lyrics

its so damn easy
to say when your believing
but God isn't the one blessing America
when everyone's around
with their hats glued to their chest
proudly the church will feed everyone but forgot to hug the homeless
can you hear me, i tried to sing my song in-between the church bell trance that seems to be bringing everyone home

i heard revival.
It was never in the 8 steps to freedom and 5 years in your bible
but in the heart of one, its a heart that finally sung, it is over, finished.

I've been dying, not the kind of way that leaves you breathless
the kind that when done you say you lost some flesh for peace
i hope they never find me
with my head between my knees
after stomping out the fire, ashes of lament still on my feet
my infant mind won't stop teething,
nervously matching everyone's opinions to my faith

comfortable people
shackled yet moving with ease
polished and paid well
we advertise that were free
do what feels right
follow the majority
obey with with eyes closed
egypt died cause of a fire they didn't see
