[Verse]
Yeah
They say a few could feel a spirit rise long before we cry
To the moon soarin'
And we just wanna catch a high to get that feelin'
Any time we're not dealin' with what's important
'Cause it feels too gorgeous, we do it too often
We know it's too dangerous, we know we're too lost
But there's devils and angels from two angles
So I need two crosses, I need two halos, I need new options
God save us, we need to be strong through losses
It's hard, that's all that I pray for
And all of my songs have taught them
Every day is to savor, but all of our wrongs are costin'
All in all I'm just thankful, but Satan calls and keeps callin'
And all of our moms are fuckin' exhausted, all of our dreams fallin'
Ever since my feet dangled, I've been sowin' the Reaper's cloth Growin' cold in the street, losin' focus, throwin' my sleepin' off
Broken knowin' I'm weak
I've been smokin' wishin' I wasn't
But there's open wounds and this pit in my stomach
The words just come to me like the fireflies and butterflies float
But sting like a bumble bee
I've finally found what's under my nose
Because the recipe is faith that I can humble my woes
They wanna fuck with me and buckle my hope, but they don't come close
And you can judge me, but only God has seen everything
It used to be the pills, but now only God'll make sense to me
Sometimes I'm still thinkin' about killin' me
And seein' the devil smile at it
There's still that feelin' I dream of feelin', that's why I'm nappin'
Because life in its entirety tires me
It's like the "Merrily Merrily"
But inside of me's spiraling
It's like I'm barely holdin' on just by the tiniest line of string
That I carry on my own, until I'm finally smiling
[Outro]
"The devil went to turn him, you know, he'd turn us all. He tried to. I wanna thank you, Lord, that um, you're greater. You know, you're greater working the—and he was in the Lord. Bill, I love you. Talk to you tomorrow, bye."
