"Boycott Heaven" lyrics

"Boycott Heaven"

On my
I will pray to the paper
But the people on the way there
Just a distant memory
On my
Throw the baby with the water
And anoint your sons and daughters with some ancient history

Holding on to something
Letting go of nothing
Holding on to something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in, oh

It's a long line
And it bleeds into the pavement
Sixty something words to save them from this recent misery
So eyes wide
Or you will never see the truth
The many ways in which it's bruised
All of the people you knew

Holding on to something
Letting go of nothing
Holding on to something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in, oh

Lost my motivation
Wasn't much for chasing the cross
Boycott Heaven
'Cause there's gotta be somewhere better far from the sun
Holy Roller, please
The damage to your knees
Is something that cannot be undone
So boycott Heaven
'Cause they never ever gave a fuck about us

Holding onto nothing
Letting go of something
Holding on with nothing to believe in
We all could use something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Yes, something to believe in
Yes, something to believe in
Something to believe in
High

So let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
Let it go, mmm
You gotta let it go, mmm
