Cast Aside

Intro (whispered, distant)
Kneel.
Confess.
Obey.
Or be…
Cast aside.



Verse 1
Stained glass fractures in my hands
Your paradise built on shifting sand
You preached purity with bloodied teeth
While digging graves beneath my feet

Cathedrals echo hollow praise
I was caged inside your faith
You sold me fear as holy grace
Then turned your back to save your face



Pre-Chorus
Blind.
Led.
Fed me to wolves in shepherd’s threads.



Chorus
Bleed the faith — you carved me out
Silenced every word of doubt
False messiahs, plastic crowns
Left me buried underground

Bleed the faith — choke the lie
Watched your heaven pass me by
You built your throne on broken knees
Then threw the blame on me

You cast me aside.



Verse 2
I was praying through the abuse
While you twisted sacred truth
Confession booths and velvet threats
Forgiveness came with deep regrets

You branded me a heresy
For thinking differently
You called it love — conditional
Then made me disposable



Pre-Breakdown Build (faster, frantic)
Raise my hands
Close my eyes
Swallow doctrine
Sanctified

Question once
Crucified
Just for asking why



BREAKDOWN (slow. crushing.)
Tear.
It.
Down.

Rip the halo from the fraud
I was just another scar to god
You taught me fear
You fed me shame
Then cast me out
In His name

CAST.
ASIDE.



Bridge (clean but eerie)
If there was truth inside your ruin
You locked it far away from me
You buried every part of me
That didn’t fit your purity



Final Chorus (chaotic)
Bleed the faith — let it fall
You never cared for me at all
Every sermon soaked in blame
Every prayer just spoke my name

Bleed the faith — strip it bare
I found silence in your prayer
When I begged you let me stay
You just turned — and walked away

You cast me aside.
