Cheaper Kind (Official Music Video)

"Cheaper Kind" by Leah Lawson from the forthcoming LP "Flood House," out September 16, 2022

Lyrics:
I was baptized in a lake
Before I had the chance to say
A single dirty word out loud
Growing up I was taught
My name meant faithful
but i’m not
I looked it up, it hardly means a thing at all

I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build but now it’s gone
Couldn’t live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
The cheaper kind

You wouldn’t know it by my face
But I have felt the hands of grace
And I have loved just like a child
Ever since I heard that song
I tried to write it for my own,
But every note I sang was wrong

I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build but now it’s gone
Couldn’t live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
The cheaper kind

I have crumbled like a home
Took years to build but now it’s gone
Couldn’t live on bread or promises alone
Used to drink the holy wine
Now I'm dependent on the cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
The cheaper kind
