The story behind the song
Another one that goes further into the scary place that we all know as Gabriel Redding’s brain…Now there’s only 46 more of these to go…
Lyrics
Put it in to my custody/ All your pain, then swell it up for me.
Keep it still, just to get near me again.
I stand up and take it cause I feel like it's mine to receive.
I reach out, grasp to be your confidant,
Push it back once you let go of it.
I loathe, I loathe wan' to help you.
You could have control/
of your complete soul/
I just wanna point the way/
not be your savior.
I wonder how just one man can take it/
Prob'ly can't/ he's prob'ly just fakin'
I want, I want just to be free.
I could have control/
But I just give away my soul/
I just wanna point the way/
But I feel like it's mine to pay.
I stand up and take it 'cause I feel like it's mine to receive/
Oh! God, let this cup pass from me!
I stand up and take it 'cause I feel like it's mine to receive. X4
