Chasing God 01:46

This is bad sick Time passes mad quick If your doing backflips or sleeping on a mattress If I had a nickel for every fickleness I've practiced I would make the head of Bill Gates turn backwards Every actor and actress They can dodge facts but they can’t dodge taxes They get large plaques but they can’t solve madness Body gets waxed but it’s all just ashes I’ve been chasing God I’ve been chasing Mercury and lightning I’ve been pressing hard I’ve been coming up short Lately I’ve been thinking about What’s going to happen with you and I I need a new religion Or I need a new lie Try hard to act courageous Traveling the Appalachians Gather lacerations as the pastor’s chanting affirmations I trap my reservations Cast down high my imaginations Washed away replaced with faith Through pages of the book of Galatians Look at the racists Look at the cases Look at the haters hating Look at the things they saying Look at the playlists Look at the way they stage it Look at the facts and face it Look at the mad amazing Grace The man of faith’s the one that comes through unscathed I’ve been chasing God I’ve been chasing Mercury and lightning I’ve been pressing hard I’ve been coming up short Lately I’ve been thinking about What’s going to happen with you and I I need a new religion Or I need a new lie

Lambs to the Slaughter 03:14
lyrics

Dead in the water Like lamb to the slaughter If the wind doesn't sing her song And I'm speaking in tongues Cause I need a Holy Ghost Dead in the water fishes swim under the body That person should have turned their life around instead of party We all know the consequences of being naughty But probably watch the funeral No one ‘ell talk about it Solomon and the atheist knew there’s no point applauding Cus when our time is up I promise that you won’t be pardoned Death is coming It’s making its rounds A dragonfly wing Twirls downward to the ground It lands 'top a the brown sweater On the corpse that floats face down Under shadows of sycamore trees Crickets chirp loud Brown leaves dead on the ground A twig snaps Shhhh Nearby lambs are lead to the slaughter Are they “mercenaries or lovers” I wonder about the shepherds ahead and behind them Used to protect them from predators But now they bind ‘em Look how they lined 'em All in a row before they go silent Blind to the fact their butcher is the one who guides them Eyes on the back feet of the next lamb in line Wish I could go tell ‘em Your life is more than your dying You must think for yourself But I know there’s no use in trying They’d follow all the way off a cliff in their blind compliance Shepherd knows of their weakness To him it’s science Dead in the water Like lamb to the slaughter If the wind doesn't sing her song And I'm speaking in tongues Cause I need a Holy Ghost Ghost Ah The wind howls The stomach growls The ships bow is pointing to the West If the wind doesn’t sing There’s only war and unrest Pour the gunpowder out Till you’re the only one left And even in a crowded room The loneliness and stench Is still palpable and casual At this point Exclamation point All capitals How can we experience the love without the power too? How can we experience the love without the shower too? Without it who... Shoot... Who am I? Shoot Who are you? "Who are we?" Confusion rules but God does not create confusion Or dissolving of communities or constantly accusing Yo I need the Spirit like I need my breath Or like a ballerina needs balance when attempting a pirouette “Gho-” Serious as death Keeps me checked Not having the spirit is an irritant Give Him credit if I’m here when you find me For every good characteristic ever inside me Guides me kindly Binds my mind Reminds me because of Christ I can fly with my sins behind me Dead in the water Like lamb to the slaughter If the wind doesn't sing her song And I'm speaking in tongues Cause I need a Holy Ghost

Ocean Floor 02:13

Yah yah yah yah Yah yah yah yah In the North Sea where all the oil be He wears a yellow suit as he sinks flamboyantly He said to his fiancé It’s like being to space Only you’re in the ocean Bubbles float by your face  And even though the jobs dangerous She ain’t wanna take away something that he loves so much His boots touch the seafloor It’s a relief from being stuck in a free fall Where you can’t see at all Sort of calm Like it’s all fine But the storm’s up above And it all hit the fan Got a call Told him pull yourself up back to the boat Even the captain who called ain’t had this happen before Oxygen cord got caught Started to snap as it broke Now five minutes of oxygen is all that's left in his suit Figures if he can get to the oil rig maybe they’ll find him But it’s pitch black There’s no one to dispatch him or guide him No time for idling He picks a direction and walks it His hands in front of him Like a blind man in the darkness He’s trying to not to think about How he could be found as a carcass He’s surprised as he walks right into his target Climbing up to the top of the platform Hoping they’ll come back for him Until it all goes black Meanwhile back at the ship His whole crews' been watching Through a robot they sent Hoping to boost his confidence On their way now But they know the clocks ticking It’s been thirty minutes and counting His oxygen has been down And yet one of his friends was praying the whole time He’s not religious but convinced No way his friend is goin’ die Did I crawl out of the creek bed? Off the sea floor? Baby, just to live like this! Pulls him and gives him CPR Opens his mouth wide Tries another time  One more time One last hope try and He starts breathing Hearts beating He can Yah yah yah yah Yah yah yah yah

Not the End of the World 02:31

If I die it’s not the end of the world If I never get a job it’s not the end of the world If I never write a song that’s a pearl If this makes me wanna hurl Yup That’s not the end of the world If I settle for less than the best in the world Being stressed to death’s not the end of the world Being homeless asking for help on the curb with a dog Torn shirt It's not the end of the world Never get a job in tech Never earning ya’ll respect Never the less it’s not the end of the world Best of the both worlds or the depths of lowness Being depressed and hopeless Not the end of the world I know I know Cus I’m still here Still care but I feel fear Although Although I know It’s not the end of the world for sure I don’t I don’t Feelings sure feel strong right before they’re gone I shrunk I shrunk At the same time center of the universe um... It’s not the the end of the world Stop drama it’s not the end of the world Your fine it’s not the end of the world Calm down it’s not the end of the world At times it feels quite the opposite Like all eyes are on the consequence And everyone and their mama knows I’m incompetent Drama like I’m caught in a sauna Or accomplishments are larger than they are It defies common sense Counting all compliments Snobbish and competitive False confidence like a sedative Yet it is not the end of the world If I die today or stop doing anything of worth or for pay Or publish every day Or leave the USA Or do nothing but pray Or even leave my faith Delete my social media and eat nothing but cake Might be a mistake but the orbit wouldn’t break If I do nothing but DoorDash Move to another state If my friends leave If my friends stay Join the seminary Or move to LA Or NYC Or never move away Or read all of my books Or never read a thing Ain't the end of the world either way’s what I’m saying Take all my time to chasing a dang dream Paralysis by analysis for the remainder Painter A plaguerer Minor majorer Caterer World changer They say it ain’t occur Ain't it sure true That the world’s still blue and green Still spinning Know what I mean? It’s not the the end of the world Stop drama it’s not the end of the world Your fine it’s not the end of the world Calm down it’s not the end of the world
