I cannot find you
But that's not really new
I never could find you for anything
Your eyes on the kingdom
Always calling on Jesus
But I never could find you for anything
Don't look back
But I looked back
And saw the clues I'd failed to track
The sky was black
Your soul was black
You stomped the crack and broke my back
I cannot find you
But that's not really new
I never could find you for anything
Rise up early
Say a prayer
Straighten my skirt
Cover my hair
Open my home
Evangelize
Cook a meal
Now memorize
Invite a friend
Call on the Lord
Time to serve
Pray read the word
It's truth school time
Now prophesy
Twist up my soul
Ignore your lies
Trash talk-- I'm taunted
In my head-- I'm hunted
In the mirror always searching
For any sign of your ghost
Don't look now
Wipe the sweat from my brow
Damn it all, I think I'm haunted
I cannot find you
But that's not really new
I never could find you for anything
One, two three
Jesus lives in me
Four, five, six,
Eyes blink-- playing tricks
Seven, eight, nine
Watch the water turn to wine
Ten, eleven, twelve
Shut up, deny yourself
You asked for my soul
Gave me shit and called it gold
And I helped you shovel it
You asked for my soul
Gave me shit and called it gold
But Fuck. That. Shit.
I think I forgive you
I just need to forget you
I cannot forget you for anything
