It Tasted Like Water

from The Man Is A Thief by Josie McQueen

/

lyrics

Pick me up, I'm just a pawn,
You can put me in my place,
There’s a reason we go first,
I would hate to see you scathed,
Kings don’t fight, but gods don’t bleed,
Kings don’t fight, but gods don’t bleed

Line me up to knock me down,
We’re so expendable to you,
And we are all free to believe,
Anything you tell us to,
But those who fight are never free,
Those who fight are never free

I’ve tasted sin,
And I swear that it tasted like water,
Cried out to God,
And his voice sounded just like my father,
And then he’s gone,
Left me nothing to do here but wonder,
The man from Mars,
Called to say that he wouldn’t be bothered
He said...

Don’t look to us for truth,
We’re just doing what the powers that be told us to,
And yes we fear our youth,
Cause’ they remind us we didn’t always fear the things we do

Holding on to the past doesn’t mean it was right,
We’ve got to let go of the dark when we reach for the light,
But about the unknown, how do we know what we can believe?
I imagine my imagination’s always going to get the better of me

Prechorus
Chorus

And now I'm trapped inside a temple where the walls are made of bone,

And all I know for certain is we live and die alone,
But these walls are not as solid as I’ve made them out to be,
The only thing that traps me here is me so I say

Look to yourself for truth,
Don’t do it just because the powers that be told you to,
A constant search for proof,
Is the only way for certain you will waste your youth

Look to yourself for truth
