  • They break you in like a wild foal
    Target the dole, queue broken souls
    I don't disagree with everything they do
    I was a child in the peak of a panic attack
    The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back
    Was the wailing sound of my cousin slain in spirit

    Well
    Come on, lift your head
    Get out your frozen state
    You're starting to look like Otzi now
    Come on, wake the dead
    Show me you walk on water
    And I'll get a little bit closer to it

    Oh, I have friends who were cast aside
    A young meek lad with a curious mind
    Just terrified of what the church would have to say
    No, I don't know if I believe in it
    But when the rapture comes, if this is a sin
    I'll burn with everybody that I know

    Yeah, I was lost in their sermons and lies at God's camp
    Trying to pray the gay away
    Something was shook in me
    A birth of a new foundation
    That gets me a little bit closer to it

    I can't live under the notion
    That there's no reason at all
    For all this beauty in motion
    I don't buy the deities spoke of
    But in love, there's something to hold
    And I get a little bit closer to it

    What is God?
    What is God?
    What is God?
    I never found him

    (I never found him) I can't live under the notion
    That there's no reason at all
    For all this beauty in motion
    I don't buy the deities spoke of
    But in love, there's something to hold
    And I get a little bit closer to it

    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer
    I get a little bit closer to it Writer/s: Sam Fender
