Leaning on the cltar
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 mans gotta to see himself
As Solomon the wise
You returned from his mission
Cnd he won't look you in the eye
Everybodys leaning on the altar
With nothing to offer but words
Cll I want is a witness
And a place in this world
It shakes me from my sleep
Kicks me right behind the knees
It don't matter how I plead
It don't mind
It's a never ending feeling
But I'mma be alright
That pain in your heart
Howls like Redding in your soul
Lost 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
Everybodys leaning on the altar
With nothing to offer but words
Cll I want is a witness
And a place in this world
It 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
Cnd it hurts like hell each time
Oh they praise me for
Yeah they thank me for
Damn near losing my mind
Why's Everybody leaning on the altar
With nothing to offer but words?
Cll 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
