Fear of God

Fear of God
Growing up was a chapel, with me in the pew
Daddy tells me to listen, I do
Bow your head, fold your hands
And repeat after me
Dear Jesus I need rescuing
With a mind like a sponge
And a heart made of jewels
I believed all the words of these fools.
Who am I do deserve, who am I to be me?
I’m a sinner.
A bad human being.
King Solomon’s cutting a baby in half
As he’s sitting up high on his throne.
It’s so hard to believe when you’re down on your knees.
You put the fear of God in me.
I’m a bad little girl
And I’m letting you down
Wasn’t a boy and my voice is too loud.
Shut your mouth and lean over
My word is the law.
Hold it in and forget what you saw.
King Solomon’s cutting a baby in half
As he’s sitting up high on his throne.
It’s so hard to believe when you’re down on your knees.
You put the fear of God in me.
When I close my eyes, there’s a sad little kid
And I don’t understand what I did.
I feel guilty for telling you mostly in song.
The truth is, I feel I don’t belong.
King Solomon’s cutting a baby in half
As he’s sitting up high on his throne.
It’s so hard to believe when you’re down on your knees.
You put the fear of God in me.
