We said the same thing.

lyrics
I watch the Sunday children roll into church
With their parents’ devotions well rehearsed
While I roll down the street,
Joined by my own family
With a longing to meet god
And understand what he did
Classically conditioned
To always call god “Him”
But I sang hymns to the pillory
And never found hope
I had friend with hearts of lead
While the devil sent demons to dance in my head
I had friends whose veins flowed red
And I never prayed to god at the side of my bed
*the only reason that I’ll get into heaven*
*Is because god doesn’t want me breathing*
*I’m not a saline communion In the eyes of the lord*
*Im the echoing absence Hidden under your floorboards*
*From crossing the wires to create fault in my brain*
*You keep my breath flowing in down pouring rain*
*You keep my breath flowing in down pouring rain*
