Complexion

Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Betrayed by faith that I dared to question
A hive mind of zealots and jealousy
Striking me down just for being me

Intolerance breaks down the cracks between your spine
Failure to read in between the lines
Blessed be the wrong and curse those who defame
Just face it I'm far too damaged to save

No afterlife would want my broken mind
So just give me a reason to stay alive
It's difficult to believe in the righteous
When we've suffered too much to even stop the violence

So go ahead and take my name in vain
Your book out of context won't change my disdain
My mind overturns and I'm losing my grasp
I'm slipping away and I'm fading too fast

Your god complex is nothing but a scam
Remember that I think therefore I am
I don't give a fuck about your damn beliefs
If there is a god, he's failed to see

You give your beliefs a bad reputation
Increasing stigma from nation to nation
Rationality doesn't work with your mark
Are you satisfied with being left in the dark?

Drag me down to my breaking point
I will never bow down to the prophets you anoint
I will never follow your spiteful ways
I'll follow myself till the end of days

Betrayed by the one who claims forgive and forget
I can't forgive myself with this much regret
My sins have overtaken me, I'm a lost cause
Now watch as I take my final falls

As I fall to my knees
Every breath I take is another wasted
Agony lingering
Everything that I touch is violated
It's all a fantasy
What would you do if your life was a lie
Emptiness for all to see
This is where I die

Do you know how it feels
To be completely fucking numb in your goddamn mind
I can't see straight anymore all I see is blindness and genocide
Your thoughts and prayers don't do jack shit for those who feel dead inside
No matter how loud I cry I always feel denied

You wouldn't even bother to pray for me

Hypocrisy infects your faith
Blinded by your own hate
Take my life and burn it down
Discriminatory spiteful sound

Drag me down to my breaking point
I will never bow down to the prophets you anoint
I will never follow your spiteful ways
I'll follow myself till the end of days

Betrayed by the one who claims forgive and forget
I can't forgive myself with this much regret
My sins have overtaken me, I'm a lost cause
Now watch as I take my final falls
