Bethlehem

The first song I learned spoke of Bethlehem
So is that prophecy, or is that brainwashing?
'Cause no one ever pitched the Greek Gods
And I don't know why not
I feel like Athena'd understand me

But my chips have fallen
My Messiah came calling
But what if he'd not?
Would my soul just rot?

Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall, I wanna be someone that you'd call

My Dad's never cursed in his life
I asked if he smoked he said, "twice"
Well by that standard I'm a God damn failure
I passed blunts the day I married my wife

But I'm a child of God, just in case you forgot
And you cast me out every single chance that you got
And that's your loss not mine, I'll be better than fine
You just missed your shot to meet the unholy divine

I'm sayin' fuck a savior and if She can't take it then she's small
I'm gonna ask a lot of questions because I'm giving this my all
You know the people preaching now well they've been putting us through shit
And if you don't sanction that then why are you rewarding it?

You know the mission trips are scams, they do more harm than good
We got fame hungry pastors making bank in Hollywood
I'm more confused than I've been and I don't think this will pass
And I'm saying your name when I think the plane will crash

Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall, I wanna be someone that you'd call

Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall, I wanna be someone that you'd call
