Too loud…
Too loud to—

It’s too loud to pray in here
Bass shake the walls, I can’t hear You clear
Lights flash red like judgment day
I try to talk but it’s too loud to pray
Too loud to pray (too loud)
Too loud to change
Hands to my face —
But it’s too loud to pray

Speakers bleeding through the drywall seams
Every kick drum knocking loose my peace
I said I’d chill, but the night got long
Neon scripture in a pop-up song

Phone on 2%, heart on tilt
Drown conviction in a plastic guilt
Bartender laughs when I say “one more”
I been here before… I been here before

Cross on my neck but it swing with the beat
Every drop make it harder to think
I know that voice — it don’t yell, it waits
But patience sound different at 1:08

I know You’re near
I feel that pull
But temptation loud
And my will ain’t full

It’s too loud to pray in here
Bass shake the walls, I can’t hear You clear
Lights flash red like judgment day
I try to talk but it’s too loud to pray
Too loud to pray (too loud)
Too loud to change
Hands to my face —
But it’s too loud to pray

Shot glass shimmer like stained glass cracks
Truth get blurry when the smoke roll back
Told myself “leave” when the hook came in
But the hook sound good and it drown that hymn

Mama text, “You safe tonight?”
I type “yeah” with a guilty swipe
Thumb hover over a different thread
Words I shouldn’t have read… but I read

Bathroom mirror, fluorescent glare
Say a quick line like You still there?
Water on my face, I stare too long
Know what’s right — still choose what’s wrong

If I step outside… would I hear You then?
If I kill the noise… would it start again?
One deep breath —
Crowd still screams inside my head

It’s too loud to pray in here
But I hear You clear when the drop disappear
Lights flash red — then fade to gray
I say Your name — and the noise give way
Too loud to pray (not now)
Not loud enough to change
Hands still raised —
But it’s too loud to pray

Turn it down.
