Higher Ground

Curtain calls and the lies break out.
Do the laws of lament define you?
There’s no reason to scream with your
courage down.
There’s a crack in your boyish charm.
Does your father resent he found you?
There’s no reason to curse cause your
secrets out.
You don’t wanna be a savior
but you came from higher ground
until it tired you out.
Praised a God that would fit you well.
Trimmed the edge so the verse disguised you.
Theres no reason to sing when the choir’s down.
You don’t wanna be a savior
but you came from higher ground
until it tired you
I wanna see you open.
I wanna keep you over
higher ground.
We’re down.
Ground
Keep down.
It’s a curse that’s as old as time.
Laid to rest like the ghost behind you.
Theres no reason to scream with the curtain’s down.
You don’t wanna be a savior
but you came from higher ground
until it tired you.
I wanna see you open.
I wanna keep you over
higher ground.
We’re down.
Ground
Keep down.
