V1
I like living on the fence
It's much prettier up here
From this view you can see
All the grass is the same
Try to knock me over, you're coming out a loser
I like living on the fence
It's much prettier up here
PRE
Lost
I'm home
HOOK
I am in no man's land
I am in no man's land
I am nowhere and everywhere at the same time
I am in no man's land
V2
Cause the world is a black and white
Mess of a thing
I'm okay with the grey
I'm okay in between
God has got a palette
Why would we not have one too?
I'm okay with the grey
That's where color survives

Probably Wrong

V1
He's getting dressed in his Sunday best
But he don't see it's a lie
He buttons up and tells himself
The truth is in his eyes
Says he's gospel for the lost but he lost himself instead
He's getting dressed in his Sunday face
But he ain't no Jesus Christ
HOOK
He might be right
But he's probably wrong
V2
She holds a Bible in her right
And a hammer in her left
She can easily justify
The fort that she erects
Anyone can enter in but only if they’re in the club
She holds the Bible in her heart
But her heart's running out of room
HOOK
She might be right
But she's probably wrong
V3
I hold myself up to the clouds
And I think they measure up
My opinions matter more than listening in love
The good Lord gave me a pair of ears
But I use one at a time
I hold myself up to the clouds and think I measure up
HOOK
I might be right
But I’m probably wrong

Abracadabra
03:28
|

|
Our Father who art in heaven
Honor be to thy name
My kingdom come, my will be done
My world needs a little help
Give us today the things we need
And maybe a little more
Forgive their sins, and fix our lives
And don't let our neighbors hurt us
In Jesus' name, abracadabra

V1
We sat eye-to-eye talking
Then you posed me a big thought
“Why’d this happen to me, man?”
Teardrops rolling down, weary
I said “Man that is a question
With another Question there
People label it ‘random’
When they cannot explain it
PRE
‘Why’ might be the wrong question
Let's ask ‘what now?’
HOOK
You don't have to know
You don't have to know why
You don't have to go
Very far to find what you are looking for
Don't lose yourself
As you look for answers, friend
You don't have to know
You don't have to know why
V2
So here is what I believe in:
Questions help you in seeing
If that's true, then you know what
We can have 20/20 doubt
Do you wanna know the answers?
Or can you be okay left out?
Where's the heart of Existence?
I know where: grenzbegrifflich

The Hour God Lost Belief
03:06
|
|||
|
V1
Some call me a doubter, some call me a saint
Put my finger through the hands to praise the name
I get such a bad wrap, like a middle child
My name became an insult, disciple turned defiled
When I watched my whole world scream in agony
faith was redefined as lost religion freed
but let me tell you something, don't paint me a foe
Jesus was the biggest doubter ever known
HOOK
And the truest faith to me
Is in the hour God lost belief
Now I am caught right here
Caught right in the middle
Right in the middle of thieves
Now I am caught right here
Caught right in the middle
Save me, Uncertainty
V2
Everyone believes they're right, including me
Everybody's Savior is tame and loves their creed
But maybe no one knows the Holy Question Mark
Maybe no one knows we've all just got it wrong

Unease
04:36
|
|||
|
V1
If you can hear my voice
Then you know life don't give
Don't give me any choice
Don't give me guarantees
But without guarantees
I start to not want a thing
That's when I get it all
The Divine thrown right in
Sorry if that sounds vague
Or maybe it's heresy
But I have no other way
To make sense of what I see
All that I hope and pray
With my uncertainty
Is that you'll remember us
That you'll remember me
PRE
Am I empty, eager for a drink?
Or am I drunk on a god?
HOOK
Take me with all my wondering
Take me at my unease
Take me even though I don’t take you some days
Take me at my unease
V2
Yes I believe in God
And in the afterlife
But only on Sunday morning
Or when I'm feeling good
What I am trying to say
Is I choose to look for Life
In the right now today
With my agnostic mind
PRE 2
I know that's a lot of doubt
Somebody please help me out
HOOK 2
Take me with all my wondering
Take me at my unease
Take me even though I don’t take you some days
Can we pretend that you love me
Can we pretend that you care
Cause I want someone who’s alive out there for sure
Take me at my unease

Inside My World
02:41
|
|||
|
PART ONE
Wake up on Sunday morn
Quick comb through my hair
Preacher says listen up
But I just sit and stare
I don't know what I think
Don't know what I believe
God changes costumes
Each day of the week
Questions have existence
Cause all we got are clues
I'm right here right now, tell me - is that proof?
PART TWO
I do not know it all
As you can probably tell
Heaven ain't no cartoon
But I'm not so sure ‘bout hell
One thing I can't get past
Is why I'm still alive
What keeps my heart on beat
Who gives that beat a drive
Maybe when the lightning
Cracks across the sky
Someone's trying to break into my small world
Someone's trying to love up inside my world
