Things You Need

The sun is peeking in through stained glass Holy feeling but I know this won't last Does it bother you to think that They'll see a marytr and not an outcast No, I dont need you to typecast I'm sick and tired of the contrast between What you preach and what you don't see So you can walk away and let me be, tell me I know what I believe Did you choose to be so naive So sick of listening Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this You speak in tongues and yet you still cant explain it How do you know what's right When you can't sleep at night I'll tell you stories from the afterlife I think I figured out where we stand Hate to say it but I know this won't last Repressing years of holy mishaps Took a hold inside my head and I'm not praying for a relapse What's the message if we say that "Everything has meaning" yet we can't afford to give back Is it empathy that you lack Don't roll your eyes at me and say that I don't get it I know there's hope in the unseen You're blinded by the very thing you thought you would need The things you need Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this You speak in tongues and yet you still cant explain it How do you know what's right? When you can't sleep at night I'll tell you stories from the afterlife Tell me what I did wrong to deserve this You preach forgiveness but it's not like you earned it How do you know what's right When you can't sleep at night I'll tell you stories from the afterlife
