Paradoxes Lyrics by IV Conerly

The Unknown God

2013

[Verse 1: IV Conerly]
Out of my mind they say
Cause they heard me say
"When I live you die"
And they mock me just by saying they see
I know they lie
But we see the unseen
Disregard physical eyes
And I'm so free
And I'm such a slave
Simultaneously
Strong when I'm weak
Full when I don't eat
You're awake but you're still asleep
Wanna come up, gotta stay down
Wanna speak loud, make no sound
Attractive love attracts hate
Take my hand I still rock a crown
Okay, dude
Seek to be wise, become a fool
I'm saying yes by saying no
Finding rest up under that yoke
Want more trasure, give it away
Requesting pleasure, it's in pain
And to live is Christ, to die is gain
That's my...

[Hook]
They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine

They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine

[Verse 2: IV Conerly]
We triumph in defeat
Conquer by yielding
Wanna know more?
Become like children
The richest men have no millions, billions
Standing up in these earthly stages
But I'm nearing them heavenly places
Don't need a mirror
I see myself clearer through these pages
Matter of fact, they see through me
X-rays, a mirage
Can't come close to diagnose
What's going on in these men's lives
I was born dead
Stillborn, had to be born again
Twenty-five-year-old infant
Not afraid of anything
Cause I feel him
I'm thirsty, but I never thirst
Hand to the plow, but never work
Before the start, it was finished
Many buildings but one broad church
You ain't deaf but you don't hear me
That's clear
Looking through a glass dimly, it's clear
Looking through a glass dimly, I'm here
You don't have to give me

[Hook: IV Conerly]
They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine

They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine

[Verse 3: Odd Thomas]
It's so astounding
It's hard to wrap your mind around it
Living in a state where faith makes everything around me seem like it's upside-down
So complex but even the most unintellectual connects with it
And even the most astute without the Spirit of God sees truth but still rejects it
All the merits of men
Could never make an amends
To the God we've offended
And when compared to God in his holy nature
Every act and effort is unaccepted
And through the sin of one man
Sin entered in and began to spread its infection
But through the perfect blood of God's Son
The innocent won love and grace then extended
So now we're living to die
Because to die is gain
Acquainted with peace
In the midst of great pain
We became free
By becoming a slave
And increase with the aim
To bring fame to his name
Might sound strange
But we don't care what they say
Even if they call us crazy for living that way
It's tough to swallow until you follow the wordplay
Upside-down
Every day, all day

[Hook: IV Conerly]
They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine

They saying oh-oh-oh-oh
He must be crazy
And you know-oh-oh-oh
He's out his mind
'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay
Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay
He can't be fine
