about

written and recorded summer of 2020

lyrics

trying to find a line to help me fill in the blanks
it's been hard to sleep in but you never really seem awake
March, April, May I couldn't tell you the month much less the day
No direction or purpose you tell yourself it ain't all worthless
You're out of control
You're out of control
You're spinning out of control
You're out of control
Stand close to the edge you can hear it all start to break
It's been coming for years there ain't no hiding from our mistakes
Justify all your decisions and reasons you believe it all
It don't bother you long as your stocks don't fall.
You're out of control
You're out of control
You're out of control
You're out of control
Jesus saves the sinners you say
I think it is just the opposite way
Jesus saves the sinners you say
I think it is just the opposite way
You'll do whatever it takes
to fill up your piggy banks
All the sacrifice to satisfy
and don't forget to donate
for tickets into the gates
to the bucket on Sunday
after your selfies on a grave
they'd follow you anywhere
craziest shit I swear
and it rattles my bones
the less I seem to know
I've got to row row it away
and it's scaring me
how I can get so angry
I've got to row row it away
I've got to row row it away
I've got to row row it away
Jesus saves the sinners you say
I think it is just the opposite way
Jesus saves the sinners you say
I think it is just the opposite way
