lyrics

I stopped believing in God way before he stopped believing in me

I stopped looking to the sky way before I started looking to the sea
Cause the things I want and need can't be found in the ground below me
But if I dig far enough I might just find my roots
And nothing's as hard as seeing that the things you hate inside you were there from the start

We're just the product of our parents made to reproduce
"I'll bring you to this world to have no purpose and to have no use
I'll tell you how hard it was for me
That you can do better
I'll teach you how to fall in love but skip how to forget her"

We're all gods on the day our kids are born

"You mean the world to me
I didn't live until you breathed
So go out there and make your way
For the love of God and for your family's sake"

It takes one to get the complex
To become a god it takes two
It's not about the act of sex
About making a new you
So if you think you're brave enough
Let's put it to the test
Let's become one new person
And let them do the rest

But nothing's as hard as bringing all the things you hate inside you into the world

I'm just the product of my parents
Made to reproduce they brought me to this world to have no purpose and to have no use
They told me how hard it was for them, that I could do better
They taught me how to fall in love
But skipped how to forget her

We're all gods on the day our kids are born
