Lies

Tell me how am I supposed to know the truth
When all you ever told me were lies
I'm just tryna heal from the abuse
PTSD from old church pews
Still fighting my demons and tryna cut ties
From all the darkness I once thought was light

I want to trust again
I want to have a friend
But if I tell the truth, I'll stand condemned

So take it or leave it
The church cried wolf, and I didn't see it
Say what you want to now
I won't believe it
Your smoke screen Jesus
Can't hide the fucking pieces
Of all the broken people
Who fought a war for narcissists
In the name of religion
We gave our lives in a fight for faith
All to find out it was only fake

Yeah it's all fake

I heard through the grape vine that I wasn't enough
Guess it's a good thing I don't give a fuck
'Bout what you think, 'bout what you say
'Bout how you pass the blame for your mistakes
I'm not crying, I'm just walking in the rain
Looking for something, anything to ease the pain

I want to trust again
I want to have a friend
But if I tell the truth, I stand condemned

So take it or leave it
The church cried wolf, and I didn't see it
Say what you want to now
I won't believe it
Your smoke screen Jesus
Can't hide the fucking pieces
Of all the broken people
Who fought a war for narcissists
In the name of religion
We gave our lives in a fight for faith
All to find out it was only fake
