// Leaving //

 
 
The gods of this world // they are silver and gold
 
And they are made out of our own hands
 
They have mouths and eyes and ears and faces
 
But they’ll never have the chance
 
To speak or to see or to hear or to breathe 
 
And at the end of the day // they’re dust 
 
Those who made them become like them
 
And so do those who trust
 
 
But that’s not what I’m thinking of
 
Because I’m falling in love with the things that won’t lead me to nowhere
 
Ask why I’m giving it up
 
It’s ’cause I’m falling in love with the things that won’t lead me to nowhere
 
I’m unashamed about what’s above // becoming un-contained about what’s above
 
There’s nothing left for me but what’s above
 
So I’m leaving // I’m leaving // I’m leaving 
 
 
So whatcha gonna give up // you need room in your heart
 
You never had it opened up to let Him in from the start
 
What’s more important than the here and the now
 
How ’bout the then and the later // every knee will bow
 
Not gonna wait around here for the aftermath
 
I’m waking up // freaking out like a spazz attack
 
Plus the lines on my face show the terms of this race
 
So I’m leaving and I’m never coming back
 
 
We have our fixes // we have our toys  
 
We have every peace and quite // then we have our noise 
 
We replace God with the things that we can touch
 
As if eternity above is simply not enough
