about

I wrote this song from my own ideas of Jesus as he nears
death. Something more Last Temptation Of Christ meets Joan
Osborne's, One Of Us, than the commonly held story. As a
child, Christianity was forced upon me. I don't think I actually
ever believed any of it, but was so scared by the ideas of
burning in hell and letting my parents down that I just went
along with it. The song was an attempt to process, and to create a version that rang truer to me.

lyrics

Jesus pines for valhalla
Dying for the grave
This gravity be too much locomotion
His vessel all concave

God, I could use some divination
Soul steeped in ethanol
I don’t want to be their salvation
My faith is all too small

C’mon, Yahweh
All too ostentatious
I am juiced up seeing triple again
Sick at the sight
Can’t you sympathize?

Ghost gon’ get you
I ain’t ready daddy to take this fall
Host gon’ quit you
I ain’t ready daddy why can’t we stall?

I don’t even know what love is

Jesus nods with the zephyr
Flying to be brave
No gravity when he on that potion
No sorry soul to save

God, I could use some elevation
I’m balls deep in this ethanol
What the fuck is my motivation?
Your shadow makes me small

C’mon, Yahweh
This ain’t perspicacious
What is one against a world of sin?
Sick of the fight and I’m terrified

Ghost gon’ get you
I ain’t ready, daddy, to take this fall
Host gon’ quit you
I ain’t ready, daddy, why can’t we stall?

I don’t even know what love is

Arcadia, across the Astral Plane
Arcadia, they’ll never preach my name

I don’t even know what love is

I don’t know

Ghost gon’ get you
I ain’t ready daddy
Let me go

Ghost gon’ get you
I ain’t ready, daddy

Let me go

Ghost gon’ get you
I ain’t ready, daddy

Let me go

I don’t even know what love is
