[Lyric] Down Here on Earth (White Noise (CAN))

[Prehook]
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down

[Verse 1]
Young travelers, time unravelling
Sleeping giant, wake to shake the gravel up
Gravel under feet is flying as we're deciding that the lord's
Gavel is the needle, won't be defying him
No cardinal sins, no cardinals in
That part of the world, far from kin
And far from them, a different man
Was bowing to the cross with a rosary in his hand
And a Webley in his hostler, he followed the same God
But he disagreed with their interpretations of God's laws
See while these two were in China tryna sell God
This man would respond to the same kind of TED talk
By blowing your head off
Til his own boss let his lead off, shot him in the skull
He was too violent for the Republican army
All in the name of the same God that they were following
[Hook]
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate

[Verse 2]
But he didn't die and he had a daughter
And she moved to Canada when she was grown up
New life you know
These are some people that I'd like to have known
When they were 20s
Imagine fleeing west being tracked by your enemies
Subs in warmtime, for the phil of what's holy
His son and her daughter got married at Maximilian Kolbe
And that really shook some tectonics
But whose fault was it? A mother a father?
Or had this love been caused by the heavenly father?
Was this blend so wrong it made conception a problem?
For 6 years this couple this couple tried
Nothing but a miscarriage by 1995
And then came a miracle, from beyond the spherical
Thanking God they named the boy the bearer of Christ
[Hook]
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate

[Verse 3]
Here I am 20 years later just watching the clock tick
Piaget, learning bout how to learn about knowledge
Sitting in a lecture, studying Locke's shit
Notebook looking like a tabula rosa
I wanna learn a lot but I'm not sure where I fit
Writing essays since September and I'm fricking exhausted
I just want to find love, I'm not loving the process
Stress in the air, so I just stick to my drink
Feeling fairly agnostic, Jell-O shots wearing out
No more satsuma and Jesus at grammas house
Gin in the cabinet, I'll go and hand it out
Captain goes down and I won't abandon vows
Morning its hangover, praying to a new idol
Though shalt not worship, eye roll to show I know
I have things to do but I'll try harder for finals
Dehydrated spinning my Mick Jenkins vinyl
[Hook]
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate
Down here on, down here on
Earth, they say the curse that you won't be here long
They say a whole lot of things
That I can't differentiate
