janani k. jha - prometheus on the 405 lyrics

[verse 1]
the trees preach better than a man can
“better a believer than a madman”
a church is more than a sanctimonious
the sleeping kings and the poets
they say i should see it in divine light
but i see it in the huddle on the 405
something holy in the way they’re holding
onto the hope just to stay alive

[chorus]
if you could read my mind
i’m sure that you’d be horrified
you’d kick and scream and cry
where did you sleep last night?
but someone gave me light
said that i don’t need yours to shine
call her prometheus
she’s always on my mind

[verse 2]
is there room for the cursed among the exalted and the virgins?
do they see the people outside the steeple: so+called sinners and the serpents?
the old gods gave us fire
but we find warmth in the silence
[chorus]
if you could read my mind
i’m sure that you’d be horrified
you’d kick and scream and cry
where did you sleep last night?
but someone gave me light
said that i don’t need yours to shine
call her prometheus
she’s always

[bridge]
oh, my god!
oh, my cathedral of nature
my god!
sometimes you feel just like vapor
my god!
when will i finally meet my maker?
until the day it comes i’ll keep on runnin’ to, escapin’ to
(runnin’ to, escapin’ to)
escapin’ to

[outro]
there are places in my mind
where i don’t have to hide
i saw prometheus on the 405
we fight in the face of a false god
the prophets and their profits and their guns drawn
maybe god is a cello in+between thoughts
