lyrics

"Standing in a circle, the dozen or so men and women, young and old, lay their hands on their pastor, Ken Peters, as he raises their requests to God."

"He prays that “communism and socialism and transgenderism and homosexuality and abortion will not have their way in this land.”"

"“Yes, Lord,” someone cries."

"He prays that the nation’s “Christian roots” will remain, that the church of Jesus Christ will be a “restraining power.”"

"“God, this nation is a miracle for you,” Peters continues. “You rescued us, and you gave us our independence for a purpose.”"

"After another “amen,” the service begins with everyone’s hands raised to “Here I Am to Worship”."

I see the reconfiguring on which you people depend
Thank the lord it never directly reached the gates I was forced within
But not everyone's so fortunate the same
Unsafe from meeting the abhorrent treatment toward where the blame is placed
All doom and gloom, the "grooming" accusations you use to broadly paint us
Like our mere existence is equivalent to the systems you've built to uplift your bullshit
It's freedom for thee, not for me
And you can't cover this up with good deeds

So here's one for those seen as deserving of death by stoning
The sluts & whores I've met, plus anything more
Even fat people, apparently, judging by at least one protest spotted recently
It's beyond me why somebody would even say this

And I know it's so tiring
These are merely the basics many could already agree are an outrage, no matter the base they stay with
I guess I'm just saying, for the sake of encapsulating every dangerous angle, and the pain they hold
So there I go once again, with the realization of what was always truly in front of me

Let's make it thru the broken pieces of a gay anthem okay
What else is there to say besides explain your every day
I awake to the next headline in degradation of our traits
Here we go perpetually, til we're all eliminated
At this rate it's easy to fancy just isolating
Into fantasy where we only bring real beauty
Much like these surrounding have, really
It's just our minds don't utilize it for bigotry

I wish I could offer resolution over observation as much as you
Maybe I shouldn't have even bothered if I couldn't do this
Leaving us wondering where the fucking song is
It's gotta be somewhere coming up next

(Completing deconfiguration.)
(Completing deconfiguration.)
(Completing deconfiguration.)

(Accepting the pathway of autonomy that’s leading we into the devil’s den)

(I guess it’s really worth it, using our bodies the way our hearts bring)

(The only thing I’ll sing praise for is ourselves existing today)
