cunabear - it is well with my soul lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1:]
this morning i questioned my faith towards a god i don’t believe in
as i rolled out of my bed and fell face-first to the pavement

i’ve got a nasty hole in one
and one hole in my brother
for the heart of man’s closest relations
to be forcefully torn asunder

i hereby raise my gl-ss to all of those who still believe
a savior born and dead for me too selfish to lay corpses lonely
and even though i tried, i just can’t support his tactics
fibers in my meat suit, mortal took my gl-ss and smashed it

empty or full my smashed gl-ss once held water
polluted by the weight of shoulders bearing weight that isn’t mine
i take your strife in stride
until numbered breaths count last
i’ll trade your life with mine
mere moments before you p-ss

standing high upon a scaffolding
these beams have nasty inclination
uncompleted til they’re 6 deep feet
beneath it’s crooked, flawed foundation

i begged the wind to blow you back
outstretched my love to save you
your falling was inevitable
final phrase was merely “thank you”

[hook x2]
i will hold my rugged hands above my hanging head
i will embrace your body so your shaking can be still
i will breathe this filthy air until my lungs are red
and breathe for you until until until until until

[verse 2]
zion’s not a mountain
it’s a rock inside your sneakers
i swore i’d never be a preacher
but i’ll guide you to your seats
and we will search for meaning in these psalms
and hide our scars behind our palms
i call out to you

stand up and hum the hymns
in a cathartic state of being
savvy to the sweetest of releases
it’s time
lets commence the grieving

we will bathe you without sins
for it’s the innocent who leave us
taken from me hand in hand
by an omni-only-sometimes-present jesus

we will celebrate your earthly lives
as if status still claims you’re still alive
and we’ll proclaim “they are alive!”
it is in my heart that their laughter resides

i will never let the marks you left
be rinsed from solemn earth
you are not a meager mention in a song
placed strategically because my heart hurts

you are brave and you are valiant
you are vigilant and strong
you saved my life and gave your own
your ghosts are always welcomed in my home

and when they call me to the pulpit
for words of solace that they need
the only words i know to speak are playing on
repeat repeat repeat

[hook x2]

[verse 3]
time will surely p-ss but you will never be forgotten
you left a handprint on my heart
(memories)
never will i forsake them
and i will watch over the ones you love
with the same kindness that you gave them
every year we climb this hill and scream your names out to the ancients

mother mary and our father
with your son and spirit blessing
i don’t think there’s room for me
in your fabled pilgrims p-ssing

but alas
please take my brother and my sister to your clouds and pearly gates
for they deserve to see some happiness even after it’s been too late

surely we will join you but not until our time’s up
i resonate with belonging here until my deeds are done

but in every action will i honor you
as you guide me through my earthly role
and when my time to meet you comes
i’ll be tattered worn and old

when my lungs don’t give air
and my blood runs cold
it’s the lion king prophetic
circle of life

it is well with my soul

[hook]
