lyrics

(Religious leaders love to work their way into the foreground of thought,
gentle manipulations for the belief system that you aren’t good enough to stand on your own, always pushing you to regret the things you have and treasure all the things you hate. A progressive shame aged like wine for you to take off the shelf and consume at their command, sent around like communion.)

(The bad series of routines that lead to nothing I care about continue consuming me as I search for love in the light of god. I am continually told that I will not be enough no matter the lengths I go to to try but am told I’m simultaneously too much for this almighty figure. The end of this cycle feeds right back into the beginning of this birth that feels so wrong to possess.)

disgusting presences staking their claim over the public conscience
the tendrils of influence spreading further by the day as you pray for some difference
the lined pockets of deceptive creatures circling neighborhoods of those without hope
crawling back to the gutters after a long day of peddling the same trope

blindsiding the weak with poison thought
all desperate and in need of a path to walk
now volunteering for goodie points with god
and praying every day for the pardon aught

your god’s not
coming here for you
cowardice
is all that they’re selling to you

a cesspool of narcissistic predators
consuming the flesh and wealth of underlings
that they believe to owe them things for
the infected implant of their well-being

(I’m standing here looking for the loopholes
In the speech your scripture’s selling to me
I’m standing here looking for the loopholes
In the speech your scripture’s selling)

it’s a lie they raised on their farms
then slaughtered to feed all the masses
preciously picked with investor’s pride
but personally

I cannot wait to go to hell
to finally get some reprieve
from the religious pigs and
bleeding-to-death machine

I cannot wait to go to hell
so I may finally get release
from stupid meaningless degrees of
fellowshiply fodder speech

I cannot wait to go to hell
to finally get a fucking piece
of the messy jigsawed answers,
who
calls
the
shots

I cannot wait to go to hell
to spit in the face of god
on my way falling to the depths,
ma-
king
my
peace

if your god is out there he’s a fucking sadist
a manipulator with a new glowing facelift
dog eat dog and brother clubbing brother
in the name of a holy awful motherfucker

one of the biggest tragedies in history was the fellowship coming before the wire hanger
