" And the light, the light can make everything feel beautiful. |
| [00:07.660] |
It can make it feel safe, so safe that, like, in the night, |
| [00:12.220] |
we spend all of our time running away from our truths. |
| [00:15.770] |
And then we meet someone who tells us, |
| [00:17.940] |
' God will always love you, no matter what you do. |
| [00:21.490] |
The only thing that will never stop loving you is God.' |
| [00:26.490] |
And because of all of our darkness which at night I still run from, |
| [00:31.610] |
which at night we all still run from, we get stuck chasing light. |
| [00:37.080] |
That' s a Black Synagogue." |
| [00:39.560] |
" And God said that the meek shall inhabit the Earth! |
| [00:43.760] |
But there shall be masses, I said masses!, of bloodshed first! |
| [00:49.440] |
And that will open the floodgates of Heaven, |
| [00:52.840] |
and pour down upon us His blessings from the floor, to the ceiling, |
| [00:58.350] |
but only if you praise Him, I said praise Him, shall you receive His healing!" |
| [01:10.320] |
Save me from the pain |
| [01:12.740] |
I' m falling down |
| [01:14.170] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [01:16.940] |
I need you now |
| [01:18.270] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [01:22.080] |
Give me sanction |
| [01:24.420] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [01:26.290] |
Save me from the pain |
| [01:28.930] |
I' m falling down |
| [01:29.990] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [01:32.830] |
I need you now |
| [01:33.940] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [01:37.790] |
Give me sanction |
| [01:40.030] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [01:46.220] |
I been running from the pain in my brain |
| [01:47.980] |
Got stains on my scene while I search for the real me |
| [01:50.170] |
Search for the real me, lost in the night |
| [01:51.940] |
Only talk to angels when I' m lost in a height |
| [01:54.020] |
I don' t really wanna get lost in my mind |
| [01:56.000] |
So I pray until I feel I' m getting lost in the vibe |
| [01:58.020] |
Then I took the bottle up and I drink it to my what? |
| [01:59.910] |
Yep, drink it to my fucking soul' s lost in my eyes |
| [02:01.920] |
But I don' t really wanna drown no, ' cuz I' m not that trusting |
| [02:05.770] |
But I' ma keep coming ' round though, till I' m sure that I found something |
| [02:09.680] |
And when I tell you what it is, you better talk to God, remember |
| [02:11.910] |
No feelings, no thoughts allowed |
| [02:13.840] |
And if pain' s a trapdoor then I need God |
| [02:15.960] |
And so send someone to come walk me out |
| [02:17.790] |
But don' t think, don' t talk about it |
| [02:20.020] |
Wait, don' t sing, don' t tell nobody |
| [02:21.990] |
Wait, don' t drink, don' t fail your body |
| [02:23.710] |
Wait, don' t scream, no, fucking shout it |
| [02:25.690] |
See, these voices in my head are the fucking loudest |
| [02:27.670] |
So belligerent, so fucking rowdy |
| [02:29.800] |
And my tunnel vision' s so fucking clouded |
| [02:31.770] |
And I don' t really have a motherfucking outlet |
| [02:33.790] |
So, I talk to God, but I don' t really know if He can hear me |
| [02:37.650] |
But you know Him well, and I think that you could bring Him near me |
| [02:41.700] |
So I keep praying, every word that I keep saying |
| [02:45.600] |
Every part of me that I needed shield from |
| [02:47.620] |
Every part of me that needs saving |
| [02:50.830] |
Save me from the pain |
| [02:52.750] |
I' m falling down |
| [02:54.170] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [02:56.950] |
I need you now |
| [02:58.060] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [03:02.130] |
Give me sanction |
| [03:04.250] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [03:06.220] |
Save me from the pain |
| [03:08.910] |
I' m falling down |
| [03:10.120] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [03:12.970] |
I need you now |
| [03:14.080] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [03:18.650] |
Give me sanction |
| [03:20.160] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [03:22.130] |
None of this' s real, when it calls you |
| [03:25.640] |
Thought I found you, now I' m lost too |
| [03:26.480] |
I' ve been listening to service sermons |
| [03:28.150] |
A lotta redefining, a lot of words reworded |
| [03:30.220] |
A lotta thoughts detected and thoughts suggested |
| [03:32.050] |
A lotta stuff that resonates with certain persons |
| [03:34.030] |
I' ve been searching for the truth but it' s embedded in lies |
| [03:35.850] |
Read every single verse until I' m red in my eyes |
| [03:37.840] |
