The child inside has died
Murdered by all of your lies
And though I remain playing this game
I am festering with flies
I am festering with flies
I am festering with

Take
Take my
Take my scars away
Take my scars away

Don't think I'll wake today
I'm tired of being used this way
You tainted this spring then let it go
Now I'll show what you bestowed
You asked me to turn my cheek
Lower my gaze and never speak
You stripped away my sanctity
God has stopped speaking to me

And I don't think that you can love me
And I don't think that I can love me
And now you hate me because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I will not

Kneel, before your cross
So write me off as a fucking loss
Drive you nails through my wrists
And find that I just don't give a shit
My faith is gone, my anger in place
I won't be done till it's effaced
Murdering your indoctrination
Venomous vocal, no hesitation

And I don't think that you can love me
And I don't think that I can love me
And now you hate me because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I can not

Kneel before this god
You have painted for me
Your god does not speak to me

Take
Take my
Take my scars away
Take my scars away

Armed me for your holy war
Tossed me aside like a bleeding whore
I stood in line, read the lies
Scripture through a needles' eyes
Valued more than human life
Tasted fruit, claimed a wife
Took blame for impregnation
My Book of Revelation

And I don t think that you can love me
And I don t think that I can love me
And now you hate me because I have no knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I have not knelt
Because I can not
I think God has stopped speaking
