lyrics

He rose up from beneath the tremors facing down He was casting any stone and he was standing his ground
Reeking of Jesus' Blood
A family of estranged sons and clowns And wed to Mrs. Abundance until she fell in a pool of opulence and drowned
And now redemption occupies all of his concerns though his focus misguided it was attention those children yearned

Emotional Dissonance Persistently distant and flawed
At old age "atonement" is just a front to score some brownie points with God

And up in the tenement A dance of disgrace Where the air's disingenuous The comments misplaced Where the nail in the coffin contacted saliva to face

He stumbles back inside his Chrysler and cries For he hasn't faced rejection in over 18 years' time
Motion the cameraman Keep that thing rolling don't pause
For an act of instigation is just stomping grounds for probable cause

Shhhhh

Yeah the truth hurts put out that fire first Or let it burn, because you "just plum forgot" You need a quencher to cure perpetual thirst at nearly 30, I thought by now it would stop I kidd you not I swear to God I shit you not

It's getting to your head an act of innocence bled for a golden pathway that's been recently paved Whether the orphanage
Whether you're commoner bred
This phallic cadence I hope to God it will stop I shit you not
I swear to God I hope you'll stop
