[00:09.35]More so than me
[00:12.93]She knows my name
[00:16.54]And more so than me
[00:20.00]Understands this pain
[00:24.09]I'm either too lost
[00:27.22]Or not lost enough
[00:30.65]I think I'm too smart
[00:34.37]For this type of love
[00:38.22]I wasn't sent off
[00:41.63]But straight to the ground
[00:44.79]And I know God best
[00:48.42]As one with no crown
[00:52.27]Don't know why the past affects me in this way
[00:56.20]Don't know where I'll go if I leave here today
[00:59.58]But I know my limits
[01:01.33]and you're not the type to be fooling around in this way
[01:06.23]No reason you're here but there's reasons to stay
[01:09.99]Not as easy to know as it's easy to say
[01:14.15]Cause to my family and my friends
[01:16.48]I can't think of one thing that I gave
[01:22.32]But more for me
[01:26.44]And more for me
[01:30.52]More for me
[01:38.72]Aged fourteen, at midnight I hear voices from the kitchen
[01:42.95]I let my feet follow the sound as I let my ears listen
[01:46.73]I walk upstairs and at the kitchen table I can see
[01:50.25]There God is sitting with the devil
[01:51.93]Sharing drinks and old stories
[01:54.05]The floorboard creaks
[01:54.88] A red embarrassment floods all throughout God's face
[01:57.78]He swears that it's not what it looks like
[02:00.04]Then he swears he can explain
[02:01.46]The Devil speaks
[02:02.54]"Your God and I put all our differences to rest,
[02:05.28]and a man's actions are his own,
[02:07.53]But man will blame us nonetheless."
[02:09.30]The Devil stands
[02:10.20]He grabs his keys and straightens out a rusted crown
[02:13.12]He tells me, "Hell is frozen over
[02:14.90]Heaven burned down to the ground
[02:17.01]And you have only got one life
[02:19.04]So do with it what you would like
[02:20.83]We solemnly apologize
[02:22.56]but we won't be there when you die"
[02:24.43]And I stand, cold and alone
[02:26.59]In a body that won't move
[02:29.29]Watching the eyes of these gods that I once knew
[02:32.95]One pair looks down in a half-hearted lie
[02:36.08]While the other looks straight into mine with a whole truth
[02:40.38]Lacking the fear I've been told a god deserves
[02:44.46]I say, "What good is a prayer that goes unheard?"
[02:48.27]He says, "What hope could they find in a book,
[02:51.82]If the book doesn't sell and the pages stay unturned?"
[03:03.85]With a wink that Devil turns and exits the back door
[03:06.88]And God is standing there in silence
[03:08.79]with his eyes glued to the floor
[03:10.55]And then he speaks
[03:11.72]"I am no savior
[03:12.58]But I give them what they need
[03:14.51]And there has never been a dreamer who prefers reality
[03:18.34]The war for truth is raging on
[03:20.11]But it's not one you have to fight
[03:22.25]And if it is the truth you want
[03:23.95]Then it is hope you'll sacrifice
[03:26.24]It's yours to choose
[03:29.97]You can choose
[03:34.41]This is not the way I am
[03:36.12]This is just how I was raised
[03:38.06]So let me make up my own mind
[03:39.98]Let me map out my own way
[03:42.14]And to the parents of the kids
[03:43.95]whose tongues are in their throats
[03:45.33]Because of tears that you will cry
[03:47.24]if they don't stick to what they know
[03:49.27]I'm sure you're giving it your best
[03:51.05]And I am sure it takes a toll
[03:53.02]But whether God-given or not
[03:54.98]Our lives are not to be controlled
[03:56.78]Just let us choose

More so than me
She knows my name
And more so than me
Understands this pain
I'm either too lost
Or not lost enough
I think I'm too smart
For this type of love
I wasn't sent off
But straight to the ground
And I know God best
As one with no crown
Don't know why the past affects me in this way
Don't know where I'll go if I leave here today
But I know my limits
and you're not the type to be fooling around in this way
No reason you're here but there's reasons to stay
Not as easy to know as it's easy to say
Cause to my family and my friends
I can't think of one thing that I gave
But more for me
And more for me
More for me
Aged fourteen, at midnight I hear voices from the kitchen
I let my feet follow the sound as I let my ears listen
I walk upstairs and at the kitchen table I can see
There God is sitting with the devil
Sharing drinks and old stories
The floorboard creaks
A red embarrassment floods all throughout God's face
He swears that it's not what it looks like
Then he swears he can explain
The Devil speaks
"Your God and I put all our differences to rest,
and a man's actions are his own,
But man will blame us nonetheless."
The Devil stands

Heaven burned down to the ground
And you have only got one life

And I stand, cold and alone
In a body that won't move
Watching the eyes of these gods that I once knew
