All I Want

By Nathan Payne | pablosmoglives | 19 Jan 2026


As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar
upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.”
Proverbs 25:20

 

If "gospel" means "good news," what is gospel music, when the devil turns your joy into a death trip?

Sometimes, it's just remembering that the world is over, for today.

Which makes this a gospel song in my book.

Thanks for listening.

All I Want

It feels so good to be free
sometimes I wish I was dead
but I know the sun will shine
for a thousand years

I don't wanna live
with both feet on the ground
I don't wanna die
in this town

All alone again
like I always knew I'd be
feels like I'm going home
every time I leave

I don't wanna live
if they won't let me be myself
they make me want to die
be someone else

All I want
is to get out of here

The world is over
for today
