On the Cross
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were taught to kneel and bow our heads
i tried simply standing up instead
heard rummors of transparent legs
and walks for days and days
these days we reach for so much more
we reached the point where we cant go home
alone we wait here undergroung
amidst the others waiting..
so pray then, if it makes you feel safe
all I can say is we go our on way
we go our on way, so save us!
you were guessed you were the chosen one
the right place, you were the firstborn son
once questioned stable state of mind
to spend some time in the gutter
a full collapse and caving in
just wait for faith to kick in
lost track of time, as I stood in line
amidst the other believers.
so pray then, if it makes you feel safe
all I can say is we go our on way
we go our on way, so save us!
over and over and I still can not believe
we cant save ourselves
give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed
no ask for help
having faith in something you cant see
takes something new
over and over and I still can not believe
we can save ourselves
so pray then, if it makes you feel safe
all I can say is we go our on way
send your prays our way, to save us!
