Rat Gospel

lyrics

Devil kicking at our door
Christmas ‘84
Tail dragged through the snow

Whatever shit has been
We’re gonna try again
(Oh oh)

Volvo lights deadening
On our wood paneling
I want to let this go

Document your hell
The Rat Gospel

His rain erodes the bricks
Orlando ‘96
While anoles tread the flood

The first boy I would meet
kicked me in the teeth
Still feel it now and then

It's hard to hope when some
Florida boys become
Florida men

Document your hell
The Rat Gospel

There was a dream I had the night you left
My sister holding my son I’d yet to have
And I was filled with relief and a joy I didn't think I deserved

And in four years I cradled him in my arms
Sang him "our love our love is all we have”
And tried to give myself the grace we all deserve

The Earth will reconcile
The Earth will reconcile
The Earth will take us back

Document your hell
Come on & saturate
You are a conduit

Beasts can break as well
Come on, annihilate
Give us the truth yet writ

Rectify and tell
Come on, illuminate
Don't leave the past gaslit

Document your hell
The Rat Gospel
