lyrics

I cheat, I steal, I lie, I want
I lust, I lust, I lust, I lust,
I judge, complain, I’ve yelled, I’ve drank
I’ve smoked, I hate, I’m ugly, I’m fake
I know, nothing, I’ve assumed, I’ve mocked
I have not forgiven, I’ve often fought
I’m far, from good, I’ve cursed, a lot
I pretend that I am, but I know that I am not

[I don’t believe you] you were born and always been inside a church home
Feeling that you deserve a lot of what you don’t deserve so
The words show that Jesus loved the type of people you ignore
He broke the laws [and on the Sabbath day] he would do it more
[I don’t believe you] you claim you suffer from an acne problem
While a billion others die from aids and from a lack of water
[I feel bad for you] Americans- we beat each other
We have too much of everything, we don’t know what it means to suffer
So leave a legacy or die anonymous?
Why forgive us of our trespasses if we’ll just climb a taller fence?
You’re too busy planning school shootings at minor colleges
You need to be original [go see your gynecologist]
Instead of growing weaker I would rather fight through all of this
And quit romancing thoughts that were only designed for arguments
Let your problems lose their grip and give your mind some oxygen
And give it time [you make take a while to cry apologies]

I sit here and don’t understand
The language you’re speaking between each other sounds like its foreign or from another land
Perhaps an interpolation of your interpretations
And energy concentrated and traces of murdered basics
Either idolizing the Bible or ignoring it biblically
But there’s never a middle ground when you try and belittle me
You’re like a wannabe terrorist 4’ 8” in the Middle East
Jesus is like a CATHOLIC PRIEST GOING ON A KILLING SPREE
And Satan’s just a cop-out [we blame everything on Satan]
“It’s not our fault” [can’t we just say that human nature is fatal?]
You’re not a good person [you’re a plagiarized publication
Of your savior, ain’t you religious gangs ever read Galatians?
You’re staying under the radar; your hatred’s wearing a mask
You’re too good for me, and [my faith apparently is an act]
So whether I’m a Christian or not [it’s really up to you]
Cause I couldn’t care less and [you’ll conclude it if you wanted to]

[We’re all equal] but that’s too bad the group of people
Who suppose to understand that just don’t think so
If you think the book of James doesn’t really pertain to you
If you were truth and I was engaged to you [I would say we’re through]
You’re faith is not considered when they know what the scripture is
Your hate is deliberate, your language is gibberish
Your fake in your appearance [what you do and say is different
They had a relationship [and the baby, it was illiterate]
I’m not worthy for church people, you’re not converting me
Becoming a member would just be confirming my certainty
I’m not being mean; I am concerned for this emergency
You heard me I ain’t murdering; I’m speaking till it hurts to breathe
The purpose of these words [I admit that I am guilty]
If I lived by the law [then the law would kill me]
I’m talking to myself and pointing my finger
I’m not approaching my past and not avoiding it either

I’ll make you mad [get you irritated] disappoint you
I don’t want your expectations of me to destroy you
Just because I’m a Christian, don’t you ever assume
me not smoking weed doesn’t mean I couldn’t if I wanted to
I don’t know a lot of truth [I’m not good] good and bad people
Don’t exist [I’m suicidal when inside a vehicle]
I do what I shouldn’t do [a lot of you wouldn’t get it]
I don’t do what I should do [I’m not afraid to admit it]
