Tim Kasher - On My Knees lyrics
[Tim Kasher - On My Knees lyrics]
I was born to sin
Not born again
I'm human
I don't see why I would
Deny myself such fruit
My parents raised me well
Not scared of Hell
It's hard to tell if I'd end up there
If the old wives tale were true
I don't believe in Satan or
Damnation or creation
Didn't we exhume old Lucy's bones?
I'll enter the great unknown on my own
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I'm lonely and scared
Don't think I'll ever be prepared
For the inevitable nothing
On my knees
On my knees
On my death bed lеading to nobody
On my knees
Went to catholic school
I followed rules
Found Jеsus–
To be a terrifying presence in my life
Almost certainly
God-fearing
I prayed to keep The Holy One
From bleeding from his eyes
I know "Jesus saves"
"Love conquers hate"
And still today I don't deny the
Lives that he has touched
But I don't need a crucifix for a crutch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I yearn to believe
In something greater than me
'Til then, I will earnestly sing
On my knees
On my knees
Here at death's door
Peeking through the keyhole
On my knees
Alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still, I'm trying to find
Something deeper inside
What a precious, precocious
Human thing
Not born again
I'm human
I don't see why I would
Deny myself such fruit
My parents raised me well
Not scared of Hell
It's hard to tell if I'd end up there
If the old wives tale were true
I don't believe in Satan or
Damnation or creation
Didn't we exhume old Lucy's bones?
I'll enter the great unknown on my own
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I'm lonely and scared
Don't think I'll ever be prepared
For the inevitable nothing
On my knees
On my knees
On my death bed lеading to nobody
On my knees
Went to catholic school
I followed rules
Found Jеsus–
To be a terrifying presence in my life
Almost certainly
God-fearing
I prayed to keep The Holy One
From bleeding from his eyes
I know "Jesus saves"
"Love conquers hate"
And still today I don't deny the
Lives that he has touched
But I don't need a crucifix for a crutch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I yearn to believe
In something greater than me
'Til then, I will earnestly sing
On my knees
On my knees
Here at death's door
Peeking through the keyhole
On my knees
Alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still, I'm trying to find
Something deeper inside
What a precious, precocious
Human thing
