I hear you talking
And you think I don't believe in
Anything
But I've got these old bones
And they splinter from the
Fire inside,
I beg my soul
Have mercy on me.

I know you pray
Down on your knees
That the lord my soul to take
But I am spiraling
Away
into outer space
Because I believe
In
Everything
And this spirit can hardly
Bare it
I've got cosmic ways
About me
The dirt of these earths
Pushes through my veins
And every person is a faith
I believe in
Every story, every place
Is a payer
That's got me on my knees
I beg my soul have mercy on me

Every tree has roots
That twist in every tendon, every muscle
Pulling under my skin
And each ocean's shore
Ebbs and flows in the broad
Open
Endless chambers
Of my heart,
I can inhale exploding sunsets
Galaxies,
And blooming stars
In my desperate lungs
It's not enough
It's not enough
I can take everything inside
Letting it swell in my gut
And still crave more
I shall die of thirst
If my soul has its way
I am the universe's slave
Because I believe in
Everything
Oh I beg
I beg
I beg
My soul have mercy on me
