Under the trees
It's a hollow kind of holy
God hates me like he knows me
But he doesn't know us
Come under the trees they'll hide us
And no one has to find us
But they burnt our forest down
And I know you're scared to drown
But the forest is inside us
I know my desperate kindness
Won't lift you to the lightness
Won't lift you to the light
Mama, what is wrong with me
I'm not what you want me to be
Got a one way ticket to a bad place
There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying
Away
But what if
I was made this way
You wake up from a nightmare
I tell u dear I'm right there
You say that's the problem
We are the fallen
My hands woven in your hair
When we didn't have to share
But our scripture turned so bare
In the light
Mama, what is wrong with me
I'm not what you want me to be
Got a one way ticket to a bad place
There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying
Away
But what if
I was made this way
Shamefaced guilt ridden
I stay hidden and
You're somebody different
But you are out there living
Darkness is a grace
Knew it from the first taste
That this is right
But it's ruining my life
Mama, what is wrong with me
I'm not what you want me to be
Got a one way ticket to a bad place
There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying
Away
But what if
I was made this way
God hates me like he knows me
But he doesn't know us
Come under the trees they'll hide us
And no one has to find us
But they burnt our forest down
And I know you're scared to drown
But the forest is inside us
I know my desperate kindness
Won't lift you to the lightness
Won't lift you to the light
Mama, what is wrong with me
I'm not what you want me to be
Got a one way ticket to a bad place
There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying
Away
But what if
I was made this way
You wake up from a nightmare
I tell u dear I'm right there
You say that's the problem
We are the fallen
My hands woven in your hair
When we didn't have to share
But our scripture turned so bare
In the light
Mama, what is wrong with me
I'm not what you want me to be
Got a one way ticket to a bad place
There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying

But what if

Shamefaced guilt ridden

There's shame all over my stupid face
There's a book that you love more than me
It's more than allegory
See me praying
And staying
Away
But what if
I was made this way
