I remember everything
Every moment and every place
I recall the light and shade
The rain and fog and the clearing away
It’s too real and it’s too caustic
And I want to forget, I want it to fade
Like you have already, like you’ve always been
How you come out alright and then you say . . .
Take me, take me down to Batavia
Where they’re taping up the tits on their Blind Faith records
Sins become lessons in the back of the megachurch
Become who you are become who you once were
I wish that you could feel
For everyone’s safety and your own sake
I wish you had no excuse
That you could conquer your own pain
These are bridges burned and friendships ended
And I’m culpable too, I am no saint
But I've freed myself from that which is toxic
And there’s nothing left for you to say but . . .
Take me, take me down to Batavia
Where they’re taping up the tits on their Blind Faith records
Sins become lessons in the back of the megachurch
Become who you are become who you once were
When you act like you feel everything
When you act like you feel nothing
When you act like you feel everything
When you act like you feel nothing
When you act like you feel everything
When you act like you feel nothing
When you act like you feel everything
And you won't even get this reference
Take me, take me down to Batavia
Where they’re taping up the tits on their Blind Faith records
Sins become lessons in the back of the megachurch
Become who you are become who you once were [
