Verse 1:
Augustine, Augustine, the life and the suffering
In particular, why is it that there's so much of it?
If God is good, there surely shouldn't be none above it
If he's all powerful, then why the hell do we plummet
Down a slippery slope, at the end of the rope
And the evil exists, that's a thing that we know
And we hope and we hope but we never have known
And the question is: Is it a theme? I impose
I suppose that you know, Augustine you've shown
That everything we go through is our sins being blown
So out of proportion, bring on distortion
This is important, I'm 'bout to torch it
Lay down and forfeit, God could have warned us
We want our freedom, we have to abort this
Freewill is a greater good and oh Lord is it gorgeous
So I'll trade my fight for a life that's right
Yahweh show me light, my redemption in sight
Søren Kierkegaard, I ain't fleeing from what I'm towards
I'm leaving my open scars, I'm breathing the word of God
I ain't avoiding this suffering, I'll kill Isaac, it's nothing then
Just to prove to you that I am true, my faith is illustrious
So close up your mouth, imma lay you right down
Cowardice and evasiveness, drowned out, this sound
Is a knife and a price and a shriek for your life
But an angel done came he stopped you on sight
Respond the right way and you'll find out your own ploy
Courageously confront your suffering, then you will find joy
Hook:
Suffer more, now you're worn
You're the only one that I live for
Shut the door, hold your war
This is bound to happen either way or
I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
Said I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
Verse 2:
Boethius here, imma poetically say it
My appeal is I got weight and oh Lord imma lay it
Down on you, I'm drawn to the purpose, I've been so patient
Please give me this lady cause my discernment is waiting
Accept my pain and see it as opportunity for improvement
When the scrutiny's the truest and the chains ain't really loosened
Way by God as you go through it, spiritual and now you're moving
Emptiness of the false good, so you find the true one
Socrates, I cannot argue the standards of right and wrong
You told me virtues we are drawn to, a sort of knowing, we ought to
Not fear death, your final breath, I hold my chest, I'm feeling blessed
Plato's Phaedo, obsolete, oh, telling Crito, guess who's next?
Corrupting the youth and impiety, drunken society
I'm 'bout to down all the hem-lock in sobriety
Intro. new die-a-tes, whoops, I meant dieties, die on the bed
Execution, oh Athen's ruthless, dikasts, dikasts
You are choosing, serve as jurors, he's a nuisance
Philosophical, so incruent
Hook:
Suffer more, now you're worn
You're the only one that I live for
Shut the door, hold your war
This is bound to happen either way or
I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
Said I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
Said I don't wanna suffer no more, no more, no more, no more
