Cheap Grace

from Dissociate by Caverns Of Pine

lyrics

Those of us
Wounded young
Don't sing cheap grace
So save your hymns
Your homilies
They never give without taking
It's their vanity
That makes them say
It's all part of some big plan

Suffering is not divine
It's bone and blood and fear and shame
To adorn is to deny

Sadists mark the righteous path
Turning harms to their own ends
Inflict and be absolved

Forgiveness ain't a deal you make
It's earned from toil, truth, and time
If it comes at all

They come because they're scared
They come to brandish swords
And they ain't saved just ‘cause they say.
WE say...

None of us!
Ever asked for this
To be vessels for sacrifice preserving all these lies
For us!
Who chip at these idols
We do it for dignity We do it to stay alive
