[Verse 1]
I always thought I could get what I wanted
If I just pushed enough
Act as sad as I wanted and something free happens

From the outside in, it's a goldmine
It all turns to rot when you get inside
Chain up all the hope
'Cause shit is what it's worth

[Chorus]
You can’t change my mind about nothing
You can’t see in my soul; it's too dark
I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can’t charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell

[Verse 2]
Go on down to the water
And throw a line or two in
See if you can pull something out that’ll stick to your skin

Go on and just be grateful
Try and understand
There's no facts, just second guessing
And earning your keep as a better man

[Chorus]
You can’t change my mind about nothing
You can’t see in my soul; it's too dark
I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can’t charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell

[Bridge]
There’s blood in the water
There’s death on my hands
Come and knock on my door
I’ll label your demands

There’s faith in a black heart
You can put it back together
Get all your shit straight
I’ll meet you in the desert

[Chorus]
You can’t change my mind about nothing
You can’t see in my soul; it's too dark
I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t change my mind about nothing
You can’t see in my soul; it's too dark
I can’t phone in the simple fact that I’m just who I am

You can’t lead a horse to water
And force it to drink in deeper
You can’t charge for grace and mercy
It costs what it costs and that’s a life of hell
