Keep.

Stay

Paycheck tears

A song from our forthcoming album "VEILS" on A Bruised Reed records.
Yo, I spit with the tongue of the martyrs, flipped in the furnace of fraud,
Scripture twisted by fascists who fasten the cross to a sword.
Praise in the pews while they poison the poor,
Golden calf in the chapel, capitalism the lord.

I ain’t here for that flag-draped gospel distortion,
Where the pulpit’s a pulpit for corporate extortion.
Blessed are the meek, but they mockin' the humble,
Turnin' sermons to war cries and mercy to muscle.

Eyes wide in the age of surveillance and spin,
Where the halo's a brand, and redemption’s a skin.
They baptized the lies in American pride,
But the Christ that I ride with was never on that side.

They built their heaven on the backs of the broken,
Sold the truth just to keep us hopin’.
But I see through the stained glass lies,
Holy fire still rains from the skies.

You can’t chain what was born to be free,
Can’t drown out what was sung in the deep.
This ain’t grace in a flag-wrapped noose—
It’s war songs dressed in gospel truth.

Barbed-wire parables, borderlines Biblical,
Buildin’ walls with their verses—ain’t nothin' reciprocal.
They scream "kingdom come" while they fund the machine,
And preach love with a muzzle strapped tight to the scream.

I break bread with the rebels, disciples in hoodies,
Turnin’ water to Molotovs, exposin' the goodies.
This is gospel for the hunted, the haunted, the bruised,
Not the rich in the pews with their doctrines abused.

Every beat is a beatitude flipped for the streets,
I don’t speak in tongues, I just speak what they keep.
Yeah, I’m bringin' the heat where they silence the youth,
This the church of the real, this the fire of truth.

They built their heaven on the backs of the broken,
Sold the truth just to keep us hopin’.
But I see through the stained glass lies,
Holy fire still rains from the skies.

You can’t chain what was born to be free,
Can’t drown out what was sung in the deep.
This ain’t grace in a flag-wrapped noose—
It’s war songs dressed in gospel truth.

Drinking From The Sun, Walking Under Stars Restrung

Won't Let You Down Restrung (feat. Maverick Sabre)

My album is a story of triumph, of letting go of all the uncertainty in my head and learning to walk the path of my own heart. “Sincerely” is about realizing how much better this world would be if we all loved ourselves, if we weren’t afraid of being vulnerable and honest. It doesn’t matter who’s president or what technology we invent or what extremists we destroy, the only thing I know is this:

There will never be peace if we do not all love ourselves.
