about

Unholy Power is about finding a deeper and more authentic power within myself by embracing chaos and mortality over depending on the stability and invincibility of being close with an all-knowing deity.

Unholy Power is about shedding my religious skin, and with that losing what used to be my moral guide and 24 hour therapist.

It's about realizing that the whole time I was bringing my burdens to the Lord, what I was actually doing was praying to myself... critically analyzing my way through issues, manifesting healing, and letting go of what I can't control.

lyrics

Half the time I don’t know if I’m happy
Other times, I don’t feel a thing
And I wonder if there’s a reason
I really hope it means something

I used to pray to God when I felt lonely
I swear I could tell him anything
It’s hard to look and see the changes
Of who I am and who I’ve been

All my friends will say that I am tired
But the truth is I’ve been tired my whole life
Looking endlessly for answers
Proving myself wrong and right

Is there a point in trying so hard?
I’m tugging at the roots of my tired hair
Tighten my cling on this old dream
But I don’t have a clue what’s happening

I used to think that I was something special
And I used my charm like some unholy power
But now I see I’m made of human
And now I am stronger than before

There is a point in trying so hard!
I focus on the reasons why I care
Loosen my grip on this old dream
I don’t always need to know what’s happening
