based on job 13:15, where job says “though he slay me, I will hope in him”
even though it felt like maybe God was punishing him, Job still worshipped God.

i wish you all would shut your mouth
you cannot know what breaks me down
F                         F2           F3             F4
your words are meant to burn with doubt
but i am sure that i’ll get out

i’ll not keep still, while you’re around
i’ll speak the truth, i’ve made this vow
no lie will ever cross my lips
it’s not my time, but you started this

Am   G/B    C
let what happens make me 
stay so true
though you slay me
i’ll still worship you

listen to me, see my tears
pull me from this pit, from my darkest fears
i am surrounded on all sides
please bring me out, hear my cry

i can’t undo what they have done
i’ve kept myself pure, it’s the race i’ve run
grant me this, that i won’t hide
help me not be terrified

Though You Slay Me I'll Still Worship You

Just a sad song I wrote a long time ago when I lived in Brooklyn. This is a demo made while working on my upcoming EP, 'here for you', at The Library Studio. The fully produced version is great and trusted friends prefer it...but for me, the simplicity of Matt Patrick on guitar and the beautiful instrumental made me cry when we first worked on it, and pretty much every time since, so I thought I would share it.

I Wish You'd Tried - Demo Version

LYRICS

White cat under a ladder
Is there a good kind of bad luck?
Fall 20 feet, land on your feet
Can you catch me when my balance is off?

Walking under a ladder
You can roll the dice
Say you’re the one, nat one
Stare into snake eyes

Circle the prey
Cross the path
Ignore the warnings
Of the white cat

White cat white cat
Under a ladder
Can’t tell if you’re bad luck
Or the purest sinner

White cat white cat
But rather the latter
No turning back 
Turned into dinner

White cat under a ladder
Might as well go up
Cat on the roof
No telling who will fall off

Walking under a ladder
You can roll the dice
Say you’re the one, nat one
Stare into snake eyes

Circle the prey
I’ve met my match
A musical warning
from the white cat

White cat white cat
Under a ladder
Can’t tell if you’re bad luck
Or the purest sinner

White cat white cat
But rather the latter
No turning back
Turned into dinner

White Cat
