about

Inspired by a conversation at a job I was working and being told by religious family that we all come up too short. I got nightmares that night from being given a Bible and analyzing everything that I have gone through in life.

lyrics

Zealot comes up to me
As I work the register
Tells me have you ever thought of
Heaven, if you died today what would
Be the percentage
You make it up to the great blue sky
Is it a lie to I say 70, 75 percent but then I hear
Words that almost sound like an insult
But does it apply? Do I comply?

I’d rather have a spirit that wanders when
Heaven may not be what I expected
Hell if I know the Devil, he could
Please the heat inside of my bones

Hook (2x):
If we all come up too short
Too short, then why should we stand
Tall, If we’re feeling too short too short
Then who is there to call

I dreamt of everything I encountered
But I came up too short on my flaws
The wrongs I wrote I can’t forgive
How will I live?
If I wrote an apology as an ode
What will they expect if
They can’t forget the outcome
As I sing it on my album
Sing it on my, sing it on my album
Sing it on my, sing it on my album

Hook (2x):
If we all come up too short
Too short, then why should we stand
Tall, If we’re feeling too short too short
Then who is there to call
