Atheist Foxhole

Bedroom confessional

The ceiling, listening professional

Self doubt is obsessional

I have been told to find Jesus

The surgeon to cut into my chest

A spiritual prosthesis

But the genius of my thesis

Is freethinking is my weakness

Maybe considered strength

To keep fairy tales and hymns at arm's length

Sorry preacher we are on different wavelengths

I am digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for

And I keep digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for

You say I have a hole

devil tugging on my soul

Preventing me to be whole

I just need to sit myself in a church

Do a little soul search

And take my pride off its perch

But I have done my research

I can't be confined to scripture

My eyes on a bigger picture

Rational and practical thought in the mixture

I am digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for

And I keep digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for

Dreaming of my death bed

Bolts bursts from the bulkhead

Back and forth mental bloodshed

Religion today is multiple choice

All with a self proclaimed voice

Enabling many to rejoice

But I sit here on the sidelines

Dodging all the landmines

Living life without your guidelines

I am digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for

And I keep digging deeper into my skin

But still haven't found what I am looking for
