A song about losing religion

Even though it hurts I told you not to be afraid
I said hear the words I’m telling you they’re rare to find and no the least ashamed
It’s awful how the world works but if we face this that could change

I told you faith will make you blind
You looked as if you would laugh at me
But you were too afraid

And you were so convinced it all could be explained by what the doctrines say
I don’t believe, I don’t believe this could still be happening today
Maybe it’s just terrifying that you’ll really die some day.

I told you faith will make you blind
You looked as if you would laugh at me
But you were too afraid
That I said I’d help you out
hold you up and try to help you see
But you were too afraid

That these contradictions undermine all that you thought
Of what it means to call the lie, of what it means to lose a god
They’re just contradictions, only contradictions…
