Abaculus - Theolepsy Lyrics

Nonviolence, prolonged silence
Unrest comes from godless science
Searching for purpose but I cannot find it
Progress leads to thoughts of faith as blindness
I'm unsure on which side of the line I stand
Untrusting but hopeful of some higher hand
But why would by worth lie in another's jurisdiction
When that figure could just be pure fiction
Superstition is not where I draw my morals
When religion has caused all of these quarrels
Thirst for power is not a virtue of mine
Heads of faith gain ego from control of minds
How do I put meaning behind my heart and my brain
When the only continuity in society is pain
How am I supposed to trust that faith
When they continue to spread violence and hate

I can't relate to these teachings
Double standards on what type of heart is beating
Faith is a place where hate does not belong
But you only seem to see what we are doing wrong
So here's a song of my dilemma
Here's a song of my ironic anathema
I can't live in denial for all of my days
So, my love and my morals are my personal faith

How does religion inspire such hate
Misplaced irate leaders with reputation great
Take lives we take dives from what is inside
It's not right their plight to reclaim our lives
But why fight if I'm just a straight white guy
Who can't understand hate if I try
Just trust that some stuff has made me understand
And it's pretty damn close to firsthand
(Hold up) Who says I need to hurt to know
Things aren't right know what you go
Through and know to try and hide
When leaders tell you that you're not right
They're like, "Who you are is wrong and you're going to go to hell"
It's pretty backwards but only time can tell
When rules in a book take place over love
Let's just see who ends up below and above

I can't relate to these teachings
Double standards on what type of heart is beating
Faith is a place where hate does not belong
But you only seem to see what we are doing wrong
So here's a song of my dilemma
Here's a song of my ironic anathema
I can't live in denial for all of my days
So, my love and my morals are my personal faith

I can't relate to these teachings
Double standards on what type of heart is beating
Faith is a place where hate does not belong
But you only seem to see what we are doing wrong
So here's a song of my dilemma
Here's a song of my ironic anathema
I can't live in denial for all of my days
So, my love and my morals are my personal faith
