[VERSE]
Indiana Sundays
A good coat
The smell of something and someone trying
Vows
You learn the word before you learn the cost
Before you understand that giving yourself to something
And losing yourself to something
Aren't the same wound
You read it like it's still the year it was written
Something that was once alive
But is now just scheduled
Sit in the old wood
You hear your lost voices—
But you can’t tell who’s who
[PRE-Chorus]
It bent on the way down
You could hear it
You don't follow it into the ground
You hold what you had at the top
[Chorus]
You still—
What’s left—
After you strip it
Aftеr you burn the minutes
After thе last mouth closes
You don't need it witnessed
You don't need a room
You just need the thing that woke you up at three a.m
To still be real
[VERSE]
You turn a rock
Looking for the mark 'Made by God’
The way everything else is labeled
The way nothing important ever is
You twist the promise on your finger
Like the fear of being wrong
Is louder than the words
You know that fear
You lived inside it
Wear it like your good coat
You just stop pretending the fear and your faith
Were the same
[PRE-Chorus]
It settles when you let it
You stop chasing
What stayed is enough
What left was never yours
[Chorus]
YOU STILL BELIEVE WHAT’S LEFT
Who chose to stay or who chose to go
What was trying to get through
What endured
What you still feel when you're alone
And too tired to lie
[BRIDGE]
What reaches you
Survived everything between the source
And here—
Hold it for what it is
Not for what it was called
On the way
You’ve seen the distance
Between what was promised and what arrived
And what arrived
Was all you had
And it was enough
And you’re still here
[BRIDGE]
YOU STILL BELIEVE
GOD FORGIVE YOU
Not the way you were taught
The way you had to
Not the approved version
Something older
Something that doesn't need ratifying
[OUTRO]
WE SAY IT (WE ALL SAY IT)
Even the ones who stopped believing say it
Eyes down
Hands folded
Still wearing it
The way we were shown
Muscle memory is its own kind of faith
