Prisoner 04:27
lyrics

They bastardized your hymns there when they sang in minor key I stole a perfect anger my savior God from thee And twice before the cock crow he said now what you seem to say to me I don't know this man given up to unbelief What desolations he hath made within this soul This resignation like a black hole A lust for death, the one you claimed you beat desire it's thrust like a dog in heat Each man's head an island strangled and remote This gut is seething caustic but this grave opens at my throat But now your blessing can locate my ability to cope Silence bests a toxic brand of hope I feel the strength of stones simple and complete dry bones with a quiet peace And right behind my eyes a seed of faith and love, a pustule full of syrup stuff YEEEEAAAAH!!! I AM A PRISONER OF WHO I AM! AND I AM SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU! I AM A PRISONER OF WHO I AM! AND I AM SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU!

Little sunset cloud in the sky above You were sent by God to show us of His love When the golden sun has set, you go drifting by Making pretty pictures in the western sky

about

When I first started anti-depressants, my dad would always tell me "remember where your true ability to cope comes from" and tap his finger to his chest. While what he was trying to tell me was generally unhelpful, I've adopted a productive misreading of it lately. My ability to cope comes from the darkness of my heart, my pain and the relationship I have with it. In a similar way, I've also been able to navigate my faith and relationship with Jesus Christ, which is riddled with doubt, confusion, contradiction, and despair. The more I encounter all these feelings, the more ordinary they become to me, and the less I give a fuck. I hope I feel better at some point. I also hope one day I understand why I believe in God even when I'd rather not. But at this point, I'll just roll with it and write sloppy songs about it and get by. By the way, let's bring back rock organ, it's fabulous.

John 20:29
