Buckle the Spine

lyrics

Carry the guilt until it buckles my spine.
I am indebted to this system even after I die.
I guess it's true when they say nothing is free cause being pushed and pulled feels like the same fucking thing.

When it’s bought, sold, still in a hole, should I be grateful I can't stand on my own?
When the Good Shepherd comes and breaks my bones, it makes it hard to feel like freedom, chained to the narrow road.

Free will the final nail in my coffin, free falling straight to the bottom.
Born in sin, but somehow that’s still my problem. When I was made in his image.
In the end, it means nothing.

Sons of dust. There is no god in any of us.
Just a docile husk, submissive enough to put our trust in a love we're undeserving of.

Life for a life, that's a pretty good price when you're picking up the slack left by Jesus Christ.
Life for a life, but you don’t get to decide.

I like it here at the bottom where they know me by name.
I used to think I wanted out, but now I'm begging to stay.
When you can say that this ain't where I should be, but that's the shit that I take very personally.

Buckle the spine.
