"there is no god"
the words that burn you
free me
I answer the questions
That you're too scared to ask
You've lost your grip
I caught on too quick

Maybe if you'd
Pushed harder
Forced me through the door
Made me accept his blood
I would believe

If I had been Baptized
Read the bible
Never listened to rock music
Maybe then
I would wear dresses
Own a cross on a chain
Have faith in the unseen
Understand
That the Father says
I'm going to Hell now

Maybe if you had been
A good Christian mother
And showed loyalty to your family
I wouldn't have shaved my head
Pierced my eyebrow
Or been expelled from school

I could have been
Everything you wanted to say
God wanted for me
And I wouldn't
Be standing here tonight

Maybe if you'd told me
Jesus loved me
Just one more time
I wouldn't have picked up this knife
Wouldn't be bleeding
On your carpet
Wouldn't have let you down again

Maybe it would have
Made him real
And he could have
Been here to save me
Tonight
When nothing else can
