lyrics

Monday I'd rejoice in the glow of Christ

Tuesday I'd proclaim that it was all lies

Then right back to my religious self

I was sure of nothing and wanted help

I first heard that doubt like an annoying bell

I believed because I was scared of Hell

Yeah I had no depth of commitment

Followed Christ to avoid the punishment

So I changed my veil, I had a spiritual schism

Dabbled in the church of atheism

Tried to rid myself of all that I could

From the Sunday school lessons of my childhood

But something I noticed internally

Like I didn't believe in God but God believe in me

Was this a feeling from the divine

Or something I made up in my mind?



I've got a grief that resists but catches me

I've got a grief that resists but catches me

I try to flee yet it chases happily

I've got a grief that resists but catches me



Don't you find it so frustrating

That you can really make the Bible say anything?

You can do what you want if you quote the right verse

From making fun of someone to putting them in a Hearse

I'm not saying that the book contains no truth

But we need to realize that we pick and choose

To fit God into our personal box

Maybe the point of it all is the paradox

It wasn't the Lord that disgusted me

It was my fellow followers hypocrisy

And I say that knowing 100%

I'm referring to myself as well as them

Cause I'll quickly bark out rules and laws

Forgetting I can't listen with my moving jaw

And the Bible states it quite clearly

That those who thought that way are called "Pharisees"



Now I'm not sure of the title I hold

I'd rather not have one if I can be so bold

The one thing I feel I can sink my teeth

Into is a love that forgives my enemies

And I know I'll fail with the bar so high

But something inside me compels me to try

You may call me a heretic

You can't spell that word without "eric"

Admittedly I'm scared, skiddish like a vapor

To put these thoughts down onto this paper

What if I'm disowned by my family

When I claim that "if there's a Hell, it's probably empty"?

For some it's easy just to give it up

But I'll probably always drink right from that cup

It's a foggy mess still around my head

I'm sure I'll figure it out though when I'm dead
