lirik lagu elijah herrell – casualties
[verse 1]
he prays
that his parents’ affections
outweigh the fear of rejection when he says
he’s struggled all these years
regret as he wishes he kept his secret
hoping that he someday could forget
he’s not welcome in his home
[pre~chorus]
oh my god, what are we doing?
oh my god, take a look from your throne
oh my god, in this battle, we’re losing
oh my god, i think we’re shooting our own
[chorus]
i see casualties surrounding me
bleeding out for many years
as time has realized their fears
that nothing has changed
there are casualties with bended knees
could your bride please drop the gun?
could you undo what has been done
in the name of god?
[verse 2]
i read
down this list of my friends and family
praying they don’t misunderstand me
and pull the trigger all the same
what cost
will we pay to display the full cross
knowing both sides could call my hope “lost”
too g~y, too christian still
[pre~chorus]
oh my god, what are we doing?
oh my god, take a look from your throne
oh my god, in this battle, we’re losing
oh my god, i think we’re shooting our own
[chorus]
i see casualties surrounding me
brothers giving up the ghost
turning their back on what meant most
in search of love
jesus, could there be recovery
for the many weak at heart?
lord, could your body play their part
and bring many home?
[bridge]
our lives lay in the balance
please don’t compromise the truth
but don’t lash out with opinion
we’re already scared of you
there is so much we could tell you
if we knew that you would hear
but the witness we’re observing
is completely based on fear
“please come back when you’re less queer”
[chorus]
i see casualties surrounding me
brothers giving up the ghost
turning their backs on what meant most
in search of love
jesus, could there be recovery
for the many weak at heart?
lord, could your body play their part
and bring many home?
