lyrics

We’ll watch the sunset admiring its beauty
Without connecting it to any deity
This is all that’s worth believing in
Why must you cheapen it with all your talk of Heaven?

I don’t need your imaginary friend
To remind me how powerless I am
I don’t need to be saved
I’m not poisoned by faith
You see your world through tainted glass

The wool was pulled over your eyes
From the moment that you werebaptised
Not given a choice and forcedto submit
Your mind made up for you before you’d learnt to use it

Can you feel the shame
Coursing through your veins?
Every basic urge suppressed
Conscience never allowed to rest
In such a complex world
Morality’s absurd
If dictated as absolute
When there’s so many points of view

Removing from our lives all sense of mystery
All these easy answers are so tempting to believe
There is so much we can never absolve
But just ‘cause it’s not explained doesn’t mean your God’s involved

I don’t need your imaginary friend
To remind me how powerless I am
We just need to escape
All this poisonous faith
And break through all the tainted glass
