I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I don't believe in heaven or hell
I don't need a god or Jesus
I'm too young to find myself
I'm too young to need a reason x4
It's one thing to be a lion
Another to be a slave
You won't find my hands together
Calling "Hallowed be thy name"
I'm sure I'll be all right
Without what you percieve
To be wrong and right
And who's to say that's not ok?
Who's to say that's not ok?
I don't believe in heaven or hell
I don't need a god or Jesus
I'm too young to find myself
I'm too young to need a reason x2
I make my own mistakes
And I make my own decisions
I don't feel the need to change
Fit myself into your vision
Don't want deliverance from evil
And I don't want your forgiveness
Don't need prayers to save my soul
Mark me as a sinner
I don't need a god or Jesus
I'm too young to find myself
I'm too young to need a reason x4
It's one thing to be a lion
Another to be a slave
You won't find my hands together
Calling "Hallowed be thy name"
I'm sure I'll be all right
Without what you percieve
To be wrong and right
And who's to say that's not ok?
Who's to say that's not ok?
I don't believe in heaven or hell
I don't need a god or Jesus
I'm too young to find myself
I'm too young to need a reason x2
I make my own mistakes
And I make my own decisions
I don't feel the need to change
Fit myself into your vision
Don't want deliverance from evil
And I don't want your forgiveness
Don't need prayers to save my soul
Mark me as a sinner
