Daniel with his hands on his lions' backs
told me sometimes darling you gotta fall to know
just how far from the bottom you are

softening my tongue I heard him, still my
head was halfway round the bend

and I wonder if I'll always be the same
and I wonder if I can outrun the train

(I don't stop swimming in the limitless sea)

Jonah was out saving stranded whales
and he told me honey for everything you learn
there's something you must let go of

trickling with rain I listened, still my
heart was stubborn to mend

and I wonder if he'll always be the same
and I wonder if I will catch up again

(I'll drown with my limits if you don't save me)

Shadrach pulled me aside at the furnace mouth
he said love remember the light in the darkness
and the darkness does not understand

the devil was hot on my face as I wept, still
grieving the death of the end

and I wonder if I'll always be the same
and I wonder if I can outrun the train

(I swallow the limits and sleep in the sea).

Jesus.

You're so good at using Biblical references.

Anyway.
I love the rhythm this has.
:iconoalicein:
i'm guessing a bit Neon Bible inspired.

the bible is so helpful.
:iconottersandsky:
Not necessarily neon bible, just bible.

Lol.

Yes. Helpful is one word for it, certainly.
:iconottersandsky:
Thanks. Lol, "Jesus. You're so good at using Biblical references."
That's classic!
:iconottersandsky:
Thank you, I was definitely going for good rhythm.
