letra de treasure chest - clayton jennings

please don’t bring me this far to fall
because sometimes i have this feeling inside of me that i’m about to lose it all
and i pick up my phone, but i have no one to call, no one at all
sitting alone in the bathroom stall, listening to happy customers as they shop at the mall
pressure on my chest, i slump on the wall
too afraid to move, too embarrassed to crawl
i’m curled up in the corner with a panic attack
praying god will take away these lows and bring the mania back
my sanity’s jacked, and my haters just laugh
my ammo is stacked, so if you give it to me, then i’ll give it right back
i guess if it’s like that, then it’s like that
we can keep it going, and it’ll probably never end
sometimes, in life, it’s hard to make amends
and for me, it was always hard to make a friend
not because i wasn’t social, but because i didn’t fit in
felt uncomfortable in every class i’d sit in
so if you’re like me, listen
it’s time we as a generation break the chains of this twisted tradition
you were made for god, you were made for religion
it’s time somebody checks the system
it’s time we stop living for what the media sells
turn off your tvs and set fire to the propaganda they mail us
who says you have to believe what these teachers tell us?
telling students they’re here by a mistake?
and you don’t think that same science teacher lies alone at night wide awake?
wondering what’s going to happen when he leaves this place?
it’s a lot harder to believe evolution than to embrace god’s grace

i don’t know man, i guess i’m just tired of it all
and the bible says the humble rise and the prideful fall
but what if your pride is just pain in disguise?
i keep my walls up to keep the pain from insides
seen too many things with these blue eyes
people talk about my looks while ignoring my cries
but my god is sufficient, his love is magnificent
these religious cults cut off my wings, maleficent
but he still saw that even though i was different, i had significance
i don’t need a president to set precedence
i serve the king of heavenly excellence
so keep the pessimists away from the rest of us
but please do picture this
me with a mic and my throat with a voice
me with my light and my notes with a choice
time to hang it up, and walk away?
did i help you enough, is it all okay?
what if i disappeared from your life some day?
thousands of posts with the hashtag “pray”
news flash, hashtags aren’t healing and captions aren’t either
life gets easier when you admit you’re a bottom feeder
my whole life i’ve been put through the wringer
i was never given a chance, i had to kick down doors
i prayed alone face-down on my bedroom floor
and i prayed, “god, let me reach more and more and more”
he answered me, and from shore to shore, the numbers soared
no time to pause, another plane to board
no time to sleep, another message to record
it’s a war for me, some treat it like a game
a lot of people know my name, only a handful know my pain
truth is, there’s only one name worth knowing
the spirit is like the wind, and the wind keeps blowing
his name is jehovah-jireh
he met the disciples on the banks like tyra
he can turn around your life, and he can do it today
i think about my followers whenever i pray
and i ask god for you to get saved
so jesus, i give you praise, i give you praise, i give you praise
death has been defeated, king jesus conquered the grave
so whatever it is you’re facing today, there’s a god in heaven looking your way
and if you wanna know jesus, then pause and repeat what i pray:

“jesus, forgive me of my sins
i repent
i believe you died and defeated death
i hail you as lord
until my final breath”

when you came here, you might have felt weak like you had nothing left
but now you’ve been saved, forgiven, and blessed
because if you prayed that prayer, god put his spirit like a treasure inside of your chest
