You left it all behind Then you watched Left Behind And it scared you You thought you’d die Holy Ghost and March of Dimes I don’t support the sins I hide Still I receive from Him The things I’m needing Yeah, give me something now Give me something now

Thou Art 01:41
3.
Carry me Down by the shore Make sure that I’m warm Make sure that I’m whole The paint all dried Inside your mind This is not my statue To build inside of you It’s a cave where you're lost I’ll help you find the light In the cave where you're lost It's always night It’s a cave where you're lost I’ll help you find the light In the cave where you're lost It’s always night I honestly never wished for a million dollars I honestly never had my heart ripped out before I truthfully never wanted to be alone forever I honestly never thought God wasn’t there for us all It’s a cave where you're lost I’ll help you find the light In the cave where you're lost It’s always night It’s a cave where you're lost I’ll help you find the light In the cave where you're lost It’s always night

Mind Doorway 03:46
I was anointed When God pointed at me I was lifted And taken back into the sea All your friends tell you you’re wasting all your time But when the Lord speaks to you It makes you feel divine They don’t see the right way, no They don’t see the doorway Inside your mind You’ve gotta give it all Just to get to back again You’ve gotta give it all You’re 27 I was chosen When the angels threw roses at me I was lifted And taken back into the sea All your friends tell you you’re wasting all your time But when the Lord speaks to you It makes you feel divine They don’t see the right way, no They don’t see the doorway Inside your mind You’ve gotta give it all Just to get to back again You’ve gotta give it all You’re 27

Believe in miracles And angels in the air Believe in your care And the heart that you restart Believe in healing I don’t know anyone I don’t know anyone I don’t know anyone I don’t know anyone I don’t know anyone

The 101 03:43
I had a long drive back down To see the rooftop from the ground I don’t like it when you jump alone I was there beside the loaded gun Holding on to Jesus’ Son In my hand when you said you might read it Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101 Everybody wants to have someone Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101 Everybody wants to be someone I don’t want to be following the crowd Down at the golden lake Honey, for goodness sake I wasn’t there to make you look good Holding onto the good book In my hand when you said you might read it Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101 Everybody wants to have someone Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101 Everybody wants to be someone Drive with me Take a tape and play it all the way through Hold my hand While I sing it back to you Drive with me Take a tape and play it all the way through Hold my hand I’ll sing it back to you
7.
Holy Ghost 03:23
You saw my eyes looking out for You The fortress is hard to get through to get through You saw my eyes looking out for You You carried me up so high, so high You saw my eyes looking out for You I never thought I’d make it out alive I went AWOL With the Holy Ghost I want it all I went AWOL I went AWOL With my hope, you know I want it all I went AWOL Super lost It was an art I wasn’t there I was far apart I’m the longing one you saved It’s the same in your grace Never change You never change I went AWOL With the Holy Ghost I want it all I went AWOL I went AWOL With my hope, you know I want it all I went AWOL
8.
For years and years I've tried I've loved and lost and lied I saw a girl ride a horse through my heart I came home and fell apart For years and years I've tried I've loved and lost and lied I saw a girl ride a horse through my heart I came home and fell apart
9.
All I've ever had was all arranged If it wasn't for God it'd all be changed I've never heard your voice without a tune Never held your hand without the moon I look out past the fires on the hill I look out past the water flooding still I can't look past the scars upon my heart It's not your fault, this is our brand new start This is our start

False Alarm 03:04
11.
Ad Librum 02:53
Say a prayer for us Use words that you trust Say it fast or say it slow  Just say it and go Say a prayer for us Use words that you trust Say it fast or say it slow  I wanna feel like a big deal I wanna know it's something real I wanna feel like a big deal I wanna know I’m something real I want to know everything I need to know everything  I've never lost you before And I’ll never lose you at all I've never lost you before You’re not a voice or keys I love it when you lose to me I love it when you lose to me I’m sorry, baby, please I wanna feel like a big deal I wanna know it's something real I wanna feel like big deal I wanna know I’m something real I wanna know everything I need to know everything

about

Written and recorded in 2018-2019 and originally intended to be released under the name GOSPELS, Capital Unknowns members Erik David Hidde and Christopher Morin enlisted Ace Enders (of The Early November) as their band coach. Shortly after writing and recording this album they disbanded and ‘This Is Not My Book To Write’ was shelved for years.

This was until Erik David Hidde finished mixing and mastering the album and self-released it under the Capital Unknowns name to finalize their trilogy of albums. Moving from the acoustic-rock of 2015's ‘Two Lions’ inspired by Nick Drake, to the emo post-rock of 2018's ‘In God We Trust’, and eventually the electronic indie-rock of 2023's ‘This Is Not My Book To Write’.
