Covered SOBER (Death Version) - Radio Mix x Ash of Your System (style change)

[Intro] Quiet… in the back of your car, Calling what you want, you say you wanna go far. Not you—just a hymn in the back of my thoughts, Fluorescent cross where they said I’d rot. In the back of the bar, You don't even look in my eyes, now I'm guessing where you are, The world scrolls past, all scripture in pixels, I nod to your faith while losing the signal. [Verse] Built my soul out of broken antennas, Raised on sermons and holy agendas. You're messing with my head, Don't you want me instead? You should want me out with you, you and all your friends. I dance on static, baptized in feedback, Pastor on screen, same sermon on playback. Prescription prayers stack up in the cabinet, Every pill a sacrament—quiet and accurate. Names in the margins of pages I’ve burned, You called it “saved,” but the scars never turned. Baby, when you're faded You make it complicated, I talk to God on the bathroom floor, He sounds like you saying “sin like before.” Shame in the hum of the cracked old ceiling, Halos in shadows that watch me kneeling. You poured your guilt down my throat as healing, I spit it back up—blasphemous, screaming. [Pre-Chorus / Hook] Inside my head your echoes gather, Loud like sermons, dull like chatter. Baby, when you're faded You make it complicated. You sold me hell and called it pattern, Now I burn your creed till your crowns all flatten. [Chorus – Drop] You, you only want me when you're sober, You only want me when it's over, You only want me when you're sober— Inside my head I rip down banners, Pulling nails from holy hammers. You, you only want me when they're all gone, If you're messed up then I'm all wrong, No composure— Every prayer is a glitch that shatters, I chant them back till your judgment scatters. [Bridge] You blessed my breakdown, called it “art,” Said God was carving out my heart. You watched me bleed for some grand meaning, Now I want payback for that twisted teaching. You, you only want me when they're all gone, If you're messed up then I'm all wrong— City lights buzz like stained‑glass confessions, Neon saints sell cheap obsessions. See my face in the offering screen, Sin in 4K, grace in green. “Trust in me,” says the pastor’s error, “Your doubt’s a crime, but my fear works better.” I clicked “amen” till my hands turned deader— You drowned me twice, this time in terror. [Build – Hook Flip] Inside my head I hear you ticking, Doctrine wrapped tight round everything I’m thinking. You fed me fear till my will stopped kicking, Now I carve my name in the ash of your system. Baby, when you're faded You make it complicated— Chasing God through static distortion, Heaven you promised was hell in portions. [High Chorus – Intercut] You, you only want me when you're sober, You only want me when it's over— Can you hear it now—the whisper in the sound? Not a prayer—just your walls coming down. You, you only want me when they're all gone, If you're messed up then I'm all wrong— I built my trust out of half‑spoken vows, You broke each one—I’m the heretic now. [Final Verse / Hook] I’m a storm dressed up as a silhouette, Your lost sheep turned biggest threat. Angels clock out from hospital beds, Done counting “wrong thoughts” as meds. My laughter cuts through your chapel hum, I tell your god, “yeah, the worst is done.” ‘Cause inside my skull the riot drums— It’s not your devil, it’s what I’ve become. When you're messed up then I'm all wrong, When you're messed up then I'm all wrong— Every scar your faith designed Spells “ASH OF YOUR SYSTEM” across my mind. [Outro – Drop to Silence] Inside my head your walls stop shaking, The choir falls mute—my voice is waking. You, you only want me when you're sober… Static again, honest, unforgiving: You called it sin; I call it living. I breathe in deep, feel your halo slipping— If I can’t be healed, I’ll keep resisting.
