Year of Our Lord
Lyrics
I need a year to rest up
Coming home on the train
Reciting the ways that I messed up
All alone, on a stage
I go and perform every night but
No one wants to hear the songs I play
But it's all that I know so
If I sing it enough, maybe your mind will change
I want you to hear what I say
I want someone to be standing in the crowd
But it's always the same
"You're too hard on yourself, Brewster, don't get down"
And I wish I could change, but I've always been a coward
And I've got the fear that it's all I can be
In the year of our lord he comes to me
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh, he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
I took a year to fess up
Seven horns and a sharpened blade
I feel like Moriah gets closer (And closer, and cl)
With every new song that I could make
I know what you want to tell me
You know the odds and you're full of doubt
I say it's up to luck but
Mine is always running out
Well, Brewster you've got to find an answer
Or else this is all a waste of time
Or else it'll all just grow like a cancer
And I'll watch the seven seals align
And I see the lions walk around me
Will they find blame on me this time?
And what if I'm gone and there's no one to listen
And it's that way for all my life?
Cause I'm on my knees asking for a blessing
Or something to say what I'm doing is right
I could let 40 years pass through me, gone
Just hoping He'll show up to give me a sign
But what if He comes to the show?
And he says it was just ok?
Cause I've got the fear that is all I can be
In the year of our lord he comes to me
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh, he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da
(One big thing, to end it all?)
Ah ah ah, oh woah
Ah, ah, oh, woah
If I've got nothing to show
For my years of ability
If I'm still alone when I'm old
When my talents abandon me
If I see the light when I go
Do you think that he'll save a place for me?
Cause I've got the fear this is all I will see
In the year of our lord he comes to me
I need a year to rest up
Coming home on the train
Reciting the ways that I messed up
All alone, on a stage
I go and perform every night but
No one wants to hear the songs I play
But it's all that I know so
If I sing it enough, maybe your mind will change
I want you to hear what I say
I want someone to be standing in the crowd
But it's always the same
"You're too hard on yourself, Brewster, don't get down"
And I wish I could change, but I've always been a coward
And I've got the fear that it's all I can be
In the year of our lord he comes to me
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh, he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da (Oh he comes to me)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da
