Heathen

Cinder blocks around my brain
Came to mock but I remain to
Pray, oh, pray
Am I talking to myself,
Talking to myself
Or brother are you with me?
The muscle of a temperate breeze
Could ko my philosophy
And I feel it shake,
I feel it shake
I'm at the belly of a well,
Talking to myself
Lover can you lift me?
Baby, are you still awake, hey, hey
Can I tell you about my night screams?
Would you teach a heathen how to pray?
Cinder blocks around my brain
Came to mock but I remain to
Pray, oh, pray
Axion shake, but I came to pray
I'm at the belly of a well,
Talking to myself
Lover can you lift me?
Baby, are you still awake, hey, hey
Can I tell you about the night screams?
Would you teach a heathen how to pray?
Oh, brother are you with me?
Baby, are you still awake, hey, hey
Can I tell you about the night screams?
Would you teach a heathen how to pray?
Would you teach a heathen how to pray?
Can I tell you about the lightning
Can I muster up a little faith?
