lyrics

Verse 1
There's gotta be something deeper than the physical realm I’m exhausted by religion even though I’m overwhelmed The time has come to find The One who moves beneath the surface Check your karmic debt before you make another purchase worthless attempting to circumvent the process Evolved intelligently tell me how could we be Godless Maybe there’s no deity resembling what you can see Truth is hard to find when your vision isn’t internally Focused they wanna hold jus back don’t you ever notice that The more you fight the tide it tends to rise I wanna flow in fact Ironically/ situations shift just like economy finding time for stillness resonate when I sit silently Maybe that’s the only place I’ll ever feel at Home Sometimes it really feels as if I’m walking all alone But that’s impossible the obstacle finding ways to follow through With what the Soul has told you even though it seems illogical Listen to The Call but just because it rings true Doesn’t mean the message sent was necessarily for you Patience will decipher the language of ancient writers scriptures never written in stone, bone or papyrus tell me is there such a thing as fate? I’d like to know if so it doesn’t matter what we do who’s in control? destiny suggests that my life is predetermined I’d like to think my will is Free but that don’t fit the sermon Chorus: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death gotta take a leap of faith/ is it free will or fate? walk through the valley of the shadow of death you never really know what’s next 'til you take your last breath

Verse 2
Wander in the Cosmos/ wondering what I’m supposed to do within this world with Spirit and science juxtaposed to me it’s kind of odd we separate ourselves from God with deeper connections to anthropomorphic facades [pause] Baptized at eleven tell me am I still saved? life got so much dirtier too numb to feel afraid for long/ my songs be the essence of confession but why go through a middleman my secrets need protection and who are you to judge? If it was Love wouldn't you guide me appreciate my life but why’s The Creator been hiding? so many subtle signs indelible consequences no need to memorize a myth the preachers beat us senseless burned millions of women got away callin’ em witches a torture manual was made and sanctioned by religious leaders did you need to bleed us dry? Convicted by the Evil Eye don’t condone the stoning of Crones/ The Truth is people lie stupid superstitions led to the West to Inquisition most the holy wars are over Muslim, Jew, or Christian which team you pickin? If you were born into tradition then did you truly have a choice in holding your position?that's the difference between freedom and living prison-bound still we drown in antediluvian illusions that sound like they make sense I prefer to take a stand with those who know Bill of Rights better than 10 Commandments

Bridge
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff they comfort me Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over/ my cup runneth over

Verse 3
What if nobody took all this mythology literallyProbably wouldn’t if they understood astrotheology The powers that be acting as God it's a conspiracy Religious killing spree I mean "is anybody hearing me?" That's what the child wondered as she prayed to an entity That didn't really listen the bombs dropped in her vicinity All we know is energy the rest is speculation What if all life is God no separation
