about

An Exvangelical anthem

lyrics

I survived american christianity
and i know it's just cause i got lucky
they didnt see a lot of potential in me

Girl who was a little too much
too excited, too loud, and language too rough
they tried to get me to stay without giving me a place

Spiritually judged by a boy my own age
Not to play in the band that worshipped on the stage
so we just had no drummer for months

Typical.

Fear i was not fine
most of my life
what would it be worth
to escape the shame in my mind?

Wonder when ill be free
of this guilt that encompasses me
for leaving a god I don't believe in
and a church that never wanted me

I survived american Christianity
and I know it was half opportunity
to leave the church and still have people who loved me around

I’m free now to invest in me
There’s no limits if nothing’s testing me
when love looked like abuse
It was easy to fall into the pews

Fear i was not fine
most of my life
what would it be worth
to escape the shame in my mind

Wonder when i’ll be free of this
bad theology
Its a dark cave to crawl out
but i know peace comes with time

It's a dark cave to crawl out
but i know that peace comes with time

It's a dark cave to crawl out
but i know that peace comes with time.
