No Church in My Mind

I am a youth born with no religion
Who thrives on creating my own new traditions
I live with no dependence on holy water
My purification and protection do not matter
I might have sold my soul for no reason
But what use is something that can’t change with each passing season

There’s no church in my mind
There’s no church in my mind

Our deterioration can’t be understood
All I want to do is blissfully remember the good
The answer isn’t written in cold soot
So there’s no use in moving on foot after foot
Virgins and saints won’t remove the hurt
How can they when their aid is only as good as dried up dirt?

There’s no church in my mind
There’s no church in my mind

Preachers, Pastors and all else in between
Can’t do much, let alone leave a person sparkling clean
We’ll need any advice and help we can get
Unless of course we force ourselves to quickly forget
Confusion can glitter and it can gleam
But it won’t be able to patch up the gargantuan and sensitive seam

There’s no church in my mind
There’s no church in my mind

The memories must stop beating at once
Before they take clever advantage of an open chance
Praying will not obliterate our entire past
That’s why holy rolling always comes in dead last
Hallelujah, the symbols have been burnt
None of your methodology can prevent our doomed descent

There’s no church in my mind
There’s no church in my mind

The person you knew came to his senses
He found a way out of the dark and bleak trenches
Don’t call this my sudden reincarnation
I didn’t die, I just accepted life without salvation
Now there’s no servant in your clutches
I can’t go back to that oblivious time of uninterrupted white fences

There’s no church in my mind
There’s no church in my mind

I am a youth living with no religion
Who basks in the light of his determination
One who lives in a difficult present
I find pain during the time I’m reminiscent
There’s no church to cloud my vision
Even when I’m sad, I must walk with the sharpest precision
