lyrics

I remember the smell of incense airborne
The wooden benches, the kneeling, a crown of thorns
Dehydrated children, watch a man lashed on his back
Trying to stay awake, as hard as available vantablack

I remember thinking what if I wasn’t born here
In another country, and my family didn’t hear
Even down the street, like the kids in the cul-de-sac
Is Heaven gonna be like available vantablack

Remember feeling like so much is at stake
And kind of still feeling it somewhere, keeping you awake
So give me a scapular in case I’m shot in the back
I can trade it in, for available vantablack

Remember the soda sale, once a week it’s ok
And these mysteries they don’t have be explained
Being a teenanger and starting to unpack
What’s real, and what’s available vantablack

The berries that fell from trees on the side of the house
The stain if you hit them before they hit the ground
Do I have to tell the priest that I smashed them with a bat
Is that red absorbed, by available vantablack

Sister told us a car accident almost took her life
She blamed her Social Distortion sticker, punk rock lullabies
Maybe the rosary on her rearview mirror sat
Because Mike Ness knew, it’s all available vantablack

Now we know, it’s in available vantablack
Were you there, for available vantablack
I can’t afford, available vantablack
It’s all absorbed, by available vantablack
