lyrics

it’s a beautiful day when i pretend
i’m going to some kind of good girl
heaven
but that’s for the believers
and not me

i shiver in my concrete drywall box
in the city called sacred
city of a king
have i gone crazy?
no, that’s just me

what’s the verdict?
let’s pretend i’m stable for one more second
i am the heretic among the sanctified
more riddled with holes than holy
i walk amid you
and you will never know
me

it’s a beautiful day when
i act like who they want me to be
but i’m too big for the box
they want to put me in
i know more than i think i know
than you think i know

i shiver in this concrete prison box
in this city made for God
city for kings to be
call me crazy
but this is all me
