Have some more SplitAxe lyrics, might have poured a lot of my own issues and anger regarding religion into this one as only someone who grew up in the church can š¤

Bible BeltĀ (written by Travis Rathburn & Hunter Wright)
Mama plasters on that big smile
She donāt wear it any other day
Eat sanctimony out of silver spoons
Middle class with your nice house in the hills
And weāll come as we are
Dirt poor, 14 hours in them lumber mills
[screamed]Ā Thank god itās Sunday!
Open up your ears to his message
[screamed]Ā But shut your eyes when you pray!
[screamed]Ā Come as you are!
[screamed]Ā Come as you are!
[screamed]Ā Eat sanctimony out of silvers spoons!
But these walls arenāt home
Wear that shame on your shoulders now
And the bodyās for naught
Naw girls canāt do that
And boys canāt wear this
And girls ādonāt have sexā
āTwo boys shouldnāt kissā
And you canāt take it with you
[screamed]Ā Then whyās it matter what we do?!
[screamed]Ā With this mortal shell??
You donāt take it to hell
Donāt take it to heaven
Donāt mean shit if youāre queer
[screamed]Ā Or if you aināt a virgin
Think the soul transcends?
[screamed]Ā I hope it ends!
[screamed]Ā I hope all of this ends!
I hope changing of seasons
And laughter without reason
I hope memories of relief
Of waking from deep sleep
[screamed]Ā I hope struggles and conflict
[screamed]Ā The guilt, you canāt stop it!
[screamed]Ā I hope it ends!
[screamed]Ā I hope all of this ends!
[spoken]Ā Youāre all so obsessed with some future up high
[spoken]Ā Promised rewards from your god, the man up in the sky
[spoken]Ā How can you appreciate the now, right now
[spoken]Ā The passing of fucking time if you trade it all, whole life standing in line
[spoken]Ā At those fucking pearly gates, good deeds fucking currency to make your way in
[spoken]Ā On a VIP pass. Your life went by so fucking fast, spent it with eyes shut
[spoken]Ā Blind to the good things, the true things
[spoken]Ā Blind to the wreckage you leave, cause you wonāt take it with you
[spoken]Ā No consequence, just pray it away, why dwell on it
[spoken]Ā Ask daddy to forgive you, wash yourā[screamed]Ā fucking hands clean!
If youāre waiting for heaven youāre blind to the earth
Blind to the life youāre fucking living
The life weāre all fucking living
Blind to the good and the bad
Blind to the fucking wars
No guilt for murdered children, cause they go up to heaven
[laugh]Ā āJesus loves the little childrenādonāt worry, godās got them in his armsā
āUp in his house they wonāt come to no harmā
[screamed]Ā Oh! Iām so sick of this shit!
You dictate our fucking lives, what we can and canāt do, wear or say and who we can love!
Make rules for a world you say isnāt even your fucking home, cause you belong up above???
Oh, your true homeās in heaven, bitch?Ā [screamed]Ā Then go to heaven bitch!
Leave me here with the queers and whores
Take your fucking wars and take your fucking bible with you too!
Leave me here with the sunsetsāThe forests, the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky
Leave me here on this earthāthe spring and the summers, the fall and the winters
You think thereās an afterlife? This is my only life!
I hope itās your only life!
[screamed]Ā I hope you waste your only life!
[screamed]Ā I hope it ends!
[screamed]Ā I hope it ends!
[screamed]Ā I hope all of this ends!
[whispered]Ā If the soul transcends
[whispered]Ā What if the soul donāt transcend
[whispered]Ā And if the soul donāt transcend
[whispered]Ā Then our lives they justā
