I'm Afraid That I'm Me
Showbread

The world is sick and all of us in it

So fight the cancer

Fight the cancer

Don't bow your head to it


The world is sick but it won't die from it

So fight the cancer

Fight the cancer

Don't bow your head to it


I'm afraid that i am me

And i had no say in this

I dare to be self-aware when ignorance is bliss

I never do the things i want

I do what i don't want to

I'm fortified for treachery and hopelessly untrue


Remember when we were all small?

With stained-glass windows stretched up the walls

We listened to words we could not understand

As they echoed through the church halls

They stacked us up conveniently

And fed us from their tables

They deduced what we should know

Because we weren't able

And as we grow we feel we know

The truth of where we've been

Satiated by their oaths


Dragged on the heels of holy men


Lately i have found frustration among the incongruence

A movement of peasants and pacifists drowning in patriotic affluence

I feel as though i should do something but i'm staggered by the ramifications

They've baptized the empire into the church and heralded its sanctification


Sometimes i feel as though i'm taking place outside of myself

But i'm afraid that i am me

I am me

I'm me

I'm me


blessed are the meek succumbs to might makes right

turn the other cheek succumbs to pre-emptive strike

love your enemies is fossilized beneath the frozen tundra

And blessed are the poor in spirit is devoured by god bless america


You file the children into the classrooms, make them stand and say an oath

And when we ask should i love god or my country?

You smile and tell us both.

We've hidden the god we claim we serve and driven him beneath the floorboards

But i can still hear this still, small voice

And i can't take it anymore
