[ti:Black Synagogue]
[ar:Angel Haze]
[00:03.490]"And the light, the light can make everything feel beautiful.
[00:07.660]It can make it feel safe, so safe that, like, in the night,
[00:12.220]we spend all of our time running away from our truths.
[00:15.770]And then we meet someone who tells us,
[00:17.940]'God will always love you, no matter what you do.
[00:21.490]The only thing that will never stop loving you is God.'
[00:26.490]And because of all of our darkness〞which at night I still run from,
[00:31.610]which at night we all still run from, we get stuck chasing light.
[00:37.080]That's a Black Synagogue."
[00:39.560]"And God said that the meek shall inhabit the Earth!
[00:43.760]But there shall be masses, I said masses!, of bloodshed first!
[00:49.440]And that will open the floodgates of Heaven,
[00:52.840]and pour down upon us His blessings from the floor, to the ceiling,
[00:58.350]but only if you praise Him, I said praise Him, shall you receive His healing!"
[01:10.320]Save me from the pain
[01:12.740]I'm falling down
[01:14.170]Don't you hear me calling?
[01:16.940]I need you now
[01:18.270]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[01:22.080]Give me sanction
[01:24.420]Can you bring me back to life?
[01:26.290]Save me from the pain
[01:28.930]I'm falling down
[01:29.990]Don't you hear me calling?
[01:32.830]I need you now
[01:33.940]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[01:37.790]Give me sanction
[01:40.030]Can you bring me back to life?
[01:46.220]I been running from the pain in my brain
[01:47.980]Got stains on my scene while I search for the real me
[01:50.170]Search for the real me, lost in the night
[01:51.940]Only talk to angels when I'm lost in a height
[01:54.020]I don't really wanna get lost in my mind
[01:56.000]So I pray until I feel I'm getting lost in the vibe
[01:58.020]Then I took the bottle up and I drink it to my what?
[01:59.910]Yep, drink it to my fucking soul's lost in my eyes
[02:01.920]But I don't really wanna drown no, 'cuz I'm not that trusting
[02:05.770]But I'ma keep coming 'round though, till I'm sure that I found something
[02:09.680]And when I tell you what it is, you better talk to God, remember
[02:11.910]No feelings, no thoughts allowed
[02:13.840]And if pain's a trapdoor then I need God
[02:15.960]And so send someone to come walk me out
[02:17.790]But don't think, don't talk about it
[02:20.020]Wait, don't sing, don't tell nobody
[02:21.990]Wait, don't drink, don't fail your body
[02:23.710]Wait, don't scream, no, fucking shout it
[02:25.690]See, these voices in my head are the fucking loudest
[02:27.670]So belligerent, so fucking rowdy
[02:29.800]And my tunnel vision's so fucking clouded
[02:31.770]And I don't really have a motherfucking outlet
[02:33.790]So, I talk to God, but I don't really know if He can hear me
[02:37.650]But you know Him well, and I think that you could bring Him near me
[02:41.700]So I keep praying, every word that I keep saying
[02:45.600]Every part of me that I needed shield from
[02:47.620]Every part of me that needs saving
[02:50.830]Save me from the pain
[02:52.750]I'm falling down
[02:54.170]Don't you hear me calling?
[02:56.950]I need you now
[02:58.060]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[03:02.130]Give me sanction
[03:04.250]Can you bring me back to life?
[03:06.220]Save me from the pain
[03:08.910]I'm falling down
[03:10.120]Don't you hear me calling?
[03:12.970]I need you now
[03:14.080]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[03:18.650]Give me sanction
[03:20.160]Can you bring me back to life?
[03:22.130]None of this's real, when it calls you
[03:25.640]Thought I found you, now I'm lost too
[03:26.480]I've been listening to service sermons
[03:28.150]A lotta redefining, a lot of words reworded
[03:30.220]A lotta thoughts detected and thoughts suggested
[03:32.050]A lotta stuff that resonates with certain persons
[03:34.030]I've been searching for the truth but it's embedded in lies
[03:35.850]Read every single verse until I'm red in my eyes
[03:37.840]And God'll only hear you when you offering ties
[03:39.870]And protection is the truth
[03:41.540]But when the Devil's a lie
[03:42.090]But what am I to do when the Devil is I?
