lyrics

Under the steeple we were all God's people
If we loved one another, sisters and brothers
But then the preacher told me, God loves the straight man only
Straight is the same as holy so saith the Lord

Chorus
Father could you ever love a person like me?
Or did you seal the gates above and throw out the keys
You say we are your children if we trust and believe
So God please don't forget about the children like me

While the world was sleeping I'd stay up weeping
Wondering who was the liar, my God or my desire
If straight means holy then I -- I guess I don't mind lonely
But what if we have this life only, what if I was wrong?

They say I'm ruined, but I'm only human
They say, it could be Satan, but God I'm your creation
What is and isn't sin, I'll let it go and let you in
All this time I was praying, all this time you were saying...

Come lay your burdens down on me

Gonna Be Honest, "Letters and Drinks" will make you happy, cry, and want to get up and dance. The album is put together like a story: meeting new people, leave them in a better place than you found them,and where you want them to Dance With Me. As you are trying to better yourself, tragic events put you in a rough patch where you are Six Feet Above. Through 11:11 wishes, you start to find yourself again and meet new individuals that make your Heart Smiles to take all your troubles far away. kvang

Baltimore Boulevard Deluxe LP
by Jae Jin

supported by 8 fans who also own “Lay Your Burdens Down”

Jae Jin's effort is what K-pop should be but is not - not over produced, possessed of a memorable vocal color, a good sense of narrative and flexible timing in the vocal phrases - and the postlude actually made me stop what I was doing to listen. Ouch. ronn branton
