Say Something

I used to worry bout being baptized
'front of a crowd I didn't know
thought if I didn't I would go to hell
I know its true now that I've grown
Pastor Jeremy poundin purity
but he's not exactly a man of God
he said to try to tell the lost the Truth
the lost was me and I was you
why can't I say something I know
I could just say something, but I don't
why can't I say something I know
I could just say one thing, but I don't
stand up, stare down
cast out the demons
I am a coward, I'm a conqueror
transgressor, redeemer
why can't I say something I know
I could just say something, but I don't
why can't I say something I know
I could just say one thing, but I don't
say something, just one thing
say something, some dumb thing

sometimes I think that I'll die in my sleep
so let's live with new things on the brink
and I'll try to do my best
and drink and smoke the rest
most days I think you'll live longer than me
so let's make the countdown worth its weight
the boys with toys and dates
and superhero faces
how come life sucks and I don't give a fuck
I wouldn't mind if I was high all the time
but I don't think that would help
and I'd miss the feels I felt
I used to pray that I'd hear what you say
but I can't tell what's what and I like it that way
cuz it makes me keep guessin
and always count my blessins

Bouncy, Wet
02:54

bouncy, wet, plump, pornographic
crushin feelings, fragile, tragic
pray for freedom cage the magic now
consequence of Mother Nature
or the Father's plan on paper
either way her fragrance floods my head
then again, I try to make amends
with the one that made women sin
now I know that I don't make blood flow
and the laws that led me low were all lies
Valerie and Mia danced like
David before Jesus and I
felt the Spirit lead us to lean in
then again, I try to make amends
with the one that made women sin
now I know that I don't make blood flow
and the laws that led me low were all lies

You Left

was it the smokes
off color jokes
or the one that you loved the most
each on our rockers
we are songbirds
beer and cigarettes respectively like our fathers
I don't know why
why you faded away
or got lost in time
I don't know why
why you left
or did I
was it the lord
that did afford
you some knowledge that I ignored
slow and graceful
like a play
full of actors that acted less faithful
I don't know why
why you faded away
or got lost in time
I don't know why
why you left
or did I

70x7

you scared the shit out of me
and there's release of energy
Jesus and Jim Dobson agree
justification seems strange
even so I curse the day
when I refuse to change
Father forgive me for you've sinned
70x7
don't know if I can forgive again
you showed me we'd make the means
to obedience from the trees
you sold yourself what you received
Father forgive me for I've sinned
70x7
my children don't know the half of it...

Saved
04:47
|
|||
|
grin on face holds heavy brow
eyes stuck open, your heads bow
"from our pain, may we be spared"
as if God Almighty cared...who cares
everyone saved thinks they know Christ
all things considered, think twice
everything will be alright
everyone meet in the sky
Your blood washed away my sin
whose blood could wash away yours then?
given holy looming threat
salvation's just my dust speck
everyone prays then roll the dice
after all that pain, think twice
everything won't be alright
everyone closes their eyes

You Do You

they dash around in my head
then make their bed there
they settle down in the ground
then they grow ten feet tall
be who you wanna be
know what you want too
go to the garden, Gethsemane
carry your cross as if you choose
there's a black hole in my soul
taking control
there's a tunnel. the light grows.
pressing on towards
be who you wanna be
know what you want too
go to the garden, Gethsemane
carry your cross as if you choose
Paul the Apostle said it best
despite that other shit he said
I know the things that I should do
and don't follow through

Minnesota Winter
03:33
|
|||
|
its so cold in Minnesota
like the view of my shoulder rolled over
but everybody knows we chose it
we chose it
don't wanna fight
you're right
its so warm in Indiana
from the front porch kids in sandbox diggin
but everybody knows we chose this
we chose this
I hope we're right
we're right
it's so brave of you to step out
in the blizzard that we crept out into
and everybody knows we chose it
we chose it
I think we're right
in hindsight, goddamn....you're right.
you're right

Eucharist

the tall trees
the daydreams
the whisper through the leaves
how sweet
the soft pine
the grapevine
the body and the wine
Divine
the slow and steady squeeze of time
stay with me please
don't leave
the rocks splash
the hard laugh
the feelin it won't last
alas
the way we can't quite grasp
the thing we try to capture
the slow and steady squeeze of time
stay with me please
don't leave
