Exodus

Time is just an empty promise
That I've been fighting my whole life
I'm losing sleep and counting blessings
Waiting for my the sun to rise

Ive read the book and all its stories
Hoping that they're more than words
I catch my breath but cant stop gasping
I'm hoping that they're more than words

Everything that rises must converge
Lay me down to rest
Everything that rises must converge
Now were all hoping for the best

Only I can hear me
Because I'm praying on myself
Only god can save me
Because praying on myself

My mother told me god loved all his children
That mankind was a work of art
When I was young I knew the presentation
But Ive grown up and now I'm not so sure

Because there's killing and raping, and genocide
But in the end they're only killing for pride
My mother told me god loved all his children
Now I'm not so sure
