about

Inspired by a near-death experience, this track is a mediation on faith and mortality.

lyrics

Death is what made me remember
That I was in love with life
One day I will be a cadaver
And a medical student will cut out my tongue and my eyes

I never saw a light
No, I never heard a voice
I was cold
It was black
I was blue
There was nothing you could do
So, save your thoughts and prayers
Save them for someone who cares

Death is what made me surrender
All of tricks, the tricks of my trade
Until your heart finally stops beating
It is difficult to comprehend that we're nothing but clay

I never saw a light
No, I never heard a voice
I was cold
It was black
I was blue
There was nothing you could do
So, save your thoughts and prayers
Save them for someone who cares

Cause I don't

In a portrait
In my bedroom
In chiaroscuro light and shade
Staff in hand, he is my shepherd
But this Jesus cannot fix my legs
Thoughts and prayers are a charade

They say no to science
To evidence and experiments
But still take the medicine
And see the surgeon
Whenever they get sick

Thoughts and prayers are a charade
