No god No god has ever abandoned me No savior I came here by way of my own two feet There was no god To ever abandon me I made my bed to sleep in Constructing my own beliefs
At first empowered by the pride To mold my own truth from a lie My guiding light was designed By the questions whose answers It was made to help me find
I’m not cut out for this task I’m just a man Taking on the weight of a god In my own hands No chain of command I’m all alone in this land I understand Why people put their faith in Someone with his own plan But I can’t look back
For I may become a pillar of salt Forsaken here in a kingdom of faults
So smug to think that I am so much better off As if my freedom means that I’ll never be lost To keep pretending that I am so self-assured Is just as delusional as those who defer We’re more the same than we are not
At first empowered by the pride To mold my own truth from a lie My guiding light was designed By the questions whose answers It was made to help me find
I’m not cut out for this task I’m just a man Taking on the weight of a god In my own hands No chain of command I’m all alone in this land I understand Why people put their faith in Someone with his own plan But I can’t look back
I have learned to lick my wounds The only faith I’m holding onto
I remember when the laughter left my face I hung my head but not to pray I know it’s all the same We’re aimless The god you made won’t save us
How can I claim to be the one to call the shots? How can I claim to be my own god? How long before my hubris catches up? I am no better off
