Three Day Journey

Intro: "I sometimes feel like I am impersonating the dark subconscious of the whole human race" Verse One: To touch me is a luxury that most never experience A Lyricist, Loungin in the shadow where my spirit is I'm baring this cross for so long There's not a care in this world that can cause me to join the heretics I carry this solution inside and can't express it I try to shake the Word and escape the adolescence The lessons that God taught me won't let me rest easy There's no escapin' this whole creation that sees me I be a ray of light amongst the dark Half of this poem I write, in the night I travel alone Mappin' my own route Tryin' to pull out as soon as possible Because every new person I meet is a new obstacle ? oracles I speak with are bleak with Forecast if I keep this Damn, I got a secret I seated in a hull of a ship My destination unknown now Forsaken my Lord I'm all alone now And lack the know how to show my folks how to make it Motivated by the hatred in a world where nothing is sacred My knees shakin' my blood runs cold I start tremblin' My heart dangling by a thread Voices in my head say Chorus: All I know is I don't wanna know what I know To be in this position (Hell no!) I'm going fishin' I'm sorta wishin' my people didn't concern me (But they do!) So I got a three day journey [X2] Verse Two: Up above I hear the waves rushin' Heart bangin' like percussion Mucus in my lungs slushin' Just then, two men seize me Release me among strangers One spoke for him, his voice reveals anger "The danger that we're in is because of you We don't know you. What's your name?" "Jonah" "We're gonna have to throw you over" Before I knew it I was movin' toward the ragin' sea Then creation turned against me There's no savin' me I should call out to God but what's the chance of him answerin'? A more disobedient man, there hasn't been There's no chance for me, so fuck it I'll drown I'll just relax and let the strong current take me down As I approach the abyss with body and soul Yo, this large mouth fish swallowed me whole! From the belly of the ship to the belly of the fish And the only thing that my brain thinks is this Chorus [X2] Verse Three: There is no escapin' this situation I can't even die I ran out of tears and can't even cry I broke down and saw God, I should have followed his plan Then the fish went and spit, spit me out of the land I land on dry land Hot sand scorchin' my steps Sunlight burn down on my neck A little plant grew up around me And shade me with leaves It's a three day journey to my people I believe As long as I'm livin' I can still accept the mission I'm fishin' for those who can listen to this religion As long as I'm livin' I can still accept the mission I'm fishin' for those who can listen to this religion Chorus [X2]
