They brought us through the passage Enslaved and tied to ropes All jokes are cast aside us With every smile for the words they spoke On bended knee they forced us Our smiling heads trapped in their holes The metal sheet came down so gently And there our laughing heads would roll Come bearing down your sanctity With a whistle, jump, and skip Come shining in all your glory Thousand beggars clinging to your hips Jesus came to save us all A smile for all our sins Jesus came tell us all "I cannot let you in now...” I've scarred it over my body's canvas My knife and rags are all but clean I've washed in eternal holy waters now But I'll forever lack that scriptured gleam I've prayed to take myself out of this With every breath I've given since My dreams withheld for years to date But he smiles at me and gives a clever wink Come enter into your temples now Grace us with an everlasting wake Come bless all of us that entered you Tell us that you're more than just a face Jesus came to take us all A hand to wipe away these sins And so Jesus proceeds to tell us all "But I cannot let you in, now..." © 2014

Faithlessly Sober (Believing the Belief Is Believed)
They brought us through the passage Enslaved and tied to ropes All jokes are cast aside us With every smile for the words they spoke On bended knee they forced us Our smiling heads trapped in their holes The metal sheet came down so gently And there our laughing heads would roll Come bearing down your sanctity With a whistle, jump, and skip Come shining in all your glory Thousand beggars clinging to your hips Jesus came to save us all A smile for all our sins Jesus came tell us all "I cannot let you in now...” I've scarred it over my body's canvas My knife and rags are all but clean I've washed in eternal holy waters now But I'll forever lack that scriptured gleam I've prayed to take myself out of this With every breath I've given since My dreams withheld for years to date But he smiles at me and gives a clever wink Come enter into your temples now Grace us with an everlasting wake Come bless all of us that entered you Tell us that you're more than just a face Jesus came to take us all A hand to wipe away these sins And so Jesus proceeds to tell us all "But I cannot let you in, now..." © 2014
