lyrics

V1:
Was told astrology was bad for me
That there are things we shouldn’t see
That trust should trump uncertainty
Well can I take a peek beyond the veil
The devil’s in the details now
You wanna talk but you’re not listening

Chorus:
Well I’ve been running on empty
While you try to save me
Hanging out in the backseat
Say I’m welcome
You’re not welcoming

V2:
Was told that nothing separates his love
So am I still a child of God
Cause I can’t tell from all you’re saying
No one’s winning in this Holy War
What are we even fighting for?
Our only law to love now missing
