about
this is the first overtly religious song i wrote. i was having panic attacks on a regular basis, which i misinterpreted as heart problems. so this song was sort of a prayer to god telling her/him/whatever not to kill me because i was feeling pretty damn good lately.
lyrics
your mind is deeper than darkness
your might is meeker than violence
in time i hope to believe that you love me
because, at least, from my perspective
the truth is always subjective
and as i see it you are a billion miles away
i've prayed and prayed to be healed of
all the things that i'm still unsure of
my body's insides that i never will see
i've touched your robe in my imagination
but i still feel this heavy sensation
of death of despair of the fear that i'm going insane
chorus:
but my lord, I won't give up
be it an empty or spilling cup
and this is first time i'm not wanting to kill myself
i finally believe my life is worth
each damned second since my birth
and my lord, i hope you recognize this wealth
your mysteries are confusing
your paintings always abuse me
each time you stare at me so emotionlessly
and the light feels good but i want the real things
cut grass the oceans and dead leaves
an angel awakening me at night
maybe your old mother mary
is up all night interceding
begging you to let this cup pass me by
oh i'm begging you to please listen to her
my soul's fine, my body needs the savior
i promise my future will be worth the fight
chorus
