Erin Lecount 808 Hymn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, I used to think
The moon was following me home
But now I drink, dance in the street
I know I've never been more wrong
Now I'm grown, I've come to know
Every girl's out here on her own
The faces of god, they never showed

[Refrain]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh (Oh-oh), ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
The stars and the gods, they've come to watch
Me stumbling home in the silver dark
I've been praying to the constellations
Turns out they were all just satellite stations
Now I'm grown, I've come to know
Every blame and every fault
So I do what I want, I wear those clothes

[Refrain]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh (Oh-oh), ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Can you tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in?
Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists
It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn
And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness
The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress
And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this

[Verse 3]
When I was a kid, I used to think
The moon was following me home
With shoes in hand, I hear the marching band Playing their song for my untimely end
Now I'm grown, I should know
I should know, I should know
I should know, I should know
I should know

[Pre-Chorus]
There's humming in the air, the streetlights are dimming
It's the dark before dawn when the birds start singing
It's praying you can make it for just five more minutes
God, it's quiet, and it's violent, and it's everywhere I go
It's the sweat in my palms when I'm praying to the god
"I promise I'll believe, if you could just get me home"

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in
Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists
It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn
And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness
The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress
And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this
Can you tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in?
Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists
It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn
And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness
The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress
And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this
