PRIDE Lyrics

My god, he always told me that the pride comes before the fall

Guess I didn't notice, he was talking straight to me though

I didn't wanna know what I didn't already know

The echoes of his words in my head do always grow

But not as fast as my head does.

I'm running, defeating the phantoms of my past

and I can't fathom how far I have already fallen

I've seen planes and birds and clouds and skies and heaven I'm falling away from

I've seen pain and cords that hold me down. I'm struggling, fighting against them

Named em' pride: the silent architect

Constructing walls around your heart, but walls are built to fall like broken promises

And rules and bones that lost the way of who they are and where they're going

Pride told em' up, but they keep on falling down

The walls are crumbling down, Jericho running around

I'm tired, I'm kicking them out, Gomorrah, burning it down

I got joy, abundant, abound. I was lost, but I've been found a better life, I know it now

And every blessing, I got riches, but no money you can count

Still in my bag though, and I ain't talking Cheetos

God, myself, and me knows, the words I went and vetoed

Sure they fire, but they ain't me though

Started something wonderful. Soul, it ain't refundable

No more coming back inside, I locked the doors and now I'm white as wool

My God, he made me white as wool

Cause my God, he came and told me that the meek inherit the earth

Remember you came from the dirt, you're just a worm with some fancy words

Understand the meaning behind these words, and I promise

You'll fly much higher than the birds

And I've seen planes and birds and clouds and skies in heaven

They calling my name from. No more pain and cords that hold me down

My God is fighting against them

My God is fighting against them
