Cataline (Kanakuk) Lyrics

If we ever reach tomorrow

I could find some faith

But I'm stumbling through the darkness

To keep my head on straight

Theres a sacred lie that love had died

To keep me safe asleep at night

My prospective lies

A whole life time could not make sense of what you designed

The binding twine

That spoils the wine

Sets the twilight before its time

The mystery spoke some words divine

That planned the darkness in the light

I hear voices in the silence

Whisper words of grace

But louder is fear and violence

That poisons the purest faith

I'll sit with those who's faith has died

Under a broke Missouri sky

Our darkest days were under the brightest lights

As we set through waning light

The excitement built into and emotive heist

That felt Sanduskian with certain light

Cataline, oh Cataline

Why did you cover the lie that should have died with Joe White

Were we baptized with boiling water

With salt rubbed in our burn wounds

Did you keep it dark

Dodge the salt and light

Cause all you warned against

Were your shadows in the night

Will the seraphim put out your tongues of fire?

And quench the artificial glow

Of the golden calf that you sold

And the souls that you sold

For the tyrant on the inside?

Is there no answer

Is there no answer for these questions that I hold

Is there no answer

Is there no answer for these questions that I hold

I'm callin' out to light

The light I rely on

In the darkness and light

Your light I rely on
