lyrics

Do you remember me? Called by your name, I gave you everything I had. You were my saving grace, but you abandoned me. One foot in the grave, I'll spend the rest of my existence in this hell you made.

Gave you a life, and all I got was a death bed.
There's nothing more to me.
It's a beautiful thought, but I don't think it holds weight.
Swing low, send me home to the pearly gates.

But it’s just another cult as I keep hoping things change,
embrace the same noose and continue to hang.
God is real, but he is just a machine,
a means of keeping me people trapped inside a certain belief.

So make the best of the foot on the back of my neck. It never ends, it just is what it is.
With a currency like sin, we all bleed to give our share.
It’s the guilt that keeps me here.
It’s your hell that keeps me scared.

And if God should let me go, would the earth not bear me a single moment?
Are the faults that you gave me worthy of burning in hell when I really did try to find you?
And I’d take it all back still if you ever said something, just a sign that you’re real.

And sometimes I still think back on what I knew as fact back then.
At second glance, it makes no sense, but I almost miss, the ignorance is bliss.

I wish you existed. I wish the world that I saw wasn’t broken and on its knees.
Crippled by god and the American dream.

It's all bought, sold, still in that same hole. Broken, pathetic, I can’t stand on my own.
You are the good shepherd, but you break my bones.
The Prodigal Son cause I’ve got nowhere to go.

Do you remember me? Called by your name, I gave you everything I had.
You were my saving grace, but you abandoned me. One foot in the grave,
I'll spend the rest of my existence in this hell you made.
You are God, and I am broken.
