Jesuit Lyrics by Matthew Allred

2020

Wanted it, like a Jesuit
But I acted more like a merchant
Put my faith in it, the old scratch 'n sniff
Kind of interesting, until it faded
Gave up confidence for a trust in men
Sword I'd forged from my circumstance
Said to sheath it quick, I was shakin' bad
Couldn't cut a thing except for my left hand
[Chorus]
Now give me a mask, and I will take a row
But understand, underneath, there's no face, just a skull
Born, only changes if force is applied
Hey, at least I tried
All-in-all, I enjoyed myself
Spending dough like I was someone else
And in the end you know I kinda felt like I was
The way we carried on, someone might'a thought
We were expert actors in the knive arts
You whispered, "I pulled myself apart"
As for me, these words were just a start
[Chorus]
Now give me a mask, and I will take a row
But understand, underneath, there's no face, just a skull
Born, only changes if force is applied
Hey, at least I tried
You can hear it, if you listen close
The silver screen, classic scene, whispering ghosts
But one look and they'll disappear
Truth be told, they were never here
[Chorus]
Now give me a mask, and I will take a row
But understand, underneath, it's a skull
Born, only change if force is applied
Hey, at least
I tried
