(Spoken Intro)
I was so tired of faith that was just... riddles.
I needed something real.
This is Eyepiercinglove.
(Verse 1)
I'm sick of faith that's on a screen
A "spiritual" and pretty, hollow scene
I'm sick of "blessings" built on sand
From men I'll never understand.
I needed something that had *lasted*
So I went up into the attic
Found a cardboard box, I blew the dust
On a "Holy Bible" I could trust.
(Pre-Chorus)
A leather cover, cracked and worn
A spine that's broken, pages torn
A life lived in it, plain to see...
A legacy... for me.
(Chorus)
I want that "Notes in the Margin" faith
That "Wrestle 'til the Morning" grace
The kind that's underlined in red
Hanging on to every word He said!
It's not a clean, "New Standard" vibe
It's the "Survived" written on the side
I want that "Altar of Stones" again
That "tear-stained page" where it says "Amen."
(Verse 2)
You can't just download this belief
It's not a post, it's not a brief
I see the handwriting, a shaky script
Right where the paper's thin and ripped.
It doesn't say "I'm always blessed"
It says "My God, my soul's distressed!"
(Psalm 42)
This is the "Wilderness" I know
The proof that in the dirt, you grow.
(Pre-Chorus)
A leather cover, cracked and worn
A spine that's broken, pages torn
A life lived in it, plain to see...
A legacy... for me.
(Chorus)
I want that "Notes in the Margin" faith
That "Wrestle 'til the Morning" grace
The kind that's underlined in red
Hanging on to every word He said!
It's not a clean, "New Standard" vibe
It's the "Survived" written on the side
I want that "Altar of Stones" again
That "tear-stained page" where it says "Amen."
(Bridge)
This isn't "whiplash," this isn't a "test"
This isn't a riddle that I "messed."
This is a promise, this is the proof
This is the solid, gospel truth!
This is the "Solid Stone" foundation
This is my *real* "Celebrate Recovery" relation!
This is the rock, this is the way!
I'm done with all the games they play!
(Final Chorus)
I want that "Notes in the Margin" faith!
That "Wrestle 'til the Morning" grace!
The kind that's underlined in red
Hanging on to every word He said!
It's not a clean, "New Standard" vibe
It's the "Survived" written on the side
I want that "Altar of Stones" again
That "tear-stained page" where it says "Amen."
(Outro)
That "tear-stained page" faith...
(Music fades)
