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
