1st VERSE
I'm checkin' into leaving,
yeah I'm folding,
I'm tired of breaking down and shaking this life around,
I'm tired of praying,
yeah I'm tired of trying myself,
I'm tired of being taken all the way.
CHORUS
And I don't need to be godless, but I am.
and I don't need my head deep in all my problems,
and I don't need your hand on the gun, yeah
and I don't need to say I'm godless with nowhere to fall.
yeah, I'm all ready to fall.
1st BRIDGE
2nd VERSE
Day by day, I'm like a paper puppet and I'm stumbling 'round,
I make it on my brain,
and I'm in big trouble, big trouble
I still gotta breathe, oh yeah
Like my shame, this'll all go down,
God damn me last for sure,
and I believe,
I believe I don't belong here.
CHORUS
And I don't need to get my head kept in,
and I don't need to be another lost soul who can't find home, and I don't need
to get my face dragged down in the muddy water
and I don't need to say I'm godless anymore.
2nd BRIDGE
Still I'm gone,
Still I'm on the road,
Still I'm on the brink of the edge,
Still I, still I'm feeling dead,
CHORUS
I don't need to be godless, but I am
and I don't need to be another lost soul who can't find home,
and I don't need your hand on the gun,
and I don't need to say I'm godless anymore.
