Koolaid

I used to sit down in the basement
Taking in every word he was saying
Now that I’m older I am over
All the play pretend facade
When I go into the buildings
It just feels like they’re all killing
The innocence of the well
And the word of God
 
Mhm and I want it to stop mhm
 
I’ve got a toothache
A spiritual cavity
Seismic heartache
Like ground breaking under me
Painting by numbers
All beige is lackluster
I can’t help but wonder
What it’s for
I don’t want the Koolaid
Yeah, I’m sure
I want the water
 
I used to put God in a box
Call me crazy
But I thought
That He really liked it there
But now I’m learning
That He’s riding on the wind
That the Spirit and love
Are everywhere
 
And there’s a fountain somewhere
I really want it I swear
 
And there’s a fountain somewhere
Where you can breathe in the air
I really want it I swear
I just really need some water
