about

I wrote this on piano. I don't really know how it happened, but I let my Black Crowes out a bit. Or something. Hope you dig it! The sounds are bit, um, off in this recording.

lyrics

I keep coming up with questions I don't want,
Type my name out in 10 pt. Georgia font,
There's nothing smaller than not recognizing yourself,
With my life on the highway, my bones on a shelf.

You took my name from Your book, and that's okay.
I never could figure out why it was there anyway.
I'm a mix up, a phone call, a number misdialed,
I'm a pet you brought home from the wild.

Oh God, when are You coming back? Where's Your mercy gone for sinner's like me?

I tried sitting for a second, calling out Your name,
And yeah, You sat with me, but You weren't the same,
Like all science and death had rendered You cold.
Is it just me or is this living thing getting old?

Oh if You pass me on Your way, can I get a healing or two?
Some sort of touch to know I'm close to You.
Cuz I'm blind and I'm deaf, like this world ain't mine at all,
I need a hand under my arm when I stumble and fall.
