[Verse 1]
I learned the hush by the pew
Grey wood pressed into my shoes
Hands folded hard, head bowed low
Heard the same bells, never a glow
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried that weight in my chest
Prayed till my throat turned to dust
Still the dark kept its name
Still the silence stayed
[Chorus]
No need to preach to me
I grew at a preacher knee
No God answered my plea
So no God owns me
I'm free
Better mentality
Clarity
Spirituality
After religions fatality
[Verse 2]
I burned the book by the sink
Watched the smoke climb and sink
Not from hate, from the ache
Of a life told what to take
[Pre-Chorus]
I choose my own shadow now
I choose my own sacred vow
If the world wants my kneel
It can watch me stand still
[Chorus]
No need to preach to me
I grew at a preacher knee
No God answered my plea
So no God owns me
I'm free
Better mentality
Clarity
Spirituality
After religions fatality
[Bridge]
Let the old names crack and fall
Let the stained glass cut the wall
I was lost, now I see
The only judge lives in me
[Final Chorus]
No need to preach to me
I grew at a preacher knee
No God answered my plea
So no God owns me
I'm free
Better mentality
Clarity
Spirituality
After religions fatality
