Everett Carter - Trust No Man

How do you take an opinion
And make it a law
If I Don't accept
Or I don't agree
Then I don't believe in god
Then you Turn it around
And say we made a mistake
But we clarified
If you don't abide
Your entire life's at stake
See
This is the problem I face
Is it god or has he been replaced
By an old face or exotic race
Meant to guide us to a happy place
I was never the one to be doubtful
But you got me wondering how though
Can we all be right at the same time
With a different line to become divine
Having trouble discerning the difference
But this is the world we live in
I used to be keeping in pace
But now Im just walking away
Im walking away
I'll keep you safe with me
I'm livin in pain
To much on the brain
Douse me with gas and throw in the torch
And I will take all of the blame I
Couldn't behave so
I'm not worth being saved
You covered your eyes and snuffed out my cries
Implied that god never heard it
But you say I'm bitter
Not livin in pain just a quitter
So make your way back like it never happened
Act like you are the winner
I was searching for purpose
But I never felt worth it
Used to be keeping in pace
But now I'm just walking away
I'm walking away
I'll Keep you safe with me
I'm done with this place of business
They put it on god but get this
They tell you abandon your kids when they make mistakes
To strengthen their spiritual fitness
Wonder how loved he felt
Isolated ashamed no help
Judgment instead he's full on depressed
His bible is open
Gun to his head and
But you lookin so surprised
Like how did we miss the signs
Like maybe we could have or maybe we should have
We're sure we did everything right
Nah you chose to be callous and distant
To force someone into submission
I know cause I used to be keeping in pace
But now I'm just walking away
I'm walking away
I'll keep you safe with me
We are so confused
livin the life that you told us to
The weight of your judgment tightens the noose
And I'll make it work but what do I do
When confidence equals arrogance
And self worth is sinning against
The most high and if your right
He created us just to live a lie
Or to hate ourselves cause we always fail
And you said its clear but I cant tell
You said you were keeping us safe
But now I'm just walking away
I'm walking away
I'll keep you safe with me
