William Fitzsimmons - Passion Play Lyrics






I should not have hid
Where my heart can't follow
Cause this grace gets so far
And too hard to swallow
I've been running from Saul,
He's been giving chase
When I look in his eyes
All I see is my face

Are you still on my back
After all these years?
Chasing me out of hell
And my nice veeners
I don't know how you stand
When you've got no floor
Or how you can breathe
With your hands on boards

I just want to be not what I am today
I just want to be better than my friends might say
I just want a small part in your passion play

Do you hear when I call
In the midst of wrong?
Do you hear these here words
While I sing this song?
Are you caught up in me
Like I heard you say?
Or just some big cashier
That I'll have to pay

  14. M.... A....

    in love

  15. M.... C....

    i am listening this song twice a day.......before going to bed and after i wake up

  16. R.... K....

    Dunno how I stumbled into these feels in San Francisco; somewhere between Awkward Last Words and Lovesong; but his song just brought out all the right feels and after hearing this song, deff had to look up all his rest. Still haven't missed one of his shows in Portland yet!

  17. A.... K....

    A treasure for the deprived souls

  18. m.... m....

    for some reason i feel inescapably lonely whenever i listen to this song

    m.... m....

    Me too. I think this song is about wanting to escape yourself, which is of course impossible.

    m.... m....

    +The Mad Stork yeah man, thats a really good interpretation
    I can relate to that actually
    I mean (this might sound really dramatic ha im sorry) but ive always tried to be someone else
    and I've finally realized that I can't do that and that changing won't make anyone love me
    i guess I feel lonely because ive been looking for someone else in myself for so long but I only found me

    m.... m....

    That def resonates with me. I agree with the theory that consumer capitalism is the cultural cause, because it intentionally fosters self-dissatisfaction and cultivates inferiority complexes in individuals from birth. But thinking about that crap is so abstract, it doesn't really resolve anything for you psychologically as an individual, in my experience. It's been difficult to accept how others have seen me. I'm 28. This has caused me a lot of problems - a lot of neuroses. But I'm finally stating to accept how others perceive me. There is a truth there. A tough truth, but a truth nonetheless.

    m.... m....

    Hang in there, listen to his later albums.

  19. s.... H....

    Wonderful @_@

  20. T.... B....

  24. L.... D....

  25. D.... P....

    Heard this song for the first time a couple of years when I was going through a difficult time. Happy to have found this again. Thank you.

    D.... P....

    +Daryl Parkin it seems you play guitar. why don't you cover this song. i'm looking forward for your video.

    D.... P....

    @Alessandro Mienandi I've only just seen this. I'll be recording again soon and I'll keep this in mind. Thank you for your words.

  26. R.... ....

    those acoustics... he is so talented. can't get enough of him.

  27. C.... ....

    really nice

  28. N.... ....

    I would only date people who don't insult other people's opinion, even if it is due to their bitterness. Who cares what they believe, it's the way they demonstrate their character that matter.

  29. h.... ....

    3:11 best moment of this song. I just love how that dissonant tune fits in the whole :)

  30. A.... G....

    William Fitzsimmons' official guitar tabs, including "Passion Play", are available exclusively at Abatab! We ♥ indie artists & fans.

  31. N.... C....

    Man you are a piece of shit

  32. p.... m....

    you should've said, if heaven was made into a song, this would be it.

  33. R.... ....

    The melody, coupled with his voice, is like magic... even in the first secs I've to fight with my tears, so many memories come to mind.

  34. R.... O....

    Hahahahah, you are so ignorant it is actually funny, Like SOME 'Westerners', SOME 'Middle Easterners' also have wonderful voices. MrDubstep? Should have been MrDumbshit.

  35. S.... A....

    jesus hogs all the heroin, but anywho Peaceful tune

  36. J.... B....

    I like potatoes

  37. N.... S....

    haa gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

  38. e.... ....

    how about you both just be quiet about religion and focus on music! :D

  39. M.... n....

    awesome!

  40. A.... ....

    Is it wrong to wait for the drop?

  41. C.... O....

    This song reminds me Iron & Wine

  42. A.... C....

    dude..... I'm not religious but you don't have to believe in god to know that Jesus was a real person xD Just sayin'

  43. S.... O....

    I can't believ that I am just now discovering this heart felt, passionate music that is so unnervingly awe inspiring. William, your music, vocals and lyrics are some of the greatest things these ears ever had the pleasure of listening to. Simply amazing, thank you.

  44. L.... W....

    why have I only just heard of this man? more than amazing.

  45. E.... M....

    dude, i'm atheist too, but jesus is also some kind of a synonym for goodness and redemption, so just shut up.and i bet i'll find one middle easterner with a voice kinda like this...

  46. C.... ....

    I love his simplicity. Just him and a couple of stringed instruments... So perfect

  47. A.... R....

    Need tabs for this :(

  48. L.... A....

    I remember listening to this for the first time in my bedroom's closet, just sitting there and crying. It's been 6 years since I've listened to the song, but it's still as beautiful as ever

  49. j.... ....

    sweet sugar this is pretty

  50. N.... ....

    clearly you've heard no middle-easterners sing.

