Wasted Prayer

Wasted Prayer

A Poem by Matt Artis
"

A song I wrote about religion. Some may find it offensive, but this is how I release.

"

VERSE 1

AUDITIONING FOR THE AFTER LIFE

MEMORIZING THE SCRIPT (SCRIPTURE)

NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WORDS YOUR READING

ACTIONS LEAVE THOSE AROUND YOU INTERNALLY BLEEDING

YOUR HELPLESS VICTIMS OF

ASTERISKED UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

JUST ONE REASON WHY…

 

CHORUS

I DON’T NEED YOUR JESUS

I SEE WHAT YOUR GOD HAS MADE YOU

AND I DON’T LIKE WHAT I SEE

ID RATHER BE THE HEATHEN ME

 

VERSE 2

RECITING GOSSIP AS GOSPEL

WITH A CROSS AROUND YOUR NECK

BELITTLING THOSE DIFFERENT THAN YOU

WARNING OF DAMNATION FOR THEIR WAYS

OBLIVIOUS TO YOU RIGHTEOUS HATE

YOU ARE HYPOCRISY INCARNATE

JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY…

 

CHORUS

I DON’T NEED YOUR JESUS

I SEE WHAT YOUR GOD HAS MADE YOU

AND I DON’T LIKE WHAT I SEE

ID RATHER BE THE HEATHEN ME

 

BRIDGE

YOU HATE THIS GODLESS LIFE I LEAD

BUT MY CONSCIENCE IS ALL I NEED

SO DON’T WASTE PRAYER ON ME

JUST LET ME BE (LET ME BE)

IF HELL IS MY DESTINATION

‘LEAST IT'LL BE WARMER THAN YOU

(‘LEAST IT'LL BE WARMER THAN YOU)

A FINAL REASON WHY...


 

CHORUS

I DON’T NEED YOUR JESUS

I SEE WHAT YOUR GOD HAS MADE YOU

AND I DON’T LIKE WHAT I SEE

ID RATHER BE THE HEATHEN ME

ID RATHER BE THE HEATHEN ME (THAN EVER BECOME YOU)
