Devour the Divine

always I’ve attracted trouble
wouldn’t change it if I could
sheathe your claws and save your scolding
my god knows that I’m no good
I can’t be contained by judgement
try to burn me at the stake
you will fall and I will flourish
flowers blooming in my wake
(chorus)
calling all my fellow sinners
no outsider left behind
scavengers of all that’s sacred
come devour the divine
though I shine like El Dorado
I still get my pleasures cheap
clutch your pearls and curse my beauty
do your worst, I will not weep
(chorus)
calling all my fellow sinners
no outsider left behind
scavengers of all that’s sacred
come devour the divine

who can tell if I'm the apple or the snake
the world burns a little faster after every breath I take
and yeah I know I've been a monster once or twice
for every blessing handed down there is a price
twisted up and rotten to the core
this was all I ever wanted 'til the day I wanted more
I don’t care if those below me think I’m cruel
I don’t even feed the hungry when I’m full
(chorus)
I’m gonna take what’s mine
sorry if you’re last in line
life’s not fair, I’m not to blame
god doesn’t love us all the same
as you can see I’m doing well
the lord helps those who help themselves
and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt
there are luxuries I wasn’t meant to live without
everything that I desire
paint it gold and build it higher
light a fire
burn my name across the earth
king of everything I see
all of this belongs to me
every ocean every tree
and every birth
my soul is heaven sent and heaven bound
if god did not want me around
he’d bring the lighting, strike me down
but here I stand
so I’ll rise like a rocket on the day that I die
through the eye of a needle to his kingdom in the sky
strike up the band
(chorus)
I’m gonna take what’s mine
sorry if you’re last in line
don't get mad, I’m not to blame
god doesn’t love us all the same
I’m gonna take what’s mine
sorry if you’re last in line
life’s not fair, I’m not to blame
god doesn’t love us all the same
god doesn’t love us all the same
god doesn’t love us all the same

Curtis McMurtry Austin, Texas
Curtis McMurtry writes apocalyptic indie folk about the selfish and the cowardly. Influenced by Fiona Apple and Tom Waits, Curtis' music combines sinister lyrics with sophisticated orchestrations. He specializes in sad songs and mean songs, and considers his catalogue to be “music for people that like to read.” ... more