  51. s.... ....

    Brilliant and haunting

  52. A.... ....

    Love you WF!!! <3 Love from India..Hugs from Deutschland..Ich liebe Dich und Dein Musik.. :))) LOVE.PEACE to all HUMANKIND!!! <3

  53. C.... W....

    This song is lovely. Enough said.

  54. m.... ....

    if you finish your opinion with "xoxox" you're not to smart to deserve a reply from me. but i'm a good guy and i'm gonna tell you this : you're scientifically illiterate and you really need to understand how the human body works before acting like a stupid "wiseman". trust me, i'm an engineer!

  55. m.... ....

    both of you are morons. one because you're listening to "dubstep" (how in the hell did you reach this beautiful song anyway?). the other one, because jesus is as real as vampires. stop assigning what's beautiful in this world to gods, fictional characters and shit!!! this man gave me this pure music, jesus gave me nothing!

  56. D.... ....

    this song is so beautiful, like a sidedish to a cold sunday afternoon when all you do is read a good book and drink your tea

  57. d.... ....

    I'm not religious, but I would prefer the company of someone who is religious and appreciates good music rather than someone who is angry and insults other people's beliefs.

  58. R.... D....

    thought so ..

  59. j.... ....

    i do, thank you<3

  60. R.... D....

    you need a hug come here !!

  61. j.... ....

    jesus was probably a middle easterner, his voice would not sound anything like this
    this also assuming you're dumb enough to believe in god

  62. K.... S....

    lovely!

  63. F.... ....

    epic comment :)

  64. D.... D....

    What a lovely thing to say. I quite agree.

  65. p.... ....

    if jesus had a beard it would look like his

  66. g.... ....

    i wouldn't say mainstream but more exposed, William Fitzsimmons reminds me of Iron & Wine

  67. J.... J....

    This exactly how he sounds like :-))

  68. l.... ....

    i wonder his story behind his lyrics...

  69. n.... Q....

    Watery eyes c';

  70. a.... g....

    god bless him and his beard

  71. J.... Z....

    who would everyone say is his mainstream equivelent? i want to compare the number of views of a shitty artist to a god like this.

  72. J.... ....

    No, he was actually a mute. In the bible verse 12, sonnet 15 it states: "And Jesus came upon a mountain of dildos and was speechless."

  73. J.... H....

    listen to my cover please :D william is unreal <3

  74. S.... U....

    As do I, my friend.

  75. B.... d....

    It is Jesus!

  76. E.... I....

    thankyou so much for reccomending him! i love it!!!!!!!!

  77. j.... ....

    Everyone here has great taste in music. Therefore, you should go listen to James Vincent McMorrow.

  78. P.... E....

    wtf im in heaven ????

  79. c.... ....

    I just want to be not what I am today..

  80. J.... S....

    This solidifies my hope and faith in art.

  81. D.... ....

    @Eljka686 did you even try to use your ears?

  82. C.... B....

    @fartsandburps at least your not boring with making up names XD

  83. y.... ....

    This song is so good! Now stop reading comments and listen to this song!

  84. A.... O....

    @fartsandburps
    I love all types of music. It's refreshing to see other people who don't just separatel music into what they like and don't like, but just appreciate music itself.

  85. V.... D....

    @Eljka686 Acoustic.

  86. f.... ....

    I was born in 1988 and I love music. I love FitzSims.

  87. g.... ....

    Who cares when you were born? Just enjoy the music.

  88. d.... j....

    born in 1995 grown up with william Fitzsimmons ^_^ my hero when i was 5 and it still is :-)

  89. F.... B....

    @fartsandburps : I was born in 1996... I tell you, this is not boring music.

  90. a.... g....

    people who dislike videos like these need a serious grip of their lives.

  91. m.... ....

    @fartsandburps

    "little monsters" do not know what they are talking about. keep listening to stuff like this. the world needs more youngsters from the 90's and 00' to embrce this :)

  92. P.... P....

    god I made something wrong.. thanks for making me cry <3 I really need it right now..

  93. p.... m....

    @fartsandburps i wonder if people voted you up because of your comment or because of your name

  94. M.... C....

    So magical ;3

  95. d.... ....

    Saw this live yesterday. Great Guy! :)

  96. M.... P....

    @ROFLMAOROFLCOPTER to be honest it's a little hard to take YOU seriously with a username like that.

  97. M.... ....

    @fartsandburps its hard to take you seriously with a name like that

  98. S.... C....

    This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The first time it came up on my internet radio station my jaw dropped to the floor and was not picked back up for the entire six minutes of this song. Very few song, if not any, have ever made me do that.

  99. C.... L....

    Man, everyitme i hear any song by this Fitzsimmons, i really feel for him. It's good to know someone still has emotions :) thanks WIlliam
