When I return
I will simply write a short story for my revenge
About this town, these people, these gamblers

The first song I learned spoke of Bethlehem
So is that prophecy or is that brainwashing?
Cause no one ever pitched the Greek gods
And I don't know why not
I think that Athena'd understand me

When my chips have fallen
My messiah came calling
But what if he'd not?
Would my soul just rot?

Oh, what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees

Oh, what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall
I wanna be someone that you'd call

My dad's never cursed in his life
I asked if he smoked, he said 'Twice'
Well, by that standard I'm a goddamn failure
I passed blunts the day I married my wife

But I'm a child of God, just in case you forgot
And you cast me out every single chance that you got
And that's your loss, not mine
I'll be better than fine
You just missed your shot to meet the unholy divine

I'm saying: Fuck a saviour
And if she can't take it then she's small
I'm gonna ask a lot of questions
Because I'm giving this my all
You know the people preach now
Well they'd be putting us through shit
And if you don't sanction that then why are you rewarding it?

You know the mission trips are scams
They do more harm than good
We got fame hungry pastors
Making bank in Hollywood

I'm more confused than I've been
And I don't think this will pass
And I'm saying your name
When I think the plane will crash

What I'd give (for just an inch of your peace)
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees

Oh, what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall
I wanna be someone that you'd call

What I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees

What I'd give for just an inch of your peace
'Cause I wanna fall
I wanna be someone that you'd call
