Lyrics

 

It’s my Rumspringa Holiday
So ima go my own direction
The stakes are real but I can pray
The Lord will be my sole protection

But I've done nothing so far
And I can keep that up for as long as it takes
No matter if i take it pretty far
If I'm going with God theres no need to Pump the brakes

​

CHORUS

Because the Book brings me back

I am telling you no lie

The Book brings me back

And then I will abide

​

​

There is in something I've missed
I just want to make things clear
The active demons that i’ll not resist
Can only bring my savior near

​

If I choose the whimsy of this earth
For a thrilling season of come and go

The gospel tells me that I must persist.          

And see how far this shit can go 

​

CHORUS

Until the Book brings me back

I am telling you no lie

The Book brings me back

And then I will abide

​

​

I’ll just
Get it, get it in, get it in
Til we’re out of skins or wearing thin
Make a desperate move to live in sin
and then begin to see myself living free.           

the test of being on a spree
Society is filling me
With tons of rum and guns and drugs and cum

Sure, but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
Cos I’ll have left my book back on the shelf
I’ve cried
Well, that might be a lie
Can’t feel with all these pills inside
So while I’ve got my high I’m gonna ride    
It’s fine,
Cause I’ve been so denied
I’m gonna do it in my time
For Only now shall I reside
in tribes of trampy little boozehounds
in hipster-ridden cities
Where I can rub all those balloons
I’m gonna play with all those titties till I drown.
I’ve found

that I can mess around
All day with enough yay,
I think there’s still some On the tray
I didn’t even pay
This is a prayer for me.
Of falling into trust
So with a little luck I’ll deal and suck
And then I’m gonna fuck

​

CHORUS

Until that Book brings me back

I am telling you no lie

The Book brings me back

And then I will abide
