Bow Down from Piano Noir by Timm Spinn

I climbed up every mountain to find you there
But when I looked around you were nowhere
Echoes of my heart soar to the skies
Desperation for a clearer sign
Sunday morning blindness has a fee
Faith demands a love for mystery
Doubt could write a book inside my brain
Forgiveness seems a million miles away

Chorus:
Bow down to no one but yourself
Your god can't hear you.
I've seen the world around me
in a whole new view
Bow down. Your kingdom for a whore.
No one can hear you.
Question rules that begin to rule you
But you still bow down.

Fell into a church to see your face
But the stare of judgment filled the place
Burning from their eyes like laser beams
Love thy neighbor... or just watch him bleed
Like a million lemmings to the sea
Who never question anything they read
Just raise your hands and close your eyes and pray
Conviction in generic mass display

Chorus:
Bow down to no one but yourself
Your god can't hear you.
I've seen the world around me
in a whole new view
Bow down. Your kingdom for a whore.
No one can hear you.
Question rules that begin to rule you.
But you still bow down.

And you all bow down
And you all fall down.

My conscience breaks into a thousand waves
To fall upon your shores, in search of more
A million faceless names, all restrained
Surrender all control of their fragile souls

What is a life if you've never lived?
Who needs a heart if you never bleed?
What is a fire if you're never burned?
How many lies until you can't believe in yourself?

It was the first time I opened my mind's eye
It was the first time I would see
The way you corralled me, sheltered and quelled me
Created your fear inside of me
In me.
