To Kingdom Come
Lyrics and Music by Michael Angelakos 2008, published 2009
That’s a frosty way to speak
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri
All this talking pulls my teeth
I believed in you so you’d believe in
Me, I cried out “God!”
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark.
So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it’d always feel
Once I had a name to claim
I scraped on all the walls like an orthodox saint
Now I wish for the same old things
That turned me inside out
Keeling in such pain
It’s a game!
Me, I cried out “God!”
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark.
So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it’d always feel
Never have I ever been
Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin
But that’s the kind of state I’m in
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine
Come, come hear it calling me
Yelling, like if ever there was someone
Who could make things heavenly again
Feel alright!
Me, I cried out “God!”
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark.
So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it’d always feel
