Leaving the Cult Lyrics

I laid down my life for you

Tucked myself into a shape

I knew you'd approve

Gave up my passions and moves

Poured your certainty and faith

Into all of my grooves

Where my own father was missing

Where my own father was busy

You filled in the space

Where my father was missing

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Found it in me

Now I'm leaving the cult

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Gonna get free

Now I'm leaving the cult

I raised up a crown for you

Bent myself down to the humble ground

As a step for your shoe

Your words hit me like waves do

Like under-toe pulling me down

Into the blue

You were unwise now I see

You had small eyes now I see

You were not full like you said

You were leaching from me

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Found it in me

Now I'm leaving the cult

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Gonna get free

Now I'm leaving the cult

Ooooo yeah!

I'm no longer angry at you

I flowed slow down the river of feelings

To the open renew

I have seen the truth

Blessed be!

I have seen the truth

And it set me free

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Found it in me

Now I'm leaving the cult

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Gonna get free

Now I'm leaving the cult

Now I'm leaving the cult

For that wide open road

Got what I need

Found it in me

Now I'm leaving the cult
