sounds of satellites – forfeit lyrics
a child awaits his shotgun birth
his mother in her own right, a kid, is filling out the papers
as she finishes the sheets, she remembers how white they used to be
so she forged her mother’s signature cause father is a minister
they couldn’t know
she wept
because she don’t believe that god’s grace can reach to them:
her and her last sin
they were too much for him
it takes more than a sin to leave
it takes more than a sin to leave
i see a black sedan, a shedded dress, and a family man
beneath a motel fan, there trembled three ringless hands
he wept, as did she
because god’s grace don’t reach to them–
not after their last sin
some things he can’t forgive
it takes more than a sin to leave
it takes more than a sin to leave
they call me a backslider
that’s not the case
i’m not climbing a mountain
i’m just digging my grave
the devil would say to leave, “just dig.”
there are no white gates for me to open–
just benign grace stretched thin
it takes more than a sin
say it again
say it again
say it again
say it again
say it again
say it again!
“it takes more than a sin to leave.”
