What if I move to a small town
And I change my name
Grow my hair down to my knees
And go to church every Sunday
What if I met you there
Before you dreamt of death
You needed more than a prayer
Should've loved you before your last breath
Did you get hit with that Bible Belt
Holy word hurt you more
Than those cuts that you felt
Did you find that salvation in killing yourself
The one way to reach heaven
Is going through hell
Did your Father forsake you
And Mother cry loud
Drove those nails through your wrists
So they would be proud
Are you free from the sin
Wearing your thorny crown
Are you washed in the blood
Are you closer to god now
You look out the stained glass windows
And wish to run away
Oh I wouldn't let them stop you
And I knew you couldn't stay
You did everything to warn them
It wasn't unforeseen
Can't blame the devil for this one
They knew you'd fall apart at fifteen
Did you get hit with that Bible Belt
Holy word hurt you more
Than those cuts that you felt
Did you find that salvation in killing yourself
The one way to reach heaven
Is going through hell
Did your Father forsake you
And Mother cry loud
Drove those nails through your wrists
So they would be proud
Are you free from the sin
Wearing your thorny crown
Are you washed in the blood
Are you closer to god now
Did you scream at the top your lungs
They'll never listen
They'll cut out your tongue
When you bleed out
They'll ask what you've done
You wait for a savior but no one will come
Did you get hit with that Bible Belt
Holy word hurt you more
Than those cuts that you felt
Did you find that salvation in killing yourself
The one way to reach heaven
Is going through hell
Did your Father forsake you
And Mother cry loud
Drove those nails through your wrists
So they would be proud
Are you free from the sin
Wearing your thorny crown
Are you washed in the blood
Are you closer to god now
Did your Father forsake you
And Mother cry loud
Drove those nails through your wrists
So they would be proud
Are you free from the sin
Wearing your thorny crown
Are you washed in the blood
Are you closer to god now
