nytes - valueless lyrics

verse 1
i got them horrible thoughts, all that deplorable nonsense
a little less ignorable, exploring my conscience
might only be rhetorical, but so is the godsend
you say could pull me forward, move me toward the promises
the you’ve been praying for, relaying the nonsense
tried not to be abstaining, but there’s paint in the progress
so coat over the names and make the fables forgotten
ignore your formal training, ascertain what the god’s meant
i don’t mean exploring their lips, and all the words in their writs
to see if metaphor and allegory coexist
but rather looking within the histories, stories, and myths
to find the reason behind the demons that might not exist
people throughout time wanted the best for their kids
took a proud, devout dad’s pride and turned it to hymns
took the evil that made moms cry and turned ’em to sins
saw upheaval and built cathedrals, made the people forget

chorus
i don’t think i know the truth
i don’t think i’m better than the rest
i’m not looking down on you
we’ve all got to put our beliefs to the test
i don’t care if i’m wrong or right, i’m just trying to live my life
don’t invalidate my breath, i swear i’m not valueless
i don’t need to know the truth
i don’t need the question off my chest
i don’t wanna be misconstrued
none of us are lesser than the rest
we’ve all spent too much life lying awake at night
validate that stress, i don’t wanna be valueless

verse 2
my curse is purposefully hidden away
it’s lurking in the murkiness, unbidden to stay
not hurting from the words, but feeling riddled with shame
inverted by the work that’s been undid in my brain
unburdened by the word, but still the teachings remain
perverted and perturbed by not being given a say
in earnest, i am searching like i did everyday
just working on the purpose as i sit here and say –

bridge
i could be who i wanted, and do what i need
i could go where i wished, and love who i pleased
i could chart my own path, wherever it goes
i could always come back, i would always be home
i could make a mistake. i could wrestle alone
or i could reach for a hand, it would always be close
i could make my own choices and follow ’em through
but i can’t think for myself, according to you

we’ve all spent too much life lying awake at night…
