get on your knees,

and pray for forgiveness.

i'm a bad seed,

but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

they force fed us lies and wondered why we choked.

take me to church,

so i can get on my knees,

and pray for your forgiveness.

i worship only you.

the same ones who went to church every sunday,

persecuted you every monday.

what reverence have they for you?

as far as i'm concerned, you're god.

your own flesh and blood have sinned against thee.

take me to church,

so i can confess,

with my lips and tongue,

that i worship only you.

touch me so that i may be healed.

drown me so that i may be cleansed.

punish me so that i may repent.

berate me so that i can be humbled.

my love, i confess that you are god.
