Deliverance

Jesse you said the winter usually sticks around
Even if the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow
Punxsutawney folktale was bullshit you know
Well, that’s what I’ve always thought about religion
Lately, I can just feel all the entropy
After you’re recent unexpected passing
Thinking 'bout that existential gibberish
I’ve been really thinking about deliverance now
Jesse, I must confess to you something
Secret just between you and I
‘Til now I’ve been lucky in life to never have
Somone close to me ver die
But now that I’m 40, in the middle of my life
Talkin' ‘bout stuff like taxes and inheritance
Serious subjects for a fresh attorney
Unschooled in the heavy poetry of religion
I still remembered a verse from the Bible
To recite for you at your funeral today
We prayed for heavenly grace and for
Your salvation and deliverance from evil
