tyler ward - circus and churches lyrics

june 94’
that’s a story she ignores
they swept the pride and the l-st
of a preacher they loved
under the rug

and she wonders why…

she’s staring at herself in her underwear
pulling her hair
saying, “n-body cares”
she whispers, “it was an accident, but i’m a fu-king accident”
rubbin’ on her noes
grabbin’ on her thighs
up another half size
she’d rather show up in the circus
than show up in churches

so love your neighbor as yourself
but what if you don’t love yourself?
well that explains our enemies
but where is all this coming from?
it must of been when i was young
those words you spoke over me
ident-ty

she stepped
though the door
down the hall
he made sure she didn’t say a word
he took off that red colored dress
my god she was so innocent
she remembers all the things that he whispered
he cut her down down like his zipper
you’ll never be worth it
far from perfect
a daughter of the king, that’s bull sh-t
now he’s touching on her noes
grabbing on her things
and told her “big girls don’t cry”
she’d rather show up in the circus
than show up in churchs

so love your neighbor as yourself
but what if you don’t love yourself?
well that explains my enemies
but where is all this coming from?
it must of been when i was young
those words you spoke over me
ident-ty

so love your neighbor as yourself
shout: what is there to love?
what if you don’t love yourself?
shout: when you’re not enough!

perspective. it’s all about perspective. you just never know what someone else has been through. so before we point fingers and before we judge, take a look in the mirror, take look in the mirror
if that was your story, if those were your circ-mstance, that could be you! that could be you
we are all flawed and we all need grace. father forgive us for we know not what we doe all need grace. father forgive us for we know not what we do
