Lyrics for Christ Jesus

Woke up next to the king Got up, gonna fix me some things And it makes me sick how I can't trust him No I can't trust him Said the bottom of his belly That's where he would keep me Christ Jesus As I'm floating And you get a brick and you drop it down on me Christ Jesus Have you seen us Down on our hands and knees And tell us what's the reason Like a heart that's hung in the sky A hard-on when I die And you passed away And that horizon never came No, it never came It's the time of the week no one sees but me Christ Jesus As I'm drowning And I struggle to breathe It's your face I don't see Christ Jesus Please don't leave us If in peace you'll keep us Well then you should have believed us Please let me inside Hear out my desire Come soon I may die Yes one day I will die I get eaten by the rust You create and breathe the dust And I'll kick in your lungs And I'll bite off your tongue Christ Jesus Please don't leave us Down on our hands and our knees Oh I'll never believe, no Christ Jesus As I'm drowning I struggle to breathe It's your face I don't see Christ Jesus
