Leaning On The Altar

Don't take it to heart Don't let it in your bones Pull your cheeks to your ears Cause they don't know that they don't know Old man's gotta see himself ass Solomon the wise You returned from his mission He won't look you in the eye Everybody's leaning on the altar With nothing to offer but words All I want is a witness And a place in this world Shakes me from my sleep Kicks me right behind my knees It don't matter how I plead It don't it mind It's a never ending feeling But I'mma be alright That pain in your heart Howls like Redding in your soul Lost a another pint of faith But still you never know Is it time to wear the armor? Or let love break the skin? Can't wake up to another stranger Who don't care where you been Everybody's leaning on the altar With nothing to offer but words All I want is a witness And a place in this world Shakes me from my sleep Kicks me right behind my knees It don't matter how I plead It don't it mind It's a never ending feelin But I'mma be alright Here comes the spiral that I know too well And it hurts like hell each time Well they praise me for Yeah thank me for Damn near losing my mind Why's Everybody's leaning on the altar With nothing to offer but words? All I want is a witness And a place in this world Shakes me from my sleep Kicks me right behind my knees It don't matter how I plead It don't it mind It's a never ending feeling But Imma be alright
