I close my eyes and pray that nothing’s there
ready to pounce, pull my feet from the covers
I’ve heard the words and know they’re real
shadows darker, black, creep along the walls
Maybe you could be the one to take them away
before they drag me to hell
Maybe you could be the one to erase
the thoughts inside my brain
Disappearing into nightmare
I know that there are demons lurking
if I mess up I’ll be face-to-face with them
But if I say it alright and if I’m holy enough
I’ll make it through one more night
without losing my cool
But if I stay on this path
I know that there’s no escape
I’ll have to stare in the eye
of the devil himself
(and tell him how it is)
Maybe you could be the one to take them away
before they drag me to hell
Disappearing into nightmare
Maybe you could be the one to erase
the thoughts inside my brain
Disappearing into nightmare
But if I say it alright and if I’m holy enough
I’ll make it through one more night
without losing my cool
But if I stay on this path
I know that there’s no escape
I’ll have to stare in the eye
of the devil himself
(and tell him how it is)

Experience

Down near a warehouse district
A building with glass doors
Small rows of chairs, someone is standing there
We were rushed out of the room
It was all part of the plan
To see the Holy Spirit move
We had to give up something dear
But that’s not easy for a child
We’re Looking for an experience
I believe you can handle this
What makes the powerful fall
Is not an answer I can take
Such a sad sight to see
People who choose to make believe
and refuse to listen to the voice of reason
We’re Looking for an experience
I believe you can handle this
What makes the powerful fall
Is not an answer I can take
What is it you’re looking for
That you all wanted to leave
this world made of dirt and dust
to go find enlightenment
or is it such a selfish act
It’s paved with dishonesty
Is that what it means to me
Is that what it means to me
We’re Looking for an experience
I believe you can handle this
What makes the powerful fall
Is not an answer I can take
What makes the powerful fall
Is not an answer I can take
What makes the powerful fall
Is not an answer

Falling Down in Church
03:53

Eight years old
Walking down
To the front
of the crowd
ready to experience
what was said
to be true bliss
I tried my best to show
that I was prepared to let it go
I wanted to know what it felt like
To be overwhelmed by His light
Waiting in
The longest line
Everyone taller than I
My heart to race
and skip a beat
What kinds of things waited for me
When the preacher laid his hands on my head
He gave the cue and he pushed me on back
I tried to go, but I did not fall
A sense of dread and fear crept in
So he pushed me harder and I prayed again
I tried my best to show that I
Was prepared to let it go
That night began the cycle of doubt
That haunts me when I lay my head down

Does the question even need to be asked
How is that you haven’t heard
It’s time me to tell you the story of the underworld
Cuz’ there’s a place where you can go
Where demons can torment your soul
But if you say a couple words
Maybe you’re safe if you be good
But if you cheat or drink or curse
The odds of this could not be worse
Good luck if you were born someway
That goes against the theology
You thought the media could scare you
But this is much worse
Are you hearing me clearly
A child’s brain must be molded
To prevent my guilt… uh, I mean
Eternal suffering
There was some time not long ago
When Satan tried to take the thrown
But he was cursed to rule the earth
And take our soul at any cost
When you lay your head at night
Say a prayer that you might
Not end up below the ground
Tortured pain and gnashing sounds
You can try with all your might
But there’s no way out of here
You can cry with all your heart
But there’s no way out of here
You can scream with all your soul
But there’s not way out of here
You thought the media could scare you
Well this is much worse
Hell is just a way to cope
With things that are out of our control
Vilify the other types
Makes my life look twice as nice
I don’t have faith and I don’t trust
That there’s something bigger than us
It all comes down to yes or no
To set the path of our own soul
