They say I'm
Six feet from the precipice
And only by the whims of an unseen hand
Have I not descended
To the depths where Asamov and Carlin
Trade stories with the damned
Seems a bit dire
To be courting hellfire
Edwards damning me to the pit
I'll curse God for the hell of it
So hit ignition
Burn me down
Lightning shot from my hometown
I'm a monster was a pastor's kid
Broke out from the closet where your demons hid
I'm a fucked up abomination
Queer poet
In a Christian nation
I'm everything that will damn my soul
So with a smile on my face
I'm digging my hole
Keep digging
Keep digging
Digging my hole
Keep digging
Keep digging
I suppose a globally accepted extremist conditioning faith
Is better than being forced to tattoo religious symbols on my face
But I can't shake the religious anxiety that was baked into my bones
By the fire spat from the forked tongue evangelist in our home
What do you do when you are told every choice has to be for God
That every move you make has been dictated, every deviation flawed
That any inkling of free thought is just satan's mirage
When I stepped outside the church I saw the monster in the facade
So call it devilish temptation pulling me from this religious condemnation
Is it impending doom or glorious transformation
Cause I'm breaking these chains feeling scandalous liberation
Cause freedom is worth this potential damnation
That's the story that I've heard since birth
Servant to the lord in fear of the hearse
Beholden to a theist's impression the words
In this misogynistic, homophobic baptist church
Putting theories down like they're etched in stone
2000 year old hate in the people's homes
No tears were shed for those that they hurt
In this misogynistic, homophobic baptist church
So hit ignition
Burn me down
Lightning shot from my hometown
I'm a monster was a pastor's kid
Broke out from the closet where your demons hid
I'm a fucked up abomination
A queer poet
In a Christian nation
Everything that will damn my soul
So with a smile on my face
I'm digging my hole
Keep digging
Keep digging
Digging my hole
Keep digging
Keep digging
