The Iconoclast
God of rain
You drown me
God of fire
You burn me to the ground
God of life
You contradict yourself
With every move you make
God of hope
Stay inside
Because these times might just do you in
God of rain
You drown me
God of fire
You burn me to the ground
God of life
You contradict yourself
With every move you make
God of hope
Stay inside
Because these times might just do you in
I'm done trying to open this door with half a key
The water's now up to my knees
But my face loses meaning
When i can't see yours
The water's rising to my chin
Will you teach me how to swim
I thought you said you'd never let
A flood like this happen again
And I can't win at this
Introspective game
Unless i find the drain
How come they still don't understand
Why people sometimes change their name
And god of rain
Just send a goddamn hurricane
Wipe me out
Wipe me out clean
And steal the ground from underneath my feet
It was you all along who set my shrine ablaze
Who tore down statues
Turned over the tables
Who said I couldn't see your face
Unless we both go up in flames
And it is I, the image bearer
Now a blank canvas
Doubtful of resurrections
When I thought I heard you call my name
From within those very flames
But I can't win at this introspective game
If I burn down my brain
How come they still don't understand
That they can't take away my name
And god of rain
Will you leave this unexplained?
Build me up
Smite me down
The seasons change while you lay underground
So destroy this image I've made of you
The only believable one
Rebuild the temple in three days
And let me see it when it's done
Destroy this image you've made of yourself
And let me see you for what you are
God of many names
Just pick one
One I can call you by
And you will answer to it
God of rain
You drown me
God of fire
You burn me to the ground
God of life
You contradict yourself
With every move you make
God of hope
Stay inside
Because these times might just do you in
You drown me
God of fire
You burn me to the ground
God of life
You contradict yourself
With every move you make
God of hope
Stay inside
Because these times might just do you in
God of rain
You drown me
God of fire
You burn me to the ground
God of life
You contradict yourself
With every move you make
God of hope
Stay inside
Because these times might just do you in
I'm done trying to open this door with half a key
The water's now up to my knees
But my face loses meaning
When i can't see yours
The water's rising to my chin
Will you teach me how to swim
I thought you said you'd never let
A flood like this happen again
And I can't win at this
Introspective game
