For the Love of Fiction
The lies are hard to spread thin
But it's so easy to control
Weakness is your savior
But there's nothing left to save
Family tradition passed on in fear
Unconditional love for a fucking stranger?
Nails driven in me, for I have sinned
Your ambition bleeds on a cross
Security bleeds on a cross
Your hope bleeds on a cross
Your life bleeds on a cross
Nails driven in me, for I have sinned
I'd kill for nothing, you'd die for anything
Easier said than done, so easy to take the fall
Easier said than done, so easy to take the fall
A scapegoat for all your insecurities
Excuse me, a hero, a man made god
For all your insecurities
Walk that Sunday tightrope
When the safety net fails who will you follow?
Another sheep has fallen, bleed
Your choices made, with security in mind
When the safety net fails who will you follow?
Well hallelujah motherfuckers
Nails driven in me, for I have sinned
Your ambition bleeds on a cross
Security bleeds on a cross
Your hope bleeds on a cross
Your life bleeds on a cross
Nails driven in me, for I have sinned
I'd kill for nothing, you'd die for anything
A scapegoat for all your insecurities
Excuse me, a hero, a man made god
For all your insecurities
And when the last savior is destroyed
I'll dust myself off and just walk away
As you've taught me, as you've taught us all
A prayer for the dying
A prayer for you, the hopeless
A prayer for the dying
Prayer for you
The hopeless
"There is no one watching out for us.."
Walk that Sunday tightrope
When the safety net fails who will you follow?
Another sheep has fallen, bleed
Your choices made, with security in mind
When the safety net fails who will you follow?
The hopeless
I don't believe. I've been an atheist since you first laid eyes on me. I just wanted to get that out there. A friend of mine apparently was unaware of this and it almost turned out to be a big deal. We all don't think alike. I don't think I'm any better than you as a person, I just happen to not believe in religion for a number of reasons. I'm not standing down or apologizing. I haven't been trying to hide this, I just don't talk about it often. And as for you, I don't care what you believe, as long as you learn to accept me as I have you.
If you're a true friend you'll just learn to live with it.
But if you're not, well then go fuck yourself - I'm better off without you.
I found out I'm on academic probation. I'm going to get my shit together. Last nine weeks was hell for me. I was out drinking and getting high every weekend. We had mad band practice all the time. I had a gun pulled on me while I was walking in my neighborhood, that just made me think a lot about things. My father was across the world risking his life everyday for bullshit reasons. The girl I was deeply in love with dumped me. Time to shove all that bullshit aside and get myself together. I might get dismissed from the Global Studies program and have to go to a different school if I don't.
And I swear I'm killing Danny and Anthony if any administration are dogging my ass tomorrow. Fuck!
