A song about how the last few years have slowly chipped away at my connection to my community, my "religion" and my self-identity.
lyrics
Oh my god I’m wearing thin
Weathered by this storm I’m in
Gold-leaf pamphlets and neon signs telling me what I should buy
Grind my teeth and tuck my chin
I’m ready for the break and bend
Shed my skin in the chat room light
Reborn creature of the night
Pardon me, I think we’re growing small
No point in pointless points at all
‘Cause I am in the corner
I’m cringing as the “righteous” march in place
I won’t follow orders
Idle in the apathetic pace
You uninspired; blowing smoke!
Drain my brain and suck my blood
You fill me with the plastic crud
Stream my dreams on the astral plane
Gotta, gotta change my lane
Pardon me, I think we’re growing small
No point in pointless points at all
Now I am in the corner
I’m cringing as the “righteous” march in place
I won’t follow orders
Idle in the apathetic pace
You uninspired; blowing smoke!
I want to know myself
And I want to trust my body
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
I want to love myself
And I want to trust my body
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else
Walk the path that leads
To the things I need
Leave the rest of it for somebody else

Josh, your music has been a wonderful discovery for me recently as I have found myself being drawn back to the Lord. Thank you for what you do.
In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdenous.
