[Intro] The dust settles slow on the porch of the home where I grew Mom’s in the kitchen, and Dad’s drinkin' his brew There’s a Bible on the dash and a flag wavin’ high in the yard Living that life where the truth is just a little too hard. [Verse 1] You told me "be humble," you told me to "know my place" While you hid all your demons behind a God-fearing face Yeah, the neighbors all think we’re the gold-standard family tree But they don’t see the roots, and they sure as hell don’t see me I learned how to smile while I was choking on all of your "grace" Just a clean-cut kid with a look you could never erase. [Pre-Chorus] And I know you’re praying for my soul tonight Yeah, you’re "doing your best" to make sure that I’m seeing the light... You look at me with that pity in your eyes... And you say those three little words... [Chorus] BLESS! YOUR! HEART! AND THE FILTH INSIDE THE FOLDS! BLESS! THE! LIES! AND THE SECRETS THAT YOU HOLD! YOU’RE A WHITED SEPULCHER! A MONSTER IN A SUIT! BLESS YOUR TRADITION! WHILE I RIPPING OUT THE ROOT! [Verse 2] Keep your "thoughts and prayers," keep your Sunday best I’m a heart-attack beating inside of your chest You love the image but you hate the man I’m the one part of your "perfect plan" That you couldn’t break, that you couldn’t bend "Bless your heart," bitch—this is it! [Bridge] I DON’T WANT YOUR MERCY! I DON’T WANT YOUR NAME! EVERY "PARDON ME" IS JUST A PIECE OF THE SHAME! CRAWL BACK TO THE ALTAR! KNEEL DOWN IN THE DIRT! HOW DOES THE TRUTH FEEL? DOES IT FINALLY HURT?! [Final Chorus] BLESS! YOUR! HEART! BLESS! YOUR! SOUL! I’M THE ONLY STORY... THAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL! BLEEEEEESSSSSS YOOOOOUUUUUUUUU! [Outro] Go on... Tell the neighbors I’ve gone crazy. It's what you do best. It’s the most honest thing you’ve ever said. Tell em all. Just like you always have. (Wink Wink)
