Dizmas Album: On A Search In America Track: Controversy
Controversy Lyrics
He's in a city not too far away And many go to see him Confess! Confess, my people cry But they do not see the still frame in my mind
And I know, I know He loves me still And I know, I know He loves me still But I can see the controversy I can see the controversy
I can see the controversy! I can see it in this I can see the controversy! I can see it in this
And I will decrease so you can increase
Yeah, let's get this started
I've got a message inside me And I cannot withhold it I plead and cry, these people die And they still do not see the spear in his side
I would wish that you could see me In this controversy
Song Description: "The inspiration came one day when doing devotions in the Bible. One story I never paid attention to was when Jesus came to town not too far from where John the Baptist was ministering. Jesus started to baptize in the city and everyone would go to John with what I sensed was a vibe of "hey, that guy's stealing your job!" But instead of getting defensive, John looks up with humility because he's more worried about living out his faith in front of people than explaining why Jesus seems to be moving in on his turf." - Zach Zegan (Dizmas)
"Josh was jamming to the verse with the riff and I was messing around with the beat-the tom and snare- kind of just fleshing out the original idea. It took many months to get where it's at since we were writing it mostly on tour. Around that time we were listening a lot to Prince's latest record and Maroon Five, so I'd say it has a pretty intricate and eclectic mix." - Clayton Hunt (Dizmas)
