All Their Children 03:32
lyrics

You may find yourself Barely in a suburban home And you may tell yourself I will say my prayers again And you may tell yourself One day that check will come in the mail And you may tell yourself I will offer up this sacrifice You may ask yourself When will I be free? And you may ask yourself Who took my beautiful wife? And you may ask yourself Where is is that large automobile? And you may ask yourself Is this all there is? They turn on their TV’s And the preacher man says Blessed are the idle Blessed are the repressed Damned are their children Crushed by their own stress Blessed are the well born Blessed are the Patriots All their children kneel down, down, down, down, down All their children kneel! Bout to punk rock the mic Gonna kill a couple Kennedys Tongue cocked like a slide I make the right type my enemies I Smoke em to ash And watch em choke on their cash Got Kent State calling like Jesus Christ breathed his last Got your cross cased in Ivory Got no place for Samaritans See the Gentiles dying But it don't make you care again They’re watching God's children choke On their Culture War smoke I send em straight up to God Trade the sheep for the goats Look Addressing the elephants and the donkeys in the room With different views Hiding problems by using brooms We call that crooked Adjusting the information while vomiting common sense To condense that the system could use a cleanse Look out for bullets Striking down opposition and competition So the proletariat doesn’t have means of ammunition God’s people need protection from all the wicked evil Lost souls are the reason we are still unequal They turn on their TV’s They turn on their TV’s And the preacher man says Blessed are the idle Blessed are the repressed Damned are their children Crushed by their own stress Blessed are the well born Blessed are the Patriots All their children kneel down, down, down, down, down All their children kneel!

Denial 03:04
lyrics

Pray it off ‘cause we can’t afford it Why are you acting so morose? Unholy fear in my darkest hour It never felt so close God, it never felt so close And if I had someone to talk to I might’ve talked to myself less I spent my early years lifting weights That pierced my heart with the ribs in my chest But I can’t complain, No I won’t let it kill me The real me will come Will come Denial, denial It’s been quite a while As fresh as these wounds ever felt Denial, denial I still force a smile But it always seems to melt I think we could all use some help She hides herself away They all do Lets her phone ring off the hook Doesn’t talk to anyone Kiss the bible For better, for worse Deny the doctor Be the nurse Her and I are blood Denial, denial It’s been quite a while As fresh as these wounds ever felt Denial, denial I still force a smile But it always seems to melt I think we could all use some help I think we could all use some help I think we could all use some help I think we could all use some help

Nothing At All 04:19
lyrics

I count up waking hours like they’re dollar bills I set alarms just like I’m clocking in to the job that I hate It feels like when I fall asleep my dreams get killed Like I’m gonna lose the bit of youth in me that still remains I count up idle seconds like they’re pounds of lead They weigh me down and get me sinking deep into the depths It feels like giving up unless I get ahead Those days when I don't leave the house I don't sit still anymore I've taken that from me Patience won't come around no more ‘Til I'm what I'm supposed to be One day I pray I find out The flight was worth the fall Till then I'm screaming at these walls I don't wanna be nothing at all I repeat self destructive mantras like a heretic I chase routine but I dread it still ‘Cause Somebody told me that this is what life is Somebody told me that I’d always need them Somebody told me to pay them back later Somebody told me and I still believe them Somebody told me that all this is our fault Somebody told me that we should’ve listened Somebody told me they always knew better Somebody told me that I was GIFTED If you work hard then they'll know your name If you work hard there'll be no more pain (The blessings will come) If you work hard then they'll know your name (The blessings will come) If you work hard there'll be no more pain (The blessings will come) Smile and nod and say “Thanks be to God” (The blessings will come) Smile and nod and say “Thanks be to God” (The blessings will come) Smile and nod and say “Thanks be to God” (The blessings will come) Smile and nod and say “Thanks be to God” (The blessings will come) I don’t sit still anymore I've taken that from me Patience won't come around no more ‘Til I'm what I'm supposed to be One day I pray I find out The flight was worth the fall Till then I'm screaming at these walls I don't wanna be nothing at all (The blessings will come) I don't wanna be nothing at all (The blessings will come) I don't wanna be nothing I don't wanna be nothing I don't wanna be nothing at all

Where Is Your Faith? 03:49
lyrics
buy track
She said where is your faith, love? Where is your mind? How deep does your heart beat? And do you know mine? I thought I had the answers I knew nothing at all A life lived so simple The questions still call 'Cause I still don't know where I'm going I still don't know why My mind lives for guilt, still It's so hard to love I think that you might complete me Or keep me locked up She said where is your faith, love? Where is your mind? How deep does your heart beat? And do you know mine? I knew you before I loved you But I live for the search Not one of us has answers We all live with hurt And I I love you but I don't know you I wanna trust you so bad But the doubt is still a part of me I'm still so hurt, so bad I love you but I don't know you I wanna trust you so bad But the doubt is still a part of me So here's all my faith, love Here's all I have The heart that beats in me It isn't so bad

Roman Redd Chicago, Illinois

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, in a devout Catholic household. We went to church every Sunday, and to this day I still do. I've always been a person of faith, but my faith always seems to be sort of at odds with something inside me. Listen to my music and you can hear me wrestle with my own doubt, my mental health, and all the other big questions I ask myself when I take a long shower. ... more
