Name: Oh, God
Duration: P00H03M50S
Description: Bryce wrote the first draft of the words and the basic chord progression at home alone wondering why Landon never called him. Devon, Jake, Alex and Landon took it to the next level over the next few practices. The words were revised quite a few times. VERY heavily influenced by Fall City Fall's lyrical approach. It was after this song was written that the title of the album came out.

lyrics

I smell like sex and kerosene. please come, light my life on fire. you all look the same in the dark. i can’t sleep alone even though i’m so tired. i’ve had nightmares for nights now, i reply my all day all night. so i relive my mistakes not once by twice. oh god. from my place at the bottom where i am laid bare, i search for wisdom in these words but the answers just aren’t there. the blood on my hands and tears on my face. dirt under fingernails, as unclean as the rest of my race. but like has broken my back, my soul a desolate place where it is always dusk - and still the light burns my face. i’ve heard no sound in weeks, no love for a wretch like me. if grace is so amazing then why can’t i just see. i want to believe you’re real, but i just can’t understand. so i’m afraid of the dark, and I don’t like who i am. i’ve torn apart your texts, and read everything in red. but as far as i can tell, my god’s still very much dead.

oh, god.
