lyrics

i’m preaching to a choir singing far too loud to hear
the voice of reason laughing from the mouths of all their peers
blind faith produced without reason, unreasonable fear
consumes free speech; i haven’t heard a word in many years

you haven’t taught me anything except how to lose all hope
in someone opening their mind when their eyes and ears are closed
to everyone’s deaf lectures being forced into our throats
i haven’t learned about your love, i learned to lock my doors
believe me, faith in hate can’t move a mountain, stop throwing sticks and stones

so drill a hole into my skull to make sure i can feel
the pain that comes with thinking that your fantasy’s not real
you say that i’m a sinner, but there’s always time to heal
your ignorance has doomed us all

no one gets into heaven until they open up their eyes
there are bigger problems here; i won’t wait until my afterlife
to see if where i am needs any help along the way
when my work here is done, i won’t need to extend my stay
the ideals you wrote in store are benevolent and justified
i’ve felt God’s love before, we just don’t see through the same eyes
let’s separate the church and state from our church and state of mind
