Excommunicate Lyrics

Designer pride hidden lies

Accustomed to hands held high

Front row status recognized

Yet no souls moved

Protest signs words online

Condemnation in our time

Opinions dismissed against mine

Cause you have truth

Why am I singing

Why am I screaming

Seems like everything you're seeing

Is everything I don't believe in

It's me versus you yours versus mine

The complication of our tribes

We're just the blind leading the blind

No ones foolproof

Why am I singing

Why am I screaming

Seems like everything you're seeing

Is everything I don't believe in

This is where I start to break

Where I take all I can take

Where I'm not something I ain't

Where I excommunicate

Oh come to the altar

Won't you draw nigh

Oh come to where interpretation must die

Where tradition and dogma

Contend for whats right

And where the messiah is painted as white

Historical context is lost to the past

It's where mysteries lungs have breathed in their last

Where science is treated just like a disease

Cause the only vaccine

Can come on your knees

It's where the cross is draped in the stars and the stripes

Where we forfeit our morals and instead claim our rights

To oppose who you love where you're from what you wear

Where we substitute action for our thoughts and our prayers

So come to the altar

Why wont you give in

Oh it simply must be because of your sin

Or because of your pride

Or because you're deceived

Not because we gave nothing for you to believe

Why am I singing

Why am I screaming

Seems like everything you're seeing

Is everything I don't believe in

Why am I singing

Why am I screaming

Seems like everything you're seeing

Is everything I don't believe in now
