right before band of horses played.

god when i wake from sleep

god when i am moribund

god when i've got more joy

and feel it's on the increase


make me throw my bed away

make my grave implode (or something)

make me know that i've no friend like you

(and you no longer call me slave)


as the sun begins to shy from day bright

as the streets begin to lax from day drives

as my heart begins to scuff and drag

down the shore to water's edge


evoke in me a merciful revival

evoke in we a fast forgiveness

evoke in all our little hearts

a journey towards a resurrection


as sin sets on approaching hill

as doubt creeps eerily nigh

as my weary vantage

overshadows every single good thing known about self


insight a riotous evac(uation)

insight faith that will eclipse

and reminisce beside this weary boy

the great lengths you strove to bring me peace
