Madison Metz - Buried

I wanna go to heaven and see His people free
But you're wanting me to follow in the way you want to lead
My science is fiction and justice is a sin
And preacher has an answer but we'll be damned if he lets us in

I wanna see my Jesus and live my life for God
But you don't think I'm righteous; I don't know my own flaws
And you won't show forgiveness for what you think I've done
And kindness only matters to those you know and love

You got to love with all your heart and hate who disagrees
And when the people pray to God, you hold them down on their knees

So I'll borrow the kindness and I'll cover up the pain
They say the devil's inside me and the disease won't leave my brain
So lie about your hubris and lock your closet doors
The vines that swing more ways than one will be buried beneath the floors

They're gonna try to fight you and judge you like it's fair
But if they cared to read, they'd know that the judgement isn't theirs
The hypocrites aren't hiding or living life in shame
And the heretics aren't burning, but they're the ones that light the flame

You got to love with all your heart and hate who disagrees
And when the people pray to God, you hold them down on their knees

So I'll borrow the kindness and I'll cover up the pain
They say the devil's inside me and the disease won't leave my brain
So lie about your hubris and lock your closet doors
The vines that swing more ways than one will be buried beneath the floors

You got to love with all your heart and hate who disagrees
And when the people pray to God, you hold them down on their knees
