lyrics

Maybe I’m tired of the words you said to me
Those self-serving lines and the lack of empathy
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get to me
But each day it’s a more distant memory
You’d say that I’m searing my conscience
Because I care less about the god you concocted
But the farther I run the more clear it becomes the shit you preach is more like the screech of chalkboard – I can’t believe that I fell for it – but it was that or be outcast like my brother before me so I made myself believe
And now I see that you’re holding hostage the minds of my family so maybe I’m tired of the loving conditionally coupled with the hypocritical bigotry or maybe I’m just fucking tired

I can’t sleep tonight
All this on my mind
This is the price you pay

Could it be too late?
Call me conceited but I think I’m undefeated when you play your games
You may think I’m crying but I’m really just fine when you smear my name
And of course I make mistakes and I hurt people in the present tense
So don’t pretend that a god has made you any different
The only time you attempt humility is when you duck responsibility
And blame me or others for your lack of ability to lead or let go
Or understand that happiness has many roads so
It’s not your place to impose because you think you’ve been gifted knowledge
Or that you fucking did well in college because when I see these manifestos
I’m worried you might blow because it seems less scholar and more Unabomber
And the fallout would affect my sister and brothers
That are still in the confines of your fucked up mind so forgive me for hoping
That they’re out in time before you’re done choking the life out of them and for
Someone to empower them because I’m tired of watching you devour them

I can’t sleep tonight
All this on my mind
This is the price you pay/Tired of the games you play
Could it be too late?

And after all this I would offer forgiveness if you truly believed you were wrong
That every soul has a unique and beautiful song
And to stifle that is an outrage – a dangerous mistake
That leaves sadness, confusion, and destruction in its wake
And if your god came to us to bring a sword of division
That isn’t a god I would trust or a world I would want to live in
it’s time to lift the veil of pride – put the prejudices aside - look down deep inside -
There’s so much we don’t know but I know I’m so fucking tired
