i’m not a slave
i’m not a servant
i’d rather spend my time on something
thats fucking worth it
i lost it
i’m feeling drained
every single step I take
feels like a mistake
i’m laying awake
do i pray
or free myself before i fade away
i’m not a slave
i’m not a slave
don’t think i’ll every believe
the life i call my own
won’t spread a fucking disease
when i die don’t close my eyes
i wanna watch as i turn to dust
put me in the ground
that’s where my soul will stay
there’s not a better place
i’d rather be on my own anyway
i don’t live to please
in the end
all that’s left is me
on my death bed
my soul is not a machine
and I don't ever need you to let me know that you believe in me
and I don't ever need you to congregate and talk about my name
and I could never be a jealous nor a vengeful god
and i'm old enough to finally see
i could never be a good man at heart entertaining your beliefs.
every exit on your way to mass, dozens laying in the streets
that could have sang the hymns as well themselves
but you think there's another hell
i’m not a fucking servant
i won’t spread your disease
my soul is not a machine
if it was it’d be killing me
the life i call my own won’t spread a fucking disease
when i die don’t close my eyes
i wanna watch as i turn to dust
put me in the ground
that’s where my soul will stay
there’s not a better place
i’d rather be on my own anyway
i don’t live to please
in the end
all that’s left is me
