The Narrative Lyrics

I was just a kid

Who couldn't get it

Turn knowledge into behavior

Couldn't have a problem cause I had a savior

Anything wrong guess I shoulda prayed more

I guess I shoulda made more of myself

Mistakes I made cause no one else

Knew of my stealth

Ah yeah they wouldn't stop tripping me

Yeah y'all 'member me

Missionary worship leader

Tried to make daddy proud of me

Save the world spread the seed

Give them all the prince of peace

I guess I was too weak

I guess I'll go to sleep

Maybe I'll be holy in my dreams

This is the story that I told myself

How I made it all the way to hell

I coulda stoped it if I acted well

Maybe been saved if I had asked for help

This is the story that I told myself

How I made it all the way to hell

I coulda stoped it if I acted well

Maybe been saved if I had asked for help

Come on let's change up the narrative

Can't sleep no sedative

Same old stories got me nowhere fast

Running from the past

Till I'm empty on gas

Yeah bringing up the rear

Ah coming in last

Think it needs a fresh pass

Clean up the scene descriptions

New character arcs and convictions

I was just a boy yeah born to a world

Where you had to be perfect all for the lord

Doesn't matter what you feel

Cause your feeling ain't real

Compared to Jesus

Who died to free us

No skills to cope

No emotional freedom

Just a missionary worship leader

Who couldn't stop stealing things

To fill a need

Saved by a tryptamine

This is the story that I tell myself

How I made it all the way to hell

I tried to stop it but it didn't help

It's what I needed but I couldn't tell

This is the story that I tell myself

How I made it all the way to hell

I tried to stop it but it didn't help

It's what I needed but I couldn't tell

Is it a lie or mental construct

Maybe public relations are keeping my head up

I don't really care for your take on my fuck ups

Cause it's on me

Who I was and supposed to be

Coming in hot with my destiny

Is it a lie or mental construct

Maybe public relations are keeping my head up

I don't really care for your take on my fuck ups

Cause it's on me

Who I was and supposed to be

Coming in hot with my destiny

This is the story that I'll tell myself

How I made it all the way to hell

Just a kid that didn't know himself

Found a way out through his mental health

This is the story that I'll tell myself

How I made it all the way to hell

Just a kid who didn't know himself

Found a way out through his mental health
