What Do I Believe?

from Battery EP by John Pattison

/

lyrics

Please allow me to speak with a little honesty;
This one's from the heart.
Who's the God I know, and who's the one I don't?
Are they translations apart?

My head's spinning out
And out of control,
And now I have to know, now I have to know,
Tell me: what do I believe?

Living off dead birds,
Manna eaten carefully,
Where, Lord, is the feast?
I don't want dead words,
I only want you to speak - tell me what I believe.

My head's spinning out
And out of control,
And now I have to know, now I have to know,
Tell me: what do I believe?

Am I heathen or layman,
A child or self-appointed priest,
Revelation or is it pressure of norms bearing down on me?
Oh, there's seas of forgiveness and laughter and dancing feet,
All I want is to see you where you should be, so that I can breathe.
