Frustration in trying to say what I feel about our times, and how futility should teach us where to find meaning.
Story behind the song
This song came out of frustration and longing. Frustration at how hard it is to speak spiritual truth so that it is truly understood, and longing that people I love might see.
Lyrics
On a day that
Shows our excess is our lack,
Where surplus words,
Mean meaning won't be back.
By the way we
We choose our lies as proven facts.
So everything,
We add still more subtracts.
If you find yourself,
In times like these:
Remember you were told,
And then believe!
Invest in bloodshed
That's our real estate:
A maelstrom of nations
Locked in hate!
And keep your heart,
From being drawn in.
This finger trap,
Of hearts entrapped by sin.
If you find yourself,
In times like these:
Remember you were told,
And then believe!
If you find yourself,
In times like these:
Remember you were told,
And then believe!
