I was a young kid
And turned off God
Scared of God
Scared of the preachers
And scumbag priests
Offering pieces
Of the body of Jesus
How he looked at me
Like a piece of meat
Father John
Have I done something wrong
Where’s Adam?
Adam is lost
In the back of the cathedral
How long’s it been
Since your last confession
We were boxed in
Smell of a coffin
Seeking forgiveness
Said I was gay
Could God take that away
Then I went deeper
And deeper
And deeper

Everything is blank and sort of numb
Getting older knowing something was wrong
Life at home
I was so fearful of
Slammed my mind against
The darkness of repression
And I went deeper
And deeper

The smell of frankincense turns my stomach
I don’t take procession
“If there is a God, he will have to beg my forgiveness”
There’s a door in my mind
A child left behind
Something bursts just outside
And he starts screaming
That sixth sense scene has always stuck with me
You know your da becomes your impression of God
I’m scared of God
Always was
I’m scared of God
Always was
I’m scared of God
Always was
I’m scared of God
Always was
I’m scared of God
Always was
I’m scared of God
I’m scared of God
I’m scared of God
