Salvation

[Verse 1]

I tried to vocalize my troubles but nobody would listen

I know I’m cryptic and I’m weird, that shit comes off as indifferent

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep an ear to the ground

Or spend three years soaking in formaldehyde (Uh-oh)

Keep an ear to the ground

Or spend three years alone and traumatized (Uh-oh)

[Chorus]

Where does the pain go?

Turns out that no one knows

You fed me a fable

And I followed the rainbow

Nothing is stable

I wish you’d just say so

I followed my dreams and now

I’m seeking salvation

[Verse 2]

(And he forgave me... God!)

(But I don't deserve it, God damn it)

Reset, no, I don’t wanna feel that again

I would’ve been productive with my time

If I wasn’t so scared of an outcome

That didn’t come true

Depressed, no, I don’t wanna feel that again

I would’ve been somebody if I wasn’t so

Insistent on being a facade of myself

The panic, the vomit

The panic, the vomit

God loves his children

God loves his children, yeah

The panic, the vomit

The panic, the vomit

God loves his children

God loves his children, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep an ear to the ground (The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit)

Or spend three years soaking in formaldehyde (God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah)

Keep an ear to the ground (The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit)

Or spend three years alone and traumatized (God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah)

[Chorus]

Where does the pain go?

Turns out that no one knows

You fed me a fable

And I followed the rainbow

Nothing is stable

I wish you’d just say so

I followed my dreams and now

I’m seeking salvation

Where does the pain go?

Turns out that no one knows

You fed me a fable

And I followed the rainbow

Nothing is stable

I wish you’d just say so

I followed my dreams and now

I’m seeking salvation

[Verse 3]

(But, wait... I don't know what to do)

(Sure you do! After everything, how could you not?)

I’ve made so many mistakes and I’m sick of it

I don’t wanna sing about how I hate myself

Anymore, I want it over and done

25 years have amounted to nothing much

Watching everyone succeed in the industry

Watching my hard work decay into atrophy

Watching my checking break even month after month

Watching TV turns my default mode network off

Eyes glued to screens for upwards of 8 hours

The media is god and I am a coward

Duality in knowing human creation’s

The meaning of life and I don’t get a say in it

I just wanted to be somebody special

I thought I was seeking my parents’ approval

In the end, I failed despite how hard I tried

I guess it’s time to hang it up and go swallow my pride

(Hocus Pocus)

(Fourty-six)

[Chorus]

Where does the pain go? (God loves his children, yeah)

Turns out that no one knows

You fed me a fable (God loves his children, yeah)

And I followed the rainbow

Nothing is stable (God loves his children, yeah)

I wish you’d just say so

I followed my dreams and now (God loves his children, yeah)

I’m seeking salvation
