XX (City Grave)

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]

This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual

Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face

Privilege brings us to this place

Of human currencies

Buried our sisters in a glass display

Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline

Underneath we sell off the bodies

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls

Show me your righteous leader, I'll show you the bullet holes

The preacher [1] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls

"Shake off the sin, shake off the sin" and spit out your cacophony of lies

[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]

I'll climb through your screen

And bleed out the image you left in me [2]

But God, are you man?

[Chorus: Garrett Russell]

Then how do you see me from where you sit up in heaven? [3]

Looking down on my hell, my body chokes back

"I have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep

Where can I get living water?" [4]

[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]

Enslaved in the "Land of the Free" [5], my prison is our wedding bed

Where you left me for dead, you'll leave us for dead

Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea [6]

Where you drown in the comfort of our complicity

[Outro: Garrett Russell]

Can love save me?

Will Your wrath avenge us? [7]
