lyrics

My car headlights illuminated stop signs
conversing with the Spirit yesterday.
I told him that I trusted him and asked him
to say anything he would like to say.
So he followed me through houses and through hotels
and told me everything that I should say.
So I asked him to keep speaking in me
as long as I promised to stay...out of the way

"You're often overlooked and underrated," (i said),
"and altogether undeserved sometimes.
You're instigation has been proven time and time again
especially in conversations of mine."
So I asked him for guidance and for wisdom
hoping that he won't ever decline.
And I said that until these demons are killed
I would always promise to stay...out of the way

"Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth as it is
in Heaven."
