lyrics

I guess I couldn't take the disapproval
But I tried to understand the closed, one-sided minds that always
Try to force feed all their beliefs on to those who seem to be just fine
And they think they know exactly what I need

I am twice the man I was when I believed it
Things change. That's what happened when I learned to think for myself
And I won't try to stop them.
They have something to put hope in
But I don't fucking need it
At least for now I'm fine where I am

(If Christ himself was to walk to earth, and to claim headship, without a doubt the pope would crucify him again)

(Fronz) Hell yeah
I'm doing just fine, I'm just taking my time
Making progress, using everything I have in my mind
You can follow your religion and stay in line
But I'm a rebel and I'm happy and I'm doing alright

Redemption is a virtue
But it's one that I've never had
So I've closed that book and I'm never going back
And I won't be scared
'Cause I'm proud of who I am and who I've become

(Max Stringer) A wise man once said always collect all your debts

And I'm never going back
Not not, not ever

And if he's really there, I think that God would understand
He's been doing this for years now
He's probably quite a decent man
I know he's been through this already
Reaching out to hands not there
He knows some people just aren't ready
And some have already escaped
So I'm walking to a chapel just to see if things might change
I will ask him for forgiveness for things I still do every day
An old man stops me in my tracks
Says, "Son I've seen your type before. You are young. You have everything, and still you're wanting more. I had two children and a wife, and a big house on a hill. I lost everything in a fire. Someday you might know how it feels to have to come here every day to get on your knees and pray just to feel a bit more confident that you might see them again. My hands are not that clean. I've picked up a lot of dirt. And if I were to die right now, I'd probably get my just deserve. But I miss my family, and I know they're not in hell. So I ask god every day just for some guidance and some help."

Then he looked me in the eyes and said, "saviors are for those who can't save themselves".
