Sweet Blasphemy (V6)

V6

[Intro: Whisper to Scream] Yeah... Uh... I said I'm guilty - and I like it like that. HA! [Verse 1 - Hip Hop Flow / 808s + downtuned guitar] I was raised with a hand on a bible, eyes closed prayin', Same hand that I used to cover my mouth when I was sinnin', Stained glass windows watch me, but they don't know the real me, Preacher said "boy you'll burn," I said "then let the fire free me" I was bread and water, now I want blood and honey, Knees on the cold floor beggin' for somethin' that never loved me, Took the halo off the shelf, melted it down for my teeth, Grill full of gold halos, I smile when I blaspheme. I ain't lost, I left, I ain't fallen, I leapt, Took the path that they said leads straight to death, Put my name on the guest list, bet. Every commandment I broke like a promise, Every psalm that I smoked like a chronic, If heaven's a gated community - I'm honest, I don't want a key, I want the whole thing demolished. [Pre-Chorus - Half sung / Building drums] Oh, they told me fear God, I learned to fear nothin', They told me bow down, I learned to stand for somethin'. [Chorus - FULL METAL / Screamed + Gang Vocals] I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! AND I'M PROUD! LET IT RAIN ON ME! Tear the cross off the wall in my chest! Write my sins in a beautiful script! I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! NO REGRETS! NO APOLOGY! If lovin' the dark is a heresy, Then let my heresy SET ME FREE! [Verse 2 - Double-time Hip Hop / Blast beats creeping in] Yeah, look - Communion wine never got me drunk, so I poured something stronger, Incense smoke never cleared my lungs, so I needed that thunder, I kissed the forbidden fruit 'til my lips turned black, Ate the whole orchard, ain't never lookin' back. Horns in my fitted cap, halo on the floor mat, Stomp on it, mop with it, watch how I doormat, Angels watchin' from the bleachers, they all in shock, I carved my name in the altar, can't sand it off. Proud of the ash on my forehead, but it ain't Ash Wednesday, Proud of the ghost in my mirror, that's the old me, dead face, They want me repentin', weepin', on my knees, beggin' please, I want the lightnin' to spell my name in the trees. I spit in the holy water just to watch it ripple, Triple six on my tongue, every word triple, If sin tastes sweet, then I'm a sweet tooth, If truth is a lie, then I'm the proof - WOAH! [Chorus - FULL METAL / Lower tuning, breakdown] I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! AND I'M PROUD! LET IT RAIN ON ME! Tear the cross off the wall in my chest! Write my sins in a beautiful script! I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! NO REGRETS! NO APOLOGY! If lovin' the dark is a heresy, Then let my heresy SET ME FREE! [Breakdown - Slow, Heavy, Spoken Growl] SWEET... BLAS... PHE... MY... Say it with your chest, let the steeple shake. SWEET... BLAS... PHE... MY... Not a whisper, not a mistake. OPEN YOUR THROAT! LET 'EM HEAR IT! [Verse 3 - Hip Hop + Screams layered - The Confessional] I'm not sorry for the nights I prayed to myself, Not sorry for the days I put my soul on the shelf, Not sorry that I love what they told me to hate, Not sorry that I knocked on Hell's front gate and said "I'M LATE, BUT I'M HERE!" Made my church out of bass, made my choir out of screams, Made my scripture out of nightmares and gasoline dreams, If I'm wrong, let me be wrong loud, If I'm damned, let me be damned proud. No more chain around my neck lookin' like a rosary, Took it off, made a mic cord, now the pain record me, One finger to the sky, but it ain't number one, It's a middle finger saint with a loaded gun - BOW! [Bridge - Clean singing -> Harsh] I found Heaven in the static, Found God in the noise, Found freedom when I stopped askin' Little boys to make big choices for me... SO NOW... [Final Chorus - Biggest, Gang Shouts + Lead Scream] I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! AND I'M PROUD! (I'M PROUD!) Tattoo it backwards on my forehead so Heaven can read it! I COMMIT SWEET BLASPHEMY! AND I'M FREE! (I'M FREE!) If you're lookin' for a sinner - I'M THE ONE YOU NEED! [Outro - Beat cuts, guitar feedback, whispered] Yeah... Sweet... sweet blasphemy. And I'm proud.
