How far into the church pew did you dig trying to find the person everyone believes you to be How many bibles did you burn just trying to ingest something purer than your own soul How many gallons of holy water did you pour over yourself and into your lungs trying to drown out the memory of her hands Still to this day when his hands are around your throat you try to convince yourself it's God finally finishing what he started When you were told God loves all his children they felt the need to add "even you..." at the end and maybe that's why you didn't believe it

Finishing What He Started
How far into the church pew did you dig trying to find the person everyone believes you to be How many bibles did you burn just trying to ingest something purer than your own soul How many gallons of holy water did you pour over yourself and into your lungs trying to drown out the memory of her hands Still to this day when his hands are around your throat you try to convince yourself it's God finally finishing what he started When you were told God loves all his children they felt the need to add "even you..." at the end and maybe that's why you didn't believe it
