Overwhelmed on Ash Wednesday
7 miles to the front of the room
I’m empty, I’m the burned-over district
Nothing left for the flame to consume
Take the soot and cross my forehead
For Lent this year, I’m giving up
Nodding like an insatiable bird
A bit buzzed and conveniently numb
{Instrumental}
How many times did I beg for mercy,
Did I pray for peace
God, I wring my filthy hands
And wash them until they bleed
Overwhelmed on Ash Wednesday
I take communion with gum in my cheek
The wine drips and stains my hands
God, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me
God, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me

So hard to un-vibe! It's like these melodies and feelings came from drawers inside our brains, too real to forget! Might be too deep, it's just a good record. Run up the saaaales <3 TwinTrash
