“To Kingdom Come” is the second single released for the album Manners. The title is a direct reference to the bible verse in Matthew 6, specifically Matthew 6:10. The bible verse describes forgiveness to others when they have wronged you, and only then God can forgive you through prayer.
In this so...
[Verse 1]
That's a frosty way to speak
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri
All this talking pulls my teeth
I believed in you so you'd believe in
[Chorus]
Me, I cried out "God!"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
So now I hide in piles
Of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me
How it'd always feel
[Verse 2]
Once I had a name to claim
I scraped on all the walls
Like an orthodox saint
I wish for the same old things
That turned me inside out
Keeling in such pain
It's a game
[Chorus]
Me, I cried out "God!"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
So now I hide in piles
Of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me
How it'd always feel
[Verse 3]
Never have I ever been
Clutching at your hair
To cure you of some sin
But that's the kind of state I'm in
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine
[Outro]
Come, come hear it, calling me yelling like
If ever there was someone who could make things
Heavenly again
Feel alright
[Chorus]
Me, I cried out "God!"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
So now I hide in piles
Of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me
How it'd always feel
[Chorus]
Me, I cried out "God!"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
So now I hide in piles
Of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me
How it'd always feel
