lyrics

Like a saint
Living and dying in pain
Cursing your ancestors for their mistakes
And trying to pass on the blame

Like a saint
Hiding away all your shame
Cursing their unholy names
And begging your followers for their loose change

We'll just keep pushing and shoving it down
We'll just keep seeking and stumbling around
Saying "How in the hell did it end up this way!"
Cut off our feelings to stay where it's safe

Reality's open and empty and free
Meaning is infinite, whatever that means
You search for a purpose, a plan or a plot
But life keeps on going if you have one or not

As a child you could see
Didn't need to believe in being better or having to change
As a child you received of its blessings
You needed no lessons on how to be saved
As a child you were free
Now you're locked in a cage that you've made
Just like a saint
Locked in a cage made of rage

Your application is being approved
Your beatification is coming real soon
If you're not aware then we're looking for you
Your canonization is showing its roots

about

Dear Providence Richmond, Virginia

Dear Providence shares a message of self-realization and emotional healing. The songs are an invitation and opportunity for listeners to challenge preconceived notions and become open to an aspect of themselves that is infinite and whole despite the appearance of being finite and separate.
