake wake up child Wake wake wake up child Wake wake wake up
When all the Kings men And all their horses Can't find a way to A way to save you When all the day's end Remember me then It's not too late to Too late to save you
Remember when the darkness wasn't all you had to see Remember when a part of you still hoped for what could be Well I got this suit of armor and a sword I need to swing
Wake wake wake up child Wake wake wake up
When all the Kings men And all their horses Can't find a way to A way to save you When all the day's end Remember me then It's not too late to Too late to save youThe Rigs - The Calling (Official Lyric Video)The Rigs2016-02-09 | 'The Calling' Available Everywhere Now! iTunes: itun.es/us/NR_T-?i=1052245165 Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/5jRRMZFs5TBECId9Aq8omq

Lyrics: I see the clouds they're rollin in They hide the sun but not my sin The Judas kiss still on my lips Can't walk away from where I've been Hear the calling
Walkin' on the water Darkness under my feet Gonna make the devil holler Hallelujah
I'm tired of watchin' shadows bleed Fightin' for nothin' but a need The seventh fall is on my knees Let sighs and secrets cover me Hear the calling
Walkin' on the water Darkness under my feet Gonna make the devil holler Hallelujah Gonna run across the waves and Gonna let the boat sink Listen to the devil singin' Hallelujah
Gonna rise from the grave when I roll that stone Let the light burn the things I've known Scream from the mountains that the child's come home Hear the calling
I see the clouds they're rollin' in
Walkin' on the water Darkness under my feet Gonna make the devil holler Hallelujah Gonna run across the waves and Gonna let the boat sink Listen to the devil singin' HallelujahThe Rigs - Run Baby Run (Audio)The Rigs2015-09-01 | "Run Baby Run" by The Rigs
Love, can't protect you now. Love that I can't feel It'll only break you down
Love, the secret that I keep Awakes as the world sleeps Finds you in the moonlight
Oh, day lights dying Run, baby run, baby run Oh, full moon rising Run, baby run, baby run
Dear, the kiss that steals your breath Will steal your soul instead When night is all that's left
So wait, keep your heart inside My hands won't keep it safe I'll just feed on dreams & smile as hope slowly dies.
Oh, day lights dying Run, baby run, baby run Oh, full moon rising Run, baby run, baby run
Look, can you see behind these eyes. Can you see what isn't there The truth dressed up in lies.The Rigs - Take (Audio)The Rigs2015-05-24 | "Take" by The Rigs
Hit the dirt, stand up and Do the work Stealing the devil's purse This is your lot
Quench your thirst, you've got to get there first No time to question worth Dreams can't be bought
Good Bad Have Had Time is all that we’ve got Love Hate Gold Fame Take whatever you want
Curse the light, day is the Cowards plight Dont need the sun to rise Your soul leads the way
Heroes rise, legends were born to die You'll live through the words they'll write This lives yours to takeWelcome to The RigsThe Rigs2015-05-06 | TJ Stafford and Caitlin Parrott have come together to form The Rigs. Here's a little taste of what's to come.
I see the clouds, they're rolling in They hide the sun but not my sin The Judas kiss still on my lips Can't walk away from where I've been
Oh, hear the calling oh, hear the calling
Walking on the water Darkness under my feet Gonna make the devil holler Hallelujah
I'm tired of watching shadows bleed Fighting for nothing but a need The seventh fall is on my knees Let sighs and secrets cover me
Oh, hear the calling Oh, hear the calling
Walking on the water Darkness under my feet Gonna make the devil holler Hallelujah Gonna run across the waves and Gonna let the boat sink Listen to the devil singin' Hallelujah
Gonna rise from the grave when they roll that stone Let the light burn the things I've known Scream from the mountains that this child's come home HallelujahThe Rigs - A Broken Heart Still Beats (Audio)The Rigs2015-04-20 | "A Broken Heart Still Beats" by The Rigs
Smile at the crowd but I know you're lonely To say it out loud is to admit that you're beat I know the truth and I know your secrets It might not be safe but danger is sweet
Stay, forget about heaven Stay where the sun makes darkness bleed Stay, walk with your demons The truth is a broken heart still beats
Stop fighting the fight, it's already been won And it never ends, but you're almost done Can't hide from the light cuz you've never been no one The shadows you feel, just slaves to the sun
Stay, forget about heaven Stay where the sun makes darkness bleed Stay, walk with your demons The truth is a broken heart still beats
Give me your hand, I'll give you a reason I see your fear that I know you feed Lost leading the blind, let's jump in the deep end You don't need to hide, you just need to breathe
Stay, forget about heaven Stay where the sun makes darkness bleed Stay, walk with your demons The truth is a broken heart still beatsThe Rigs - Rise & Fall (Audio)The Rigs2015-04-20 | "Rise & Fall" by The Rigs
There is a war outside Come see the bullets fly Do you hear the battle cry There is a call to rise No time to run and hide Come on we all must choose a side
Who are you Oh if we don't rise we fall So who are you If we don't rise we fall
There is a war inside Where angels and demons fight But we stand behind the lines A battle between dark and light Time for the gray to die Come on we all must choose a side
So who are you Oh if we don't rise we fall So who are you If we don't rise we fallThe Rigs - Battle For Your Life (Audio)The Rigs2015-04-20 | "The Battle" by The Rigs
I've seen all the way to the other side I've stood between the blacks and the whites Everyone always tells me it'll be alright But the mask ain't the face of the war inside
Angels, Devils Good and evil Battle for your life
Wading in water that's turned to blood Lookin' for answers where there are none Can't tell if the halo rings sinner or saint Can't tell if what I feel is pleasure or pain
Angels, Devils Good and Evil Battle for your life Drink the cup And load your gun This battle's for your life
I ain't, I ain't got time to die I'm busy fightin' here No time, no time, no time to cry I'm busy fightin' here
