All Reasons for Leaving

When the true believers broke ground on the end of days compound
We were fiery and furious, a pack of holy bloodhounds
All hearts pumping loudly, all tongues raised in praise
Warriors of the spirit, prophets of the end days
Now we scrounge our minds for the hopeful feelings
The days long passed where we’d found what we were missing
Just a whole lot of shady shit passed down from the mountain
The weapons stash, the dirty cash and -

Burning

Greg came down from the mountain
Saw something that'll change you
Heavenly bodies
That could stop time at a standstill
He said they come down to watch us
They come down from the stars
I know it sounds funny, no ones laughing so far
Well I don't got much
But I got a bit put away
Five grand ain't much
If you wanna be saved
And look I'm not nuts
I know this sounds crazy to you
But if you heard Greg speak you'd spread the good word too
All night I'm burning up
All night I'm burning up
Courage and conviction
Dark thoughts at bay
Load up the van
In the dying hours of a hot July day
So this is it, bags packed and I'm ready
Aim finally true, aim finally steady
And I mean it when I say this is the last time I call
And I if I don't live to see the end just know I gave it my all

Five Grand in the Hole

They found him dead at 3am
No sign of foul play, but ah shit man it don’t feel good to me
And it wasn’t just the beat cops and the paramedics that came
It was the guys in grey suits, the kind that just wanna talk to you
They came right in to the morning gathering
Like haven’t you heard of letting people mourn?
But sure I’ll admit it, I guess my faith ain’t at its highest
Now that of the flock has been shorn
Now I’m watching my back every step that I take
Thinking about how I spent all my money just to get to his place
And that was it that was it, no nest egg no back up
Five grand in the hole, at a wall with my back up
So I guess I started to crack when I thought about the money
And it was a forgone conclusion when they said that they had something for me
Just get in close, tell us what you can, better if you get him talking on the phone
Handing me the knife, and asking me to slip it in the back of the only place that I've known to call home
But I’m watching my back every step that I take
Thinking about how I spent all my money just to get to his place
And that was it that was it, no nest egg no back up
Five grand in the hole, at a wall with my back up

End of Days Compound

Killed the car engine
As we came into the clearing
The compound up ahead
You in shotgun, kind of reeling
drunk on possibility
We could almost taste it in the air
Sunlight off the dashboard
And its color in your hair
Out in the sticks
Devote our lives to the needy and the sick
And the inter dimensional beings
Will guide us with their teachings
You said you first left home to get away
But all those scene dudes who propped up the power structures that were put in place to make you powerless
Well they were everywhere!
And when you heard about the sweet relieving feeling
That came with his healing
You thought maybe maybe maybe you belong here
You belong here
Live off the land
Build it up with our own two hands
And the inter dimensional beings
Will tether us to their teachings
All glory over reaching
