Sunday Best

The sun is rising

Barely been in bed an hour

There’s certain nights a shower can’t wash away

Morning's quiet

Maybe that’s how I should be

No one wants to hear from me

Dab of perfume, kill the smoke

Deflecting with a little joke

Hide the wine stain with your grandma's broach

Never let 'em see you stress

Firm Foundation gives you rest

No one’ll know you’re broken

If you’re in your Sunday best

Scared to answer

Even if you need the prayer

The healing ain’t worth all of their stares

If I’m honest

This house hasn't felt like home

But a back row pew alone still calls me in

Dab of perfume, kill the smoke

Deflecting with a little joke

Wash your mouth out with ur momma's soap

Never let 'em see you stress

Firm Foundation gives you rest

No one’ll know you’re broken

If you’re in your Sunday best

Am I preaching to a choir of people just like me who even at our best have rips in our seams?

Dab of perfume, kill the smoke

Deflecting with a little joke

Bow your head even if it’s just for show

Never let 'em see you stress

Firm Foundation gives you rest

No one’ll know you’re broken

If you’re in your Sunday best
