🎵 SALVATION // by Colliding With Mars

4 ContributorsSALVATION Lyrics [Verse 1] I tried to vocalize my troubles but nobody would listen I know I’m cryptic and I’m weird, that shit comes off as indifferent [Pre-Chorus] Keep an ear to the ground Or spend three years soaking in formaldehyde (Uh-oh) Keep an ear to the ground Or spend three years alone and traumatized (Uh-oh) [Chorus] Where does the pain go? Turns out that no one knows You fed me a fable And I followed the rainbow Nothing is stable I wish you’d just say so I followed my dreams and now I’m seeking salvation [Verse 2] (And he forgave me... God!) (But I don't deserve it, God damn it) Reset, no, I don’t wanna feel that again I would’ve been productive with my time If I wasn’t so scared of an outcome That didn’t come true Depressed, no, I don’t wanna feel that again I would’ve been somebody if I wasn’t so Insistent on being a facade of myself The panic, the vomit The panic, the vomit God loves his children God loves his children, yeah The panic, the vomit The panic, the vomit God loves his children God loves his children, yeah [Pre-Chorus] Keep an ear to the ground (The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit) Or spend three years soaking in formaldehyde (God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah) Keep an ear to the ground (The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit) Or spend three years alone and traumatized (God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah) [Chorus] Where does the pain go? Turns out that no one knows You fed me a fable And I followed the rainbow Nothing is stable I wish you’d just say so I followed my dreams and now I’m seeking salvation Where does the pain go? Turns out that no one knows You fed me a fable And I followed the rainbow Nothing is stable I wish you’d just say so I followed my dreams and now I’m seeking salvation [Verse 3] (But, wait... I don't know what to do) (Sure you do! After everything, how could you not?) I’ve made so many mistakes and I’m sick of it I don’t wanna sing about how I hate myself Anymore, I want it over and done 25 years have amounted to nothing much Watching everyone succeed in the industry Watching my hard work decay into atrophy Watching my checking break even month after month Watching TV turns my default mode network off Eyes glued to screens for upwards of 8 hours The media is god and I am a coward Duality in knowing human creation’s The meaning of life and I don’t get a say in it I just wanted to be somebody special I thought I was seeking my parents’ approval In the end, I failed despite how hard I tried I guess it’s time to hang it up and go swallow my pride (Hocus Pocus) (Fourty-six) [Chorus] (Let's fucking go!) Where does the pain go? (God loves his children, yeah) Turns out that no one knows You fed me a fable (God loves his children, yeah) And I followed the rainbow Nothing is stable (God loves his children, yeah) I wish you’d just say so I followed my dreams and now (God loves his children, yeah) I’m seeking salvation
