Armageddon
04:22
|
|||
I met the Devil, he’s so kind to me
My best friend
I bargained with him, he’s gonna make me feel
Beautiful again
I play with fire, hoping that the flames
Won’t be kind
But smashing my mirrors won’t destroy my face
I’m so messed up inside
Nothing’s really changed!
Dad, I’m still the same
Keep finding myself, scattered among everybody else
Falling on my knees, father hear me out
I’d be so happy, without your voice this loud
I can’t stand myself! I am so alone
I miss your warm embrace, help me get back home
Nothing’s really changed!
Dad, I’m still the same
Keep finding myself, scattered among everybody else
See, I contend, that when God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden, it had nothing to do with a punishment—no penance for disloyalty
I contend, and with some confidence, that Abba knew their souls couldn’t be caged
Their minds too extraordinary to be occupied in ways so easy
They’d never have to feel pain! Not even a dabble in suffering
And that’s just no fun at all
I am sure that when our Father planted that apple tree smack dab in the middle of the Garden of Eden, it makes more sense logically that he’d do so with reason
Like he was hoping these lost and naked vagabonds would venture into a world that he could not make for them
He wanted us to leave him
And look, I think his children moving out was agonizing, but even Abba knew that there aren’t lessons he could teach them
And in that beautiful garden, with trees whose trunks stretched upward for miles, whose leaves brushed the stratosphere
With streams that carried their fish like they were newborn babies, tenderly
Fruits that held elixir like it were sugar water, he knew that, trapped there, pain couldn’t reach them
And life just wouldn’t be worth it without some pain
Nothing’s really changed!
Dad, I’m still the same
Keep finding myself, scattered among everybody else
Nothing’s really changed!
Dad, I’m still the same
Keep finding myself, scattered among everybody else

In Hell
03:46
|
|||
I was born a fighter, teeth bared and claws extended
War is all I know!
But I was born inside her, I need intimacy
To keep my power going
Crossed the fucking desert, swam in my own deep depression
My demons know me well
But living here is lonely, far from anyone who knows me
I’d rather burn in hell
In hell, in hell
Give me your flames of glory
In hell, in hell
At least then I’m feeling something (x3)
Maybe I just make excuses, I’m so useless. No one’s here
Maybe I expect too much
But what’s the fucking point of living, these long nights ain’t been forgiving
I’ve been dying for your touch!
Your touch, your touch
Give me your flames of glory
Your touch, your touch
At least then I’m feeling something (x3)
Father make me whole
Teach me how to live alone
Liberate my soul
Cause my chest is getting heavy, and I’m not breathing till she tells me
In hell, in hell
You’re addicting my moon and my stars
In hell, in hell
Let your breaths match the beat of my heart
In hell, in hell
I get breathless chasing after your spark
In hell, in hell
It’s too bad I don’t know who you are
I guess I’ll just rot in hell
Give me your flames of glory
Guess I’ll just rot in hell
At least then, I’m feeling something (x3)

Jesus, I'm Lying
04:20
|

Wrap me up and bring me home,
I can’t face this life alone
Help me feel your love so true,
Cause I’ve been running far from you
And I’ll say, “Jesus, you’re mine.”
But I think, Jesus, I’m lying
Heal my scars and take the pain
Show me justice in your name
I used to trust the things you do
But there are people who use you to make me feel shame
And I’ll say, “Jesus, you’re mine.”
But I think, Jesus, I’m lying
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
A human church is bound to fall
But I want truth, or none at all
I guess today your name is home,
Cause I’ve got nowhere else to go, for now
And I’ll say, “Jesus, you’re mine.”
But I think, Jesus, I’m lying

Summer Nights
04:08
|
|||
I’ve been letting go of summer nights
I will let the seasons change
I convinced myself that here, with the skies so blue to clear,
None of this could slip away
And since I met you by the shore side,
I mixed up happiness with sunlight
But I think it’s time enough I see, yeah, your touch is killing me
Friend, I’ll be on my away
And I’ll take these long nights on my own, with my palms open wide
And my head to the sky, catching snowflakes
I’ll be okay
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ve been letting go of summer nights
I can’t wait to be okay
Today is the last time that I’ll pretend to be fine
With choking inside your embrace
And since I met you by the shore side,
I was blinded by the sunlight
But today I will begin, to make a home in my own skin
Even the parts that I don’t like
And I’ll take these long nights on my own, with my palms open wide
And my head to the sky, catching snowflakes
I’ll be okay
I’ll be fine

Maybe, friends are only here to entertain me
Cause laughing makes me wish I wasn’t dead
And lately, I’ve been showering in bitterness like sunbeams
Hoping to drown the voices in my head
Save me, look I’ve tried this thing alone, and I’ve been praying
But Jesus can’t appear, he don’t exist
Take me, grab me by the shoulders, fucking shake me
Wake me up this nightmare never ends
And I know what you taught
But you’re wrong, and I’m not
Frankly, I’ve been getting bruised by my own heartbeat
Has anyone alive survived this pain?
I can’t keep treating my existence like the lottery
Betting all I have to win some change
And I know what you taught
But you’re wrong, and I’m not
I’m not wrong

I Believe in Change
I am not afraid of a new tomorrow
I will be okay, even if I’m broken
I believe in change, I’ve believed in Jesus
I’ll survive this day, I’ll live past this moment

Prozac
03:04
|

Mom says I’m still sad, “Is that Prozac working?”
And I’m like, “Mom, chill out.”
Spring quarter’s been bad, I’ve been healing slowly
Watching tulips sprout
Prozac, I just wanted you to know that
You put a smile on my face
You light a fire in my heart
And I think that I’ll be okay
Cause there’s a part of me inside that’s changed
Ultraviolet in my soul, no more hiding from the dark
Sometimes I’m still sad. “Is that Prozac working?”
And I’m like, girl, you’re fine!
You learned how to love everyone around you
Keep your growth in mind
Prozac, I just wanted you to know that
You put a smile on my face
You light a fire in my heart
And I think that I’ll be okay
Cause there’s a part of me inside that’s changed
I’ve got a family that raised me well
Even if they’re a thousand miles away
Be free!
Loosen up those chains
Turn from your old ways
Let your mind explore itself
Be free!
Make this world your home
Never drive alone
Don’t be scared of harmonies
