Album: Reverence (2018)

  • I spoke a vow today and asked if God would come and play
    I've dug a shallow hole for him to sleep
    But I swear he just won't answer me
    I call on out, is he afraid?
    I'll bury him down with the ones he keeps
    And if the devil is listening, I'll come for him as well
    If I suspect he had a hand to play
    And if I see his face in town, there's room for two down underground
    Nothing's gonna stop me till I'm done

    Until I'm done
    Until I'm done
    Until I'm done
    Until I'm done
    'Cause tonight I'm killing gods

    Killing gods

    It's guilt and frustration, it's everything between
    The silence and the absence hitting home
    Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound
    I never knew I'd miss until it's gone
    So ask me how I'm coping, and I'll smile and tell you: "I'm just fine"
    While down inside I'm drowning in the fucking rain

    Because when everything is empty
    And your heart is set to cave
    Sometimes all you wish for is a place
    Is a place to place the blame

    Burn your heaven, flood your hell
    Drown you in your wishing wells
    Burn your heaven, flood your hell
    Damn you all, 'cause tonight I'm killing gods

    The incendiary shock wave scorched earth policy
    The devastation that only loss will leave
    The chants and incantations of daily rituals
    A subtle lapse in brutal honesty
    So ask me how I'm coping, and I'll smile and tell you: "I'm just fine"
    While down inside I'm screaming till I fucking bleed

    Because when everyone's expendable
    And your heart can't take the wait
    The last thing that you wish for is the face
    Is the face to face the pain

    Burn your heaven, flood your hell
    Drown you in your wishing wells
    Burn your heaven, flood your hell
    Damn you all, 'cause tonight I'm killing gods

    I spoke a vow today and asked if God would come and play
    'Cause I just wanna cut that fucker down

    Face me
    Face me
    Face me
    Face me
    Face me
    Face me, none survive
    Face me
    Face me, none survive, go
    None survive
    The devil and God have died inside me Writer/s: Ben Gordon, Jeff Ling, Jia O'Connor, Luke Kilpatrick, Winston McCall