And God' ll only hear you when you offering ties |
| [03:39.870] |
And protection is the truth |
| [03:41.540] |
But when the Devil' s a lie |
| [03:42.090] |
But what am I to do when the Devil is I? |
| [03:43.810] |
And everything I touch seems to shrivel and die? |
| [03:45.860] |
My mama always said I was a rebel inside |
| [03:47.940] |
But now I' m looking for some peace and a benevolent I |
| [03:49.880] |
And how it feels to need that, some humbling pie |
| [03:51.800] |
And how long it will take when it comes from the sky |
| [03:53.820] |
Means I' ll probably be waiting until I crumble and die |
| [03:55.900] |
And just wrestling with Satan while I' m struggling by |
| [03:57.820] |
So, I think, I talk about it |
| [03:59.700] |
Wait, I drink, I tell somebody |
| [04:01.720] |
Wait, I sink, I fail my body |
| [04:03.960] |
Wait, I scream, I' m fucking shouting |
| [04:05.770] |
Cause these voices in my head are the fucking loudest |
| [04:07.870] |
So belligerent, so fucking rowdy |
| [04:09.850] |
And my tunnel vision' s so fucking clouded |
| [04:11.830] |
And I don' t really have a motherfucking outlet |
| [04:13.860] |
So, I talk to God, but I don' t really know if He can hear me |
| [04:17.770] |
And you know him well, and I think that you could bring him near me |
| [04:21.820] |
So I keep praying, everything that I keep saying |
| [04:25.860] |
Every part of me that I needed shield from |
| [04:27.950] |
Every part of me that needs saving |
| [04:30.390] |
Save me from the pain |
| [04:32.620] |
I' m falling down |
| [04:33.680] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [04:36.720] |
I need you now |
| [04:37.730] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [04:41.930] |
Give me sanction |
| [04:43.810] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [04:46.150] |
Save me from the pain |
| [04:48.630] |
I' m falling down |
| [04:50.160] |
Don' t you hear me calling? |
| [04:52.890] |
I need you now |
| [04:54.060] |
Fill me ' til I' m whole with your holy light |
| [04:57.040] |
Give me sanction |
| [04:59.980] |
Can you bring me back to life? |
| [05:02.200] |
Did he die on the cross for this? |
| [05:04.480] |
Do you have any fucking proof? |
| [05:06.350] |
Everything here is manmade |
| [05:08.380] |
And I' m just searching for some fucking truth |
| [05:10.090] |
Cause everything they ever told me not to do |
| [05:11.870] |
Has always made me question what freedom is |
| [05:13.900] |
Why listen to the words when they not from you? |
| [05:15.770] |
And why feel judged when I freely live? |
| [05:17.800] |
Now I know what the fucking root of evil is |
| [05:19.920] |
And why peace is dead, but evil lives |
| [05:21.840] |
Everybody thinking they can talk to you |
| [05:23.710] |
And what they believe in they hearts are true |
| [05:25.760] |
Now they feel that they had the right to persecute |
| [05:27.740] |
Judge, doom to hell and come first to you |
| [05:29.810] |
Now I don' t really know who wrote the Bible |
| [05:31.790] |
But nothing under the sun goes unrecycled |
| [05:33.770] |
Take every shot you have with a fucking rifle |
| [05:35.740] |
Cause you rarely ever get a chance for revival |
| [05:37.820] |
So, just think, just talk about it |
| [05:39.800] |
Wait, just think, just tell somebody |
| [05:41.770] |
Wait, don' t blink, don' t fail your body |
| [05:43.550] |
Wait, just scream, just fucking shout it |
| [05:45.980] |
So the voices in your head fall abruptly silent |
| [05:47.750] |
And the blood in your veins flows rough and violent |
| [05:49.620] |
And you see everything with your lifted eyelids |
| [05:51.490] |
And every burden you carry is eventually lighted |
| [05:53.570] |
And you talk to God, even when you ain' t sure he hears you |
| [05:57.620] |
And you give it to Him, tell Him, He can keep the pain and fears too |
| [06:01.720] |
And you keep praying, only now you don' t repeat sayings |
| [06:05.630] |
Cuz you know when you let it go, then you receive Satan |
| [06:10.140] |
" How many people here look for Jesus to solve their problems? |
| [06:15.160] |
Lots of people. And how many of those people are fixed? |
| [06:17.230] |
None of them know fucking about shit, they' re all fucking fucked up. |
| [06:22.190] |
Anything to help you escape. |
| [06:24.840] |
It takes it, it takes something to just say, ' Fuck it! |
| [06:28.470] |
This is reality, I' m gonna deal with it!' |
| [06:31.450] |
But do we ever really deal with it? |
| [06:33.120] |
Deal with it, stop running, stop trying to find these substitutes? |
| [06:36.870] |
Stop trying to find Jesus in strangers, and Jesus in church, |
| [06:40.450] |
and God, and find God in yourself. Powerful thing, yeah?" |
