“Guidance” talks about the perspective of both God and a man losing his faith and hopes over Him. According to Jacob, this song acts as a second part for “Demons”.
The music video was released on December 1, 2019.
[Verse 1]
I spoke to God even though he don't care how I feel
I sent him letters, yet I found them returned and sealed
All of my prayers left unanswered, yet still I would kneel
I spoke to God even though I don’t know if he's real
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard that evil is silent
I know my demons stay quiet
Until I ask for compliance
That's when they claw and they riot
[Chorus]
So keep me awake
Even though I, wish to escape
From these thoughts I, ponder and pray
Even though I’ve lost all my faith, I will survive
[Verse 2]
I watched below as I saw my son fall in a field
I let his heart fall apart then I taught it to heal
I let him ask me for guidance
I met his questions with silence
Hiding the answers inside it, I always knew he would find it
[Chorus]
So keep me awake
Even though I, wish to escape
From these thoughts I, ponder and pray (Ponder and pray)
Even though I've lost all my faith, I will survive
[Bridge]
He placed the earth in the palm of my hands
Asked me to fix all the problems it has
Now I think I finally understand
So keep me awake, keep me away
[Chorus]
Keep me awake
Even though I've lost all my faith (Lost all my faith)
Keep me awake
Even though I, wish to escape
From these thoughts I, ponder and pray
Even though I've lost all my faith, I will survive
