"american church" lyrics

In the American church, I wait for you to arrive
To my surprise, I can never find you
Find you
Keep me waiting, I'll keep guessing
There's so much nothing to contemplate

I'll stand in the rubble
In the same manners as we were younger
Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops
Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops

I jumped right in, the shock sets
Next hits the hard cement
We had to learn the hard way
Life was set in stones we carved
By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde
And you live with a man that you can't stand
Kind of funny how it works
When we witnessed it firsthand

In the American church, I wait for you to arrive
To my surprise, I can never find you
Find you
Keep me waiting, I'll keep guessing
There's so much nothing to contemplate

I'll stand in the rubble
In the same manners as we were younger
Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops
Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops, blood drops

In the American church, you say we're all cursed
Take my worth, hurt me
In the American church, you'll break out
Bursting through my mind, convert me

I jumped right in, the shock sets
Next hits the hard cement
We had to learn the hard way
Life was set in stones we carved
By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde
And you live with a man that you can't stand
Kind of funny how it works
When we witnessed it firsthand
Oh, firsthand

Remember at six, when we were just kids
And all the hard hits healed as we walked it off?
Instead, Mama was dealing with her alcohol
When all that I would do was sit and enjoy the view

I jumped right in, the shock sets
Next hits the hard cement
We had to learn the hard way
Life was set in stones we carved
By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde
And you live with a man that you can't stand
Kind of funny how it works
When we witnessed it firsthand

Firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, first
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand

Firsthand
Firsthand

Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
Firsthand, firsthand, firsthand
