about

Originally from the Passing Days digital single.

lyrics

You spent your younger years with a head heavy with god
And the fear he'd find you out
You spilled your blood and tears on your dirty, sinful flesh
And you kept your faith devout
With the fear and pain
The guilt and shame

Now it's been a couple years and you've moved on with your life
But your wounds had never healed
You've feared the wrath of men in your home but not the sky
And it's a fear that you still feel

But I'm here to say don't ever be afraid.

No one can tell us who we are
Not fathers, not men, not god
Our bodies are ours and ours alone
Not temples. Not pillars of salt

Will you choose to live your life in the shadow of your shame
Of men of god and law
Have you learned to face the way that all of us were born
We're not victims, we're gods.

And who are they to say we should ever be ashamed

Once we take back our lives, we will drag god screaming from the sky
And leave his body on the roadside, and we will watch him until he dies.

You don't need to be ashamed
