about

This is one of the more spiritual songs I've ever written. The lyrics are a collection of questions I ask myself regularly about my faith.

Production-wise, we made the first verse dry (meaning no reverb), the second verse is as spacey as possible, and the third is as hard as we care to "rock."

We decided to use vocoder solely for textural purposes, lul.

lyrics

If I speak out of love but my actions don’t line up,
will you love me?
If I get out of line and I choose to fall behind,
will you forgive me?
If I lose sight of the light and I stumble every night,
will you keep hopeful?
If in the morning I believe ‘cause the night caused me to grieve,
will you accept me?

‘Cause you know that I’m hopeless
And I don’t deserve forgiveness

If you call out my name and claim things won’t be the same,
will I listen?
If you provide my daily bread and excuse what I have said,
will I notice?
If you turn water into wine and give yourself for all mankind,
will I trust you?
If you’re a stranger at my feet begging pleading, “please,”
will I help you?

‘Cause I know that I’m selfish
Even so you provide all my wellness
