The scratches on your arm from when you were 15
Burn white
You still cringe when people notice them
You feel too strange
You're a werewolf
Â
Getting drunk off communion wine
Like you're some kind of saint
I keep the dead flowers in a drawer
So that I'll always remember
What happened that day
Don't pray for me
Â
Shaved my legs in the bath
Watched the red run down the white plastic
And down the drain
Â
Maybe I'll grow out my beard to look more like a boy
Or paint my face to look more like a girl
Pack your bags we're leaving here
Â
I'll put on a brave face
I'll stand up straight
I'll try my best, just stay with me
Â
He said that "God doesn't love you
Because of who you love"
He said "it's because of the way that you were born"
Â
But God, I don't want to go to heaven
None of my friends are there
I'm a burning church, I'm an empty hearse
I'm a secret handshake
I'm a stranger's face in a crowd of people
But I'll be okay
Â
So don't pray for me
