Why I Don't Believe In God |
I heard the truth about you |
And it doesn’t really read at all |
Like the whipping stick you raised me with |
A scared woman in a private hell |
Hushed voice like electric bells |
Strange talk about Edgar Cayce |
And the long lame walk of the dark seventies |
Strange talk about Edgar Cayce |
And the long lame walk of the dark seventies |
I heard the truth about you, yeah you |
Mama, they woke me up |
I was deep in an idiot sleep |
I was just eight years old |
Heard big words with horrible sound |
Why’d they have to call my school |
Tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown |
I wish I believed like you do, yeah you |
In the myth of a merciful God |
In the myth of a heaven and hell |
I hear the voices you hear sometimes |
Sometimes it gets so much |
I feel like letting go |
Sometimes it gets so hard |
I feel like letting it go |
Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard I feel like letting it all go |
Letting it all go |
Letting it all go |
Letting it all go |
Letting it all go |
Yeah, letting it all go |
I ran away and went looking for you |
Back to Culver City and the old neighborhood |
Needed to know if you were really gone |
Needed to know if you were gone for good |
I ran through the projects at night |
Hide in the dark from my friends in the light |
Hide from my brother-in-law |
Hide from the things he’d say |
Said you weren’t losing your mind |
Yeah, said you just needed a rest |
He said you would be coming home soon |
He said the doctors there would know what’s best |
Said that maybe I could go live with them for a while |
I know the truth about you |
I know the truth about you |
I know the truth about you |
I know the truth |
I know the truth |
I know the truth |
I know the truth |
I know the truth about you |
Mama, they woke me up |
I was just eight years old |
Sometimes it gets so hard |
I feel like letting it go |
Sometimes it gets so hard |
I feel like letting it all go |
Yeah, letting it all go |
Letting it all go |
Ooh, letting it all go |
Yeah letting it all go |
