I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
They judge me
They judge me
They judge me

I don’t belong.

I sit while they rise to receive communion
I rest with my sins as they consume His Body and Blood
There is truly no hate like Christian Love

My teacher makes me stand
And I’m forced to explain
As I’ve been forced to explain
Since I was 11

I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
Do they judge me?
Do they judge me?
Do they judge me?

I can’t see why not.

I recite my prayers
In English and Latin and Spanish
And lie
And lie
And lie

I am a monster
Among these saints
I feel so guilty
I don’t share their faith

I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I’m out of place
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
I don’t belong
I hope they judge me
I hope they judge me
I hope they judge me

I don’t belong.
I attend Catholic School despite coming from a non-religious family.
