It could be your southern drawl[00:00:38]
Or how you limp when you walk[00:00:41]
That makes[00:00:43]
Me want to say[00:00:45]
All those things I never could[00:00:48]
A school boy crush carved into wood[00:00:50]
That fades[00:00:52]
In the rain[00:00:55]
You were born in a baptist house[00:00:58]
With a rusty spoon inside your mouth[00:01:00]
The taste[00:01:02]
Didn't go away[00:01:04]
And when the sun comes peaking out[00:01:07]
You work until it goes back down[00:01:09]
The days[00:01:12]
Are all the same[00:01:14]
With a baby boy strapped to your hip[00:01:17]
And a tiny cut above your lip[00:01:19]
That states[00:01:21]
God doesn't save[00:01:23]
Everyone who buys his book[00:01:26]
Some of us Get overlooked[00:01:28]
In a way[00:01:31]
It's a shame[00:01:33]
But you still walk in his light[00:01:36]
And say the same words every night[00:01:38]
I pray the lord my soul to keep[00:01:40]
But what about the rest of me[00:01:43]
My faith[00:01:45]
Can't take the weight[00:01:49]
The summers came and left like fall[00:01:56]
Ten thankless years of working hard[00:01:58]
The school bell rings the kids come home[00:02:00]
But you still feel like you're alone[00:02:03]
Because your husband holds his whiskey glass[00:02:05]
Tighter than a hero's past[00:02:08]
You rip those black beads off your throat[00:02:10]
And swap them out for a knotted rope[00:02:12]
The end[00:02:15]
Is your only friend[00:02:18]
You use that final rush of blood[00:02:25]
To say the things you never could[00:02:27]
I pray the lord that you will see[00:02:29]
In my eyes bulge out and my body swing[00:02:31]
Because I now I finally understand[00:02:34]
That jesus is like every man[00:02:36]
He tells you want you want to hear[00:02:39]
Until you fall in love and he disappears[00:02:41]
My faith[00:02:44]
Couldn't take the weight[00:02:47]
When the weight of the world[00:02:53]
Falls square on your shoulders[00:02:55]
A pin prick or missed call[00:02:57]
Can somehow destroy you[00:03:00]
We all are victims of warped expectations[00:03:03]
When people can't save us we suddenly hate them[00:03:08]
So much[00:03:12]
In fact[00:03:15]
That we lose our grasp[00:03:17]
On reality the responsibility[00:03:19]
That we have to ourselves[00:03:24]
And everybody else[00:03:29]
When the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders[00:03:32]
A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you[00:03:36]
We all are victims of warped expectations[00:03:41]
When people can't save us[00:03:46]
We suddenly hate them[00:03:48]
