[Verse]
I wear a tie but it feels like a noose
Knocking on doors with a head full of truth
The Bay's alive but I’m stuck in my shell
Preaching heaven but I'm living in hell
[Chorus]
Confessions of a teenage Jesus jerk
Caught between the kingdom and the murk
The punk in my heart screams to be free
But they’re telling me who I should be
[Verse 2]
The skateboard cracks on the sidewalk cracks
I ride away but they pull me back
My friends wear studs and shout at the sky
I wear my guilt like a suit and a tie
[Chorus]
Confessions of a teenage Jesus jerk
Caught between the kingdom and the murk
The punk in my heart screams to be free
But they’re telling me who I should be
[Bridge]
Kingdom halls and bathroom stalls
I’m punching walls to drown the calls
Bay Area nights sing songs of escape
But I’m trapped in their holy red tape
[Verse 3]
I wanna scream but I whisper the word
Bible in hand but it feels so absurd
My faith is a cage my doubt is a knife
Cutting the ropes that tether my life
