When I was young I was taught God They equated their fear with a real love In time the dissonance becomes believable It is a constant reminder That it grows My whole life A toxic shadow stays with me at the seams And I know it's insidious In the light still the outline stays with me at the seams And I know it's insidious You're fear is not enough It's cheap and it's meaningless The doubt has cast a shadow Eroding my mind They treat it like a sickness They fear I am not contagious Realize your God is too small See the outline grow The flower is in bloom I see it underneath A shadow sings to me that it grows My whole life A toxic shadow stays with me at the seams And I know it's insidious In the light still the outline stays with me at the seams And I know it's insidious Rip out all the seams Let it breathe Fear is not the same thing Your God is too small There's blood on the pages, right where his name is
