Guest vocals and lyrics by Sam Judd

lyrics

Deep inside the blackest hearts of men
Is a familiar stranger
A free ranger
Who will take your mind at will

And suppress any sightly chance of hope
By stripping conscience
Replacing with pretense
That you can save yourself
No, you can't save yourself

Look outside and see a new perspective
One that's not respected
But it's more effective
In the fight against dark will

There's a man I know who offers shelter
Against the common lecture
That life could be no better, but

You're so afraid to let go
You're so afraid of the shore

===

What a strange and deranged and backwards fear
That's got us crawling into bed with serial killers
That's got us climbing into caskets at 17
That's got us calling a cab and getting a hearse
That's got us fleeing the Light of Life and running to worse and worse

What's the gain in living in pain
When the Doctor stands at the door and knocks
With the perfect prescription?
Are you addicted to a placebo effect existence?

What's the use in making a truce with heartache
A noose with dark days?
"Heartbreak have your way, as long as you dissipate
While i'm in a drugged-up state. I'll be okay."
But why not be great at noon day?!

Why not have your mind fully utilized in it's divine design to be fully alive
Streaming clarity from heavenly places
From the One in Whom is hidden all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom?!
Why not join the unfailing system enduring forever, victorious endlessly?

Have you got a better plan?
Have you grown so accustomed to life in the dungeon
Rats having a luncheon on your flesh on a regular occasion don't phase ya?
Come on man!

If you were handed a rescue plan would you read it?
"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
You're so afraid of white like snow.
Isaiah 1:18
