Lyrics
Verse 1
JD, JD, talking wild to the Papa
seriously?
You keep tallies in the margins of your mantra
kill count fantasy
Remembering Francis, you were laughing at the casket
cold grin, crooked chin
You stamp labels on the saints like a habit
toe-tagging every king
Little serial, you itchy for the sequel
need a fresh fix, right?
You draw halos as a target on the steeple
then brag like it’s light
Beads in your fist, but you swing them like brass
roses on the dash when you floor that gas
All that bravado in a cracked stained glass
your echo in an empty mass
Chorus
Remembering God always wins
Say it again, let it burn in your lips (hey!)
You can holler, you can hammer your spin
but the grave don’t care who you kiss
Remembering God always wins
All your noise just drowns in the hymn
Run your mouth, stack your brittle little sins
still the final word ain’t his, it’s His
Verse 2
Excommunication like a badge on your jacket
hurry, hurrah
You love the drama more than any of the doctrine
you just want a war
You write threats in the back of the Bible
sharp pen, dull soul
You want rivals, idols, cycles of vitals
but never want control
RRRRR-RT-TRR in your head like a siren
static in the skull, can’t sleep, just vibing
SKRRR on the line every time you’re typing
swear you’re a prophet, you’re just posturing, hiding
Behind every joke is a wish, is a dare
behind every stare is a prayer you don’t share
You can dress it up in Latin and glare
but when the smoke clears, who’s still there?
Chorus
Remembering God always wins
Say it again, let it burn in your lips (oh!)
You can holler, you can hammer your spin
but the grave don’t care who you kiss
Remembering God always wins
All your noise just drowns in the hymn
Run your mouth, stack your brittle little sins
still the final word ain’t his, it’s His
Bridge
RRRRRRT-TRR, SKRRR off the page
all that rage, just rust in a cage
You play judge, jury, king of the fringe
but the crown you crave sits on a different hinge
Chorus
Remembering God always wins
Say it again till your voice gives in (hey!)
You can posture, you can poison the well
but you still bleed like the rest of them
Remembering God always wins
Let it ring over all your whims
Every throne that you carve in your skin
gets erased when the light storms in
