Buddy, Julie Miller - Thoughts at 2am lyrics

You render your oppressors silent
With your wordless eyes
You own the life of every man
From birth until he dies
You see collective evil sway like
Ships upon the sea
Like currents carried 'round the world
By men so mindlessly

Your enemies, so fierce and cruel
One day will all bow down
And every tongue confess your name
Compelled to make the sound

People sell philosophies like confidence men
And so the blind lead on the
Blind into the ditch again
The powers of the darkness try
To swallow up the truth but in the end
They find their lying mouth just lost a tooth
The author of compassion has our
Pain beneath his skin
And so the whole wide world
Upon his fingertip does spin

I fool myself on purpose and I've
Been out on the run
I've painted myself pictures where I could
Hide from what I've done
But longingly the mighty one seeks
Me like a lost lamb
And tenderly he calls and says his
Child is who I am

Awake my heart, awake my heart
Attune to hear his word
Inside the great cacophony a
Single voice is heard

You say your sheep know your voice
And they will follow you
And they will heed no other call
Besides the one that's true
You watch as hearts grow harder and
The lights of justice dim
You see your children suffering and
Want to carry them

The time is soon
Yes soon the cursed snake will lose effect
And God Almighty's bride will have her
Foot up on his neck