[03:43.810]And everything I touch seems to shrivel and die?
[03:45.860]My mama always said I was a rebel inside
[03:47.940]But now I'm looking for some peace and a benevolent I
[03:49.880]And how it feels to need that, some humbling pie
[03:51.800]And how long it will take when it comes from the sky
[03:53.820]Means I'll probably be waiting until I crumble and die
[03:55.900]And just wrestling with Satan while I'm struggling by
[03:57.820]So, I think, I talk about it
[03:59.700]Wait, I drink, I tell somebody
[04:01.720]Wait, I sink, I fail my body
[04:03.960]Wait, I scream, I'm fucking shouting
[04:05.770]Cause these voices in my head are the fucking loudest
[04:07.870]So belligerent, so fucking rowdy
[04:09.850]And my tunnel vision's so fucking clouded
[04:11.830]And I don't really have a motherfucking outlet
[04:13.860]So, I talk to God, but I don't really know if He can hear me
[04:17.770]And you know him well, and I think that you could bring him near me
[04:21.820]So I keep praying, everything that I keep saying
[04:25.860]Every part of me that I needed shield from
[04:27.950]Every part of me that needs saving
[04:30.390]Save me from the pain
[04:32.620]I'm falling down
[04:33.680]Don't you hear me calling?
[04:36.720]I need you now
[04:37.730]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[04:41.930]Give me sanction
[04:43.810]Can you bring me back to life?
[04:46.150]Save me from the pain
[04:48.630]I'm falling down
[04:50.160]Don't you hear me calling?
[04:52.890]I need you now
[04:54.060]Fill me 'til I'm whole with your holy light
[04:57.040]Give me sanction
[04:59.980]Can you bring me back to life?
[05:02.200]Did he die on the cross for this?
[05:04.480]Do you have any fucking proof?
[05:06.350]Everything here is man-made
[05:08.380]And I'm just searching for some fucking truth
[05:10.090]Cause everything they ever told me not to do
[05:11.870]Has always made me question what freedom is
[05:13.900]Why listen to the words when they not from you?
[05:15.770]And why feel judged when I freely live?
[05:17.800]Now I know what the fucking root of evil is
[05:19.920]And why peace is dead, but evil lives
[05:21.840]Everybody thinking they can talk to you
[05:23.710]And what they believe in they hearts are true
[05:25.760]Now they feel that they had the right to persecute
[05:27.740]Judge, doom to hell and come first to you
[05:29.810]Now I don't really know who wrote the Bible
[05:31.790]But nothing under the sun goes unrecycled
[05:33.770]Take every shot you have with a fucking rifle
[05:35.740]Cause you rarely ever get a chance for revival
[05:37.820]So, just think, just talk about it
[05:39.800]Wait, just think, just tell somebody
[05:41.770]Wait, don't blink, don't fail your body
[05:43.550]Wait, just scream, just fucking shout it
[05:45.980]So the voices in your head fall abruptly silent
[05:47.750]And the blood in your veins flows rough and violent
[05:49.620]And you see everything with your lifted eyelids
[05:51.490]And every burden you carry is eventually lighted
[05:53.570]And you talk to God, even when you ain't sure he hears you
[05:57.620]And you give it to Him, tell Him, He can keep the pain and fears too
[06:01.720]And you keep praying, only now you don't repeat sayings
[06:05.630]Cuz you know when you let it go, then you receive Satan
[06:10.140]"How many people here look for Jesus to solve their problems?
[06:15.160]Lots of people. And how many of those people are fixed?
[06:17.230]None of them know fucking about shit, they're all fucking fucked up.
[06:22.190]Anything to help you escape.
[06:24.840]It takes it, it takes something to just say, 'Fuck it!
[06:28.470]This is reality, I'm gonna deal with it!'
[06:31.450]But do we ever really deal with it?
[06:33.120]Deal with it, stop running, stop trying to find these substitutes?
[06:36.870]Stop trying to find Jesus in strangers, and Jesus in church,
[06:40.450]and God, and find God in yourself. Powerful thing, yeah?"
