APOSTASY [Glass Foxes x INSIDER]

STUDIO

Gotta go, Gotta go, Gotta go. Mm-mm-mm Gotta go, Gotta go, Gotta go. [Verse 1 - Glass Foxes] Gotta go Grab my coat Gotta let go. Kill the lights Drop the keys By the front door. Blocked the text Left the ring To let you know. Stepped away From the pew. I need quiet now. [Pre-Chorus - Glass Foxes] Every time I tried You were playing god And I was losing faith [Chorus - Glass Foxes] I don't wanna worship at an altar made of guilt I'm walking out the front door of the temple that you built You’re waiting for a savior, I'm just a girl you knew I’m putting down the gospel, I’m giving up on you. [Verse 2 - Glass Foxes] Changed the locks Cleared the air Time to let go. Washed the smoke From my hair Swept up the floor. Packed the books Kept the peace Had to let go. Didn't pray For release. I walked out on you. [Verse 3 - Insider] Drank the wine, ate the bread, tasted awful. Skipped the church, slept instead, made some waffles. Took the stand, raised my hand, you’re complaining. Fucked up the arrangement Arraignment, wait I’m walking out the confessional to catch a breath, you got me doing penance over shit I never said. Taking any bit of distance as a little threat, but they wrote a new testament and got left on read. Put your incense out, I'm stepping over candle wax, stand, kneel, sit, doing all them Catholic jumping jacks. Kept my cash in my pants when the basket passed, figured God can miss a Jackson, I was bad with cash. Never felt God there, Was a girl inside the closet little pamphlet on forgiveness with a coffee stain across it. You played God well, had religion looking honest, talking grace and all about your hell like you thought I was buying. Listen to your pitch, I can smell you are lying, drawing up a line just to see if I would cross it, Pray to see the day my guilt would have me crying ...and you expected me to want it? Then I left quiet, side door, keys in my pocket, let it shut behind me like, “shit, I don’t buy it.” And [Chorus - Glass Foxes] I don't wanna worship at an altar made of guilt I'm walking out the front door of the temple that you built You’re waiting for a savior, I'm just a girl you knew I’m putting down the gospel, I’m giving up on you. [Bridge - Glass Foxes] You can keep the holy water, you can keep your heavy cross I'm not looking for a lesson, I'm not mourning any loss It’s not a grand defection, this ain't some fall from grace I just finally got tired of standing in this place. Gotta go, Gotta go, Gotta go. Gotta go, Gotta go, Gotta go. [Chorus - Glass Foxes] I don't wanna worship at an altar made of guilt I'm walking out the front door of the temple that you built You’re waiting for a savior, I'm just a girl you knew I’m putting down the gospel, I’m giving up on you. [Outro - Glass Foxes] Gotta go. Gotta run. Giving up on you. (Just a girl you knew...) (Giving up on you.)
