Conversion

writing so the room don’t spin

notebook paper, a ballpoint pen

i can’t keep lying to you

remember when i took that stage?

saw you clapping when i said i’d changed

both of us stockholmed in someone else’s truth

i wrote you a letter

cuz i couldn’t say out loud

i love you but

i won’t let you take me down

can’t keep me in

can’t take me down

don’t know how to handle this

don’t know who it is i been tryna convince

god or myself or you

and i can tell you what they’ll say

lack of trying or a lack of faith

but what they call freedom feels more like abuse

i gave you the letter

cuz I couldn’t stick around

i love you but

i won’t let you take me down

can’t keep me in

can’t take me down

there’s a shine in my soul

can’t change what you can’t see

and you can’t change what you can’t see

there’s a shine in my soul

can’t change who god made me

and you can’t change who god made me

there’s a shine in my soul

can’t change what you can’t see

can’t change who god made me
