Faith was never in question for me
Your beliefs were not the ones I stood behind
My faith was my own to find
Your words aren’t the ones I cherish now
With dogma and rhetoric
They move quickly to hasten
The defeat of the soul
Different faces different masks put on to sway the masses
Although your face changed we always recognized you
Although your face has changed
We always recognized you (recognized you)
You have nothing to be proud of here
Chasing my values, my thoughts my expressions
I’ve come to know the enemy within the God you follow
Our lives are all profound we don’t need you or your book to tell us why
We don’t need your fucking proof
If this is fate I’m sure to fight it
If this is faith I’m sure I’ve lost it
All I ask is that we have faith in ourselves
In a world of deceivers
We aren’t lost
We are not lost
So count it down
But never count me out
This could have been our greatest triumph (greatest discovery)
A single, coherent story
Meant to inspire love and acceptance across all borders
Became a weapon to use
Against each other
A misrepresented rally cry
To bring distance, and subjugation of difference
Our greatest source of shame
I am filled with embarrassment in your name
