Leaning On The Altar

Don't take it to heart

Don't let it in your bones

Pull your cheeks to your ears

Cause they don't know that they don't know

Old man's gotta see himself ass

Solomon the wise

You returned from his mission

He won't look you in the eye

Everybody's leaning on the altar

With nothing to offer but words

All I want is a witness

And a place in this world

Shakes me from my sleep

Kicks me right behind my knees

It don't matter how I plead

It don't it mind

It's a never ending feeling

But I'mma be alright

That pain in your heart

Howls like Redding in your soul

Lost a another pint of faith

But still you never know

Is it time to wear the armor?

Or let love break the skin?

Can't wake up to another stranger

Who don't care where you been

Everybody's leaning on the altar

With nothing to offer but words

All I want is a witness

And a place in this world

Shakes me from my sleep

Kicks me right behind my knees

It don't matter how I plead

It don't it mind

It's a never ending feelin

But I'mma be alright

Here comes the spiral that I know too well

And it hurts like hell each time

Well they praise me for

Yeah thank me for

Damn near losing my mind

Why's Everybody's leaning on the altar

With nothing to offer but words?

All I want is a witness

And a place in this world

Shakes me from my sleep

Kicks me right behind my knees

It don't matter how I plead

It don't it mind

It's a never ending feeling

But Imma be alright
