You can quote King James until you bleed
That just sound like other languages to me
You can talk this lamp unto your feet
Talk until you choke
That just sound like ancient brittle speech
Just mass opiates
They splashed the holiest anointed H2O and
Gave us baths til we're soaked in it
We're baptize and fully immersed
The church was pushy at first
But now his testimony's fully rehearsed
They say a doubting Thomas prowled around among us
The substance of the things we hoped for
Never kept him honest
But I just wanna feel some nail scars
Hearing secondhand is for the foolish
So let me see it for myself, God
Surrender to reason or reason to surrender
I know the bullet points you see they easy to remember
You were born of a virgin
You rose on the third and
You're the only one I love that I ain't never seen in person
As above then so below
Pierce this darkness in my soul
Don't let me waste away
(Don't let me waste away)
They say as within, then so without
Thy kingdom come to erase my doubt
You got holes inside your hands
That I ain't seen
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
Basically I'm facing the complacency of an amazing dream
While the latency of time's metronome
Sets the tone to '83
One year away from the future
Shooters
And pondering my decay into squandering life away
And the fear that the that you might convey isn't real
Just the flight's delayed
Nevertheless it seems better to stress and feel depressed
At the terminal check when leaving the nest, um
Be anxious for nothing but with every request
Let patience hover like spaceships above you
Just face it He loves you
With a love that's amazing like races of two on CBS
Success is now in the past, present and future tense
Tensely hoping and wishing
And missing the wisdom that's given to Givens
From him that's risen as the intellect
Of the father of legions of many sons and daughters
Speaking of dream sequences
Deliver me from dead
As above then so below
Pierce this darkness in my soul
Don't let me waste away
(Don't let me waste away)
They say as within, then so without
Thy kingdom come to erase my doubt
You got holes inside your hands
That I ain't seen
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
Yeah
I am a simple man
I choose to believe the best in us
Have long since counted the cost
Tossed away any bags of stones
And brags of any loans
At times I'm borrowing
Fighting to the death of me to get death out of me
Looking at the crowd like our soul needs a breather
Want the Turn Up or the Time then I'm sorry I'm neither
I believe God is whispered in windows
Through the love of our children and loss of kinfolk
Heavy handed pen stroke quotes for my departed
We can be a picture, a glimpse, a mirror
This is not it but let's live it to the fullest
Tossing up mantras to clear our consciousness
Looking for reflections in messages of our collective interest
And modeling life outside bodies
Just tryna keep my marriage happy
Sip the Van Winkle Pappy
Live in the blessing of already but not yet
As above then so below
Pierce this darkness in my soul
Don't let me waste away
(Don't let me waste away)
They say as within, then so without
Thy kingdom come to erase my doubt
You got holes inside your hands
That I ain't seen
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
Help me believe what I can't see
Believe what I can't see
