Dan The Voyager - The Narrative Lyrics

I was just a kid
Who couldn't get it
Turn knowledge into behavior
Couldn't have a problem cause I had a savior
Anything wrong guess I shoulda prayed more
I guess I shoulda made more of myself
Mistakes I made cause no one else
Knew of my stealth
Ah yeah they wouldn't stop tripping me
Yeah y'all 'member me
Missionary worship leader
Tried to make daddy proud of me
Save the world spread the seed
Give them all the prince of peace
I guess I was too weak
I guess I'll go to sleep
Maybe I'll be holy in my dreams
This is the story that I told myself
How I made it all the way to hell
I coulda stoped it if I acted well
Maybe been saved if I had asked for help
This is the story that I told myself
How I made it all the way to hell
I coulda stoped it if I acted well
Maybe been saved if I had asked for help
Come on let's change up the narrative
Can't sleep no sedative
Same old stories got me nowhere fast
Running from the past
Till I'm empty on gas
Yeah bringing up the rear
Ah coming in last
Think it needs a fresh pass
Clean up the scene descriptions
New character arcs and convictions
I was just a boy yeah born to a world
Where you had to be perfect all for the lord
Doesn't matter what you feel
Cause your feeling ain't real
Compared to Jesus
Who died to free us
No skills to cope
No emotional freedom
Just a missionary worship leader
Who couldn't stop stealing things
To fill a need
Saved by a tryptamine
This is the story that I tell myself
How I made it all the way to hell
I tried to stop it but it didn't help
It's what I needed but I couldn't tell
This is the story that I tell myself
How I made it all the way to hell
I tried to stop it but it didn't help
It's what I needed but I couldn't tell
Is it a lie or mental construct
Maybe public relations are keeping my head up
I don't really care for your take on my f*ck ups
Cause it's on me
Who I was and supposed to be
Coming in hot with my destiny
Is it a lie or mental construct
Maybe public relations are keeping my head up
I don't really care for your take on my f*ck ups
Cause it's on me
Who I was and supposed to be
Coming in hot with my destiny
This is the story that I'll tell myself
How I made it all the way to hell
Just a kid that didn't know himself
Found a way out through his mental health
This is the story that I'll tell myself
How I made it all the way to hell
Just a kid who didn't know himself
Found a way out through his mental health
