Whack

Verse 1

Feeling's rising from out of somewhere I don't know
I can't figure it out
It's the start of something and it's here for the long haul
It's taking hold of me now

Chorus 1

My flesh creepin'
Someone's speakin'
I start tremblin' and the floorboards're creakin'
Can't put it to words, but I started to write
My hand's shakin'
Brain's achin'
But I'm gettin' down all that I can take in
The voices crowdin' my head ain't gonna give up without a fight

Verse 2

A single mandate emerges from chaos
Whatever it says'll be done
So many images demanding attention
But now out of the many there's one

Chorus 2

One sound
One crown
Both knees bowed down on the ground
Take your place in the line and do what it says
One voice
One choice
To drown out all of the white noise
Forget the praise of the people, when the lightning is striking, your job is to step aside and pray

Chorus 3

One sound
One crown
Both knees bowed down on the ground
Take your place in the line and submit to the will
One voice
One choice
And I ain't talkin' goddamn James Joyce
Forget the portrait and artist, when the lightning is striking, it's time to stand and be still and be filled
