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

about

Roman Redd Chicago, Illinois

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
