deliverance - st. lenox lyrics

[verse 1]
jesse you said the winter usually sticks around
even if the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow
punxsutawney folktale was bullsh*t you know
well, that’s what i’ve always thought about religion
lately, i can just feel all the entropy
after you’re recent unexpected passing
thinking ’bout that existential gibberish
i’ve been really thinking about deliverance now

[verse 2]
jesse, i must confess to you something
secret just between you and i
‘til now i’ve been lucky in life to never have
somеone close to me еver die
but now that i’m 40, in the middle of my life
talkin’ ‘bout stuff like taxes and inheritance
serious subjects for a fresh attorney
unschooled in the heavy poetry of religion

[chorus]
i still remembered a verse from the bible
to recite for you at your funeral today
we prayed for heavenly grace and for
your salvation and deliverance from evil
[verse 3]
i’ve never been a big fan of religion
ever since i feel the church lost its compass
and after high school i think i needed some
time in the wilderness to myself
but then i walk by a cathedral in silence
thinking about stuff like god and the universe
and can an atheist still get into heaven?
and does god reward virtue in kind with
happiness

[chorus]
i can still recall our last conversation at the
office just before the holidays
we asked god for miracles like
forgiveness for sinners and poor unbelievers

[solo]

[chorus]
i swear i can still hear the sound of your voice
in the office sometimes in the mornings
we worshipped invisible forces and
i saw your picture at the altar laughing with jesus
and the saints
[verse 4]
driving from the funeral in the middle of the night
i can still hear the cicadas singing
maybe i believe in hope for the future
these days i think you gotta believe in something
jesse, the world’s been trembling mightily
every day since you’ve gone
i’m ready to believe in something these days
maybe i can believe in deliverance now
