about

A Song about Jake's conflicting relationship with Christianity, and his acceptance that he may never be what the religion demands.

lyrics

Verse 1
Oh my god, I am full of sin
I’m going down to the river
I’m going to wash my body and clean it up again
And Oh, don’t you know, the devil caught me there
Says I’m a dead man walking
Another troubled soul in the portals of his prayer
And everybody’s there
Pre Chorus 1
This cold blue water may save my soul
But my troubled man, to him I fold
Oh preacher man, my blood is running cold
Verse 2
As rogue as I am, I am not in pain
There’s enough water here
To wash this sin, soaked in yellow stain
It grieves in me how heaven seems so grim
Who’s judge among us?
Who hits switch to skin and then can let me in?
I’m soaked in yellow sin
Pre Chorus 2
Don’t choke me now, I’m walking free
The river bank soaked me underneath
Cloak cover me, blue water cover me
Chorus
Everybody yell (x3)
Everybody said I’m going to hell
(x2)
Bridge
Don’t sink your teeth right in me
Cause this sunkin’ stone may drag me underneath
And we may die, and drown my soul to keep
But at least we’re free
No Devil come, no Devil in my sleep
Chorus 2
(Same as chorus 1)
Breakdown
I’m going down to the river, yes I know
I’m going down to the river, oh I know
(x5)
I’m going down to the river, yes I know
Won’t you save me?
Then I’ll save my fucking self
Chorus 3
(Same as chorus 1)
Chorus 3 outro
Say old man
Oh won’t you save me please?
