If you haven't noticed, Christians are widely known for specializing in hypocrisy and apathy. I'm most definitely guilty of this. And I'm pretty sure at one point you were, too. The whole routine of getting the summer camp high and checking in for the weekly church fill we have mastered has led us to live a life that is unrepentant and really not at all different from that of an unbeliever.
I'm not too fond of posting up lyrics, but I feel compelled to. It's out of my hands, really. I know it's really tedious to look through every single verse, but it's worth it.
Whether you're a (used-to-be) fan or not, Relient K addresses this issue perfectly. It's funny 'cause I wasn't even listening to this song when I was thinking about it...
THIS WEEK THE TREND
And this week the trend
was to not wake up till 3pm
I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend
and slept away the rest of them
And this week the trend
was to crash and burn and then return again
to practice the life that I pretend
provides enough to get me through the weekend
So I say
get me a solution
and watch me run with it
And then you gave
you gave me a solution
what have I done with it?
'Cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out
way back then
and now it's this minute, this hour, this day
And this week the trend
was to backstab every single one of my friends
and leave a voicemail message trying to make amends
all the while hoping things work out in the end
And this week the trend
was to borrow all the strength that you could lend
to keep my head above the water and not descend
back to where I said I'd never go again
And I just want to get mugged at knifepoint
to get cut enough to wake me up
cause I know that I don't want to die
sitting around watching my life go by
And what we take from this is what we'll get and we haven't quite figured it out just yet
because all of us are all too stuck
strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up
stuck watching our lives blow up
Yes, I still listen to ALL of their albums. Am I ashamed? NOPE.
