Come down to the service that saves all our souls
Burn up the contingent that wont believe in you

Everything minus the nothing at all
Aching and rabid and breaking the dog
See you on Sunday your good for the week
(This is your notice served)
Tasting the envy and tasting the sores
Feeling the sickness now drink for the Lord
Drink for a savior that puts you to sleep
(Youll eat what youve been served)

You were never there
You were never there when I was falling

Come down off your pulpit and purify yourself
Sold off your soul for your outer wealth

Given the freedom to swallow the lie
Given the reason to lay down and die
This is the answer its written in blood
(You get what you deserve)
How many shovels to dig all the graves
How many shackles for all of the slaves
How many reasons for you to be saved
(These are you lessons learned)

You were never there
You were never there when I was calling you

Caught inside a story of submission (But I dont believe this)
Force fed, misled, thrown into confusion (And you cant deny this)
Bound, Bound, Look at me now
Just look at the lies
Just look at me now

Worship, and bleed for me now (would you?)
Bleed for me now (on your knees)

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
