Baby Frankensteins: Jesus

Jesus


Facts about this song:
--It is written as a sort of hate-note to God.
--I do not currently hate God.
--I did at one point hate God.
--This is a song about a violation.
--I believe in brutally honest prayer, that if you can pray and be grateful and humble, you can tell God off as well and not be struck down.
--Praying this way requires perhaps more faith than always being nice and thankful to God. I believe God is more interested in hearing us speak to Him/Her/It bluntly, without fear, in a venting manner.
--I promise I'm not this angry anymore. My friends had no idea.

I knew one day I'd have to face it

But I didn't think I'd wish that my conscience was dead

Or dying

Trapped in this box full of secrets

But it's better than reliving my hell

Well, my hell is reliving it

Every night when the lights are gone

So Jesus--You're the one I'm supposed to turn to?
But oh, God--how I want to blame blame blame You
Now I've got to figure out what's best

And somehow it's worse now that You're here

Slow down, slow down, little girl

Let's see if this too will pass

After all, He made you a promise

And I'd be a fool to trust You again

And so I'm gonna go see what the devil has to offer someone like me

So, Jesus--so You're the one to clear the pain?
But oh, God--when I think of You, all I see is shame

Now I've got to pick it up and groove on down the road

Well, I say that's not how it's supposed to be

And I can forgive him, but can I forgive You?

And when I tasted his sweat mixed with my sweat

I looked up, but You were nowhere to be found

Hmm. Don't really know why everything's highlighted. Or how to change it back.
