lyrics

I was keepin my 2 cents in a pocket of flesh
I was rollin my bad days into cigarettes
I got a soul to meet, and I’m prepared for you to leave
Til the day that I can look you in the eye

Ever wish you was a blackbird or a sycamore tree
Ever ask the creator what they made you to be
I’ll wrestle with the gods myself and you can pray for someone else
If all your prayin’s for a part of me to die

Please know I love you
And know that if I didn’t, I’d’a kept my damn mouth shut
It’s hardly new
For me to lie

But you want the truth
Least that’s what ya say, though of late don’t know bout what
It’s hard to do
And it takes time

Don’t wait up, no don’t wait up for me
That hill you’re dyin on ain’t Golgotha but Gethsemane
You’re cryin, "Abba, father, why have you forsaken me?"
While your hands hold a sword and your ear it bleeds

Ask me what, what do I need from you?
I told ya all I need’s for you to say you’re human too
I’ve screamed it wrote it out in kerosene my temple through
Your blind assurance is a yolk bound to the privileged few
