I Know The Gospel Now

Goddamnit Avery, it’s been nearly half a year
And nearly every night, no matter who I’m with
I never fail to say your name
I tell the preacher and the preacher says I’ve sinned
He swears sincerity’s the devil
“Son, you gotta purge it from your brain”
He passed the powder through a baptized glory hole
I took communion, started groovin’ with the dancin’
‘Tween my savior and my soul
Oh, I went forth from that confessional, reborn
And I felt clean and I felt holy
I flew out that bathroom door
And I want you to know that I’ve been saved
Dressed in white and stomping on my grave
I haven’t slept in seven days
Goddamnit Avery, does it gotta go this way?
It took some time but I’m divine
I know the gospel now, I’m sure you could’ve stayed
And I proclaim that god is poppin’ parachutes
Behind an alleyway with Jezebels
In reverence of you
People stop me on the street, they look concerned
And men in black with little books are gonna pray
More than my nose ain’t gonna burn
I look around, I’m pretty sure the bell has tolled
Oh, it’s a pretty thought, indeed
I just can’t say that I’ve been sold
And I want them to know that I’ve been saved
Dressed in white and stomping on my grave
I haven’t slept in seven days
Woah, Hallelujah
Woah, Hallelujah
Goddamnit, Avery, it’s been nearly half a year
And nearly every night, no matter who I’m with
I can’t stop tellin’ them your name
I tell the preacher and the preacher says I've sinned
He swears sincerity’s the devil
“Son, you gotta purge it from your brain”
Sincerity’s the devil
Son, you gotta purge it from your brain
You wanna meet your devil?
Boy, just keep sayin’ her name”

Rivers (We All Stared)

I don’t know why
But you’ve found your back in my mind
And it’s killin’ me
If I think hard I remember the day
People were crying
Didn’t know you were dying
‘Til you went and sealed the deal
At the height of your life
You just went and jumped down
And we all starred, unaware
That maybe we all could’ve cared
In spite of our folly
You and I both know
That rivers run deep
I saw your brother run up to the other
And fall below his knees
And the sound of his shuddering cries
Got the best of me
And I’m not holy
I don’t believe much
But that day left a mark
A fire to tend to
And something to live for
You said life wasn’t right
If we left all our sorrows in sight
And man, you weren’t wrong
But you and I both know
That rivers run
You and I both know
That rivers run deep
