about

Started off as trying to write a "Slow Creedence" riff, turned into something more, about the bliss of ignorance and simple determination, but the vulnerability that comes with it and the pseudo-spirituals narcissists; those who perform spiritual bypassing, who feed off of it.
The Soulsuckers. The Witches.

lyrics

I was down on my luck
just east of New Orleans
I took a break from God
God knows it needs one from me
I wasn’t asking for much
Hell, I could hardly read
The writing on the wall
Did it apply to me?
Whether I slide or I pedal
I seem to do it on my back
my mind is a ghetto
its on the wrong side of the tracks
Of the famine, of the feast
Im on the wrong side of the Need
To get out of this town
And I know just where Im headed...

Im going Down to the River
and the Rivers overflowing
with the sins of the forgiven
Here, and now
I want to renounce
I want to build a new home
in this broken down south
Youll never step foot in the same river twice

youre downstream from the holy
(and) it’s a roll of the dice.
Let it Go, and let it rise
but Ill never step foot in the same river twice


Well I went to a witch
all candle sticks and cards
she blamed all my problems
upstairs on the stars
and/but as above so below
all proverbs and crow
in the teeth of its fire
I tossed her black cat
Bone
Stone
cold sweet denial
shun the laws but not the stars
drag the waters and duck the trial
Ill believe it when I see it
Im alive and I want to feel it
where the water it is clear
I know a revival, she is near

...And Im leaving this town for sure...
