The Church of One
This track dives into religious guilt and internal isolation. I describe a 'church of one' where the narrator battles their own demons and 'evil intentions.' It is a raw, confessional piece about trying to hold onto faith when the 'devil's rejection' weighs heavy and the holy spirit feels like a haunting rather than a salvation.

THE VERSES
Microphone phantom
Gas in the canister, aluminum for cancer
One gallon, sip, hurlin' up a thousand trips
Many versions of me up in the church, diddy-bop to this
God forbid
The echo be my soloist
Shout to the homie that I heard in the hallway
Out here in the world and I came in a calm way
Y'all pray
And the lord is my sword and my shepherd
Brought it on myself, gotta do better
Cleric, hear me, these sins that I carry
Heavily weighed, weight
Wait, a whole second
Devil's rejection
Evil intention
It be demented
Never accepted
Out for my head
Get outta my head
Baptism
Black water flow in my system
Christ told me that I should've listened
Now I got all of this tension
Burnt, grinded out the urn
Guess I never learned
Why I went to church in the first place?
Comin' to terms with myself, it's the worst case
Always in the same damn place
Man, it's some damn shame
(Yeah) One life, one body, one temple
(Yeah) Same sin, same devil
(Yeah) One mind, one soul
The church of one
I don't wanna die
The demon be plottin', got my third eye open wide
I can feel the spirit of my homie right by my side
He's tryna get me, but I'm holdin' on for dear life
Holdin' on for dear life
