john smith-darby - ja’mank lyrics

[verse 1]
a preacher’s kid, yeah, i’ve heard it all before
told me god’s love is infinite, but i still feel ignored
sit in pews like statues, frozen in the guilt
walls of stained glass, masking all the shame they built

oh, bless me father, ’cause i’m ‘bout to sin
grim grin as i let the wickedness in
you say the book is light, but it’s heavy as lead
preach love, yet half your flock’s misled

so i toss the hymns, toss the robes, toss the blame
i don’t need redemption if the rules are insane
sacrilege in style, yeah, i’m going full throttle
sippin’ holy water out of a whiskey bottle

[chorus]
light my house… down, yeah, burn it to the floor
flip the cross, shake the dust, no, i don’t pray no more
roll the dice, break the bread, it’s all a joke to me
in the halls of saints and sinners, i’m the heresy
[verse 2]
sermons sound like whispers, all hush+hush and meek
but i’m loud like thunder, got my own way to speak
hallelujah? nah, i’m raising h+ll with the best
counting sins like pennies, let ‘em roll in my chest

heaven’s gates? i’m kicking them down
while angels throw shade, i’ll wear my own crown
chasing shadows of the past like they’re fresh on the street
got a devil on my shoulder, he’s the one i greet

lost in the rapture of the chaos i crave
saints can’t save me, i’m too wild to behave
i’m a paradox, sweet and sour like a twisted dream
got a heart full of fire, and i’m tearing at the seam

[outro]
so let the flames rise high, let the ashes fall free
i’ll build my throne from the wreckage, just wait and see
this holy house of cards, it was never built to last
with every spark of doubt, i’m igniting the past
