in the name of all that's allegedly holy

by the will of what ambulatory afterbirth


I lived a lie and am dying in truth

I had no idea my faith was a delusion


so much for thanking the Almighty

for all that was wrong in me


while every righteous effort

I owed to some mythical Evil One


as if I could palm off my pride

in exchange for some salvation


now I know better and wish i didn't

I'd probably endure this last comedown better


if I followed my own inclinations

and trusted the life I actually lived...
