about

When you're in need...Call upon your higher power...

lyrics

‘Can’t cure myself, need a remedy,
It’s decreed so I’m making my plea,
Grown man down on his knees,
Hands squeezed begging please,
Appease these thoughts that torment and tease,
My malignant disease, arch enemies,
Impure thoughts, why I’m ill at ease,
Battle these mental maladies,
Relive tragedies, I’m inclined to replay, rewind,
So tired hard wired to not like what I find,
Can’t delete, they’re on endless repeat,
I might fight back but I’m still in retreat,

‘I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Bail me from jail if I’m ever to be freed
Help me forget hard liquor and weed,
I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Accept the flower won’t grow from the seed,
If I don’t I concede I won’t succeed.’

‘Out in the sun yet I never get a tan.
I’m the one you hear kick the can,
Late at night in the dark back streets,
Talking shit, mouth stuck on repeat,
So full of drugs I’d hear my heart beat,
All alone, as all I’d mistreat,
But now I’ve been told to forgive myself,
It’s fundamental for my mental health,
Instrumental to reclaim myself,
Discover uncover who I’m meant to be,
Now self-aware I care sincerely,
So Higher Power please appear to me,’

‘I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Bail me from jail if I’m ever to be freed
Help me forget hard liquor and weed,
I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Accept the flower won’t grow from the seed,
If I don’t I concede I won’t succeed.’

‘Together I know we can make a difference,
Together we’ll grow we can go the distance,
Together we can have a loving existence,
Ignore outside interference,
Clearance for take-off, siren sounded,
So why are we grounded and my lyrics impounded,
Gob smacked admirers look on astounded,
I’m keeping it real, yet you elude me,
Not manned your post, not doing your duty,
I’ll be the beast if you’ll be the beauty,
You can be Richard and I will be Judy,
If we hit gold we’re splitting the booty.’

‘I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Bail me from jail if I’m ever to be freed
Help me forget hard liquor and weed,
I’ve been told to find a higher power,
To help me out in my hour of need,
Accept the flower won’t grow from the seed,
If I don’t I concede I won’t succeed.’
