My friends are taking pills or they're snorting cocaine
That Uncle Sam imported on military planes
Or else they've got careers
And they're running down the clock with a six pack of beers

You know the mission trips are scams
They do more harm than good
We got fame hungry pastors
Making bank in Hollywood

Let, let it be known
If my heart stops? And I’m cold to the bone ~
No answer will ever be found
As they carry me down

My friends are college graduates, but they can't get a job
They can't pay they bills they have; they have to steal and rob
From country club members asleep down by the pool
They may not get to heaven, but they ain't nobody's fool

I wonder if you still have the flowers that i brought you at work the day you dumped me
hope it wasn't a waste of money

This one's for the kids
Who have their sexual awakening
At the youth group lock-in, it must have been confusing
And I hope you're doing well
Bе kind to yourself, take care of that kid
You'rе not what they said about you
And a loser in a button-up can't send you to Hell, no

i watch the nail glow red, turn my teeth into ash
you've got eyes like fire and i'm feeling cashed
with grief in my lungs i will choke on your silence,
your breath on my lips and the patterns that bind us

And I'll take the Lord's name in vain
I'll get a tattoo and I'll smoke and I'll drink
And I'll have a little coffee but not too much coffee
'cause coffee makes me anxious just like you make me anxious

I don't know how to get away, from these bad thoughts, from these bad thoughts
They keep on leading me astray, I get lost, I get lost

Shore up the crucifixes
Above the archways and the doors
The magpie will come at midday
And you will go down on all fours
