lyrics

I hate god ‘cause they tell me he loves me.
I don’t trust their scriptures, no I don’t trust you, ‘cause I can’t believe it’s true.
‘cause when my Dad says he loves me, he doesn’t mean it.

I take a stranger’s hand, the best that I get.
I face my obliteration, I haven’t died yet.
I drown myself with sex, I live to forget.

Angry words from my Daddy’s lips, “If only you were like the other boys.
A better son, a proper son, I wouldn’t have to punish you.”
Then I’m thrown against the wall; seraphim spit “he loves you” but I know he doesn’t mean it.

I take this strange man’s hand, the best that I get.
I accept my subjugation, I haven’t died yet.
I drown to lose myself, I feel no regret.

I reject god ‘cause they say he will save me.
I can’t touch him like the toys on my bed, use your magic to save me!
Then he smacks me ‘cross the face; ears ringin’, angels singin’ “he loves you” but I know he doesn’t mean it.

I take this strange man’s love, the best that I get.
I provide no vindication, I feel no regret.
I drown to forget, how could I please him anyway?
