about

First time performing Hambone on a recording.

lyrics

I'll be turning down your blessings
turning down your curse
There's too much that won't get better
Before things get much worse
Turning up the heat
Yes I'll be turning up the dial
Maybe I'm the way God made me
But that don't make me his child
Didn't ask for this
Why'd you put me here
I'm putting god on trial

Lots of people have things worse than me
But that don't make things right
As I wander in the wilderness
Screaming deep into black night
And they say I'm to face judgement
When I've walked my final mile
How could I deserve such scrutiny
With a life that's just a pile
Didn't ask for this
Why'd you put me here
I'm putting god on trial

I'm told rebellion angers him
Mine is not to question Him
Fear of judgement I'm to bear
Then show yourself, come anywhere
any time
that you may
too often choke down what I must say

I've been beaten down by time and trouble
In this pointless life
I been told to take too much on faith
Like a sad submissive wife
If it's wrath that's coming my way
Let Him hear me and be riled
I'm the one who must face judgement
When I walk my final mile
Didn't ask for this
Why'd you put me here
I'm putting god on trial

Well they say that God tests everyone
Not more than they can bear
I been bearing tests so long I can't find
Any measure fair
Maybe secretly he loves defiance
And it makes Him smile
Maybe when I stand he loves me
Though I stand to curse Him vile
Didn't ask for this
Why'd you put me here
I'm putting god on trial

I'm told rebellion angers him
Mine is not to question Him
Fear of judgement I'm to bear
Then show yourself, come anywhere
any time
that you may
too often choke down what I must say
