| But Even So | |

This was a song that I wrote while in my basement, trying to get off of Codeine. I had just been fired from my job for stealing painkillers. My original intention, when picking up my guitar, was to write a song of anger. However, this begrudging and reluctant hymn of my personal dependence on God is what vomited out instead. That's how it goes some days. I have taken, like a thief Just to buy, my relief Even so, Even so Grace divine I have murdered, your sweet trust Now I'm burning, in my lust Even so, Even so You are mine I have drank, from her cup I have filled my body up Even so, Even so I feel fine I have mocked, your sweet grace I have slapped you, in the face Even so, Even so You are mine I have fallen, weak and lame I have cursed your holy name Even so, Even so I know my lines But you whisper, deep inside And I scream back, from where I hide Even so! Even so! You are mine... Even so! Even so! You ARE mine.
