Faith in Fiction

When I was young, I put my faith in the fiction
Until I read the words and their contradictions
But I still agree that man is dark and corrupted
So I won't bow to your belief when he's touched it

And you can judge me all you want
From the comfort of your lies
Give your soul to printed words
That are constantly revised
But I can't bring myself to do the same
Burn or be a slave
I guess I'm going down a road that ends in flames

And I'll keep my life for myself and the people that I love
Because I know the chance of losing everything when my time's up
No, I won't devote myself to the unknown
I can't fake a love for things that never show

I won't devote myself to the unknown
Can't fake my love for things that never show
And I don't need an organized belief
Because everyone's as lost as me

I'll take my chances and make my own decisions
Commit my life to all the dreams I envision
And you will stand aside as your god forbids it
Just hoping that you're right when all this has ended

And you can judge me all you want
From the comfort of your lies
Give your soul to printed words
That are constantly revised
But I can't bring myself to do the same
Burn or be a slave
I guess I'm going down a road that ends in flames

And I'll keep my life for myself and the people that I love
Because I know the chance of losing everything when my time's up
No, I won't devote myself to the unknown
I can't fake a love for things that never show
