obviously the title says it all, its about god and organized religion...

In case it gets away from us Don’t pull it close, (i think this is talking about if you loose faith dont bring it back) the damage revealed the cost And it wasn’t worth it, but they’ll never know (this refers to sinning i think, if you sin you damage your relationship with god, hes saying its not worth caring about, but the people who do have these relationships dont relaize it) To keep in mind the line that separates idols (hes pretty much questioning peoples belief in god) If the world is a dream and nothing is worth it(this line is bone chillin because i said the same thing to a friend, of how your life is pretty much a dream because if you dont put faith in god and dont believe then when you do all of this will mean nothing, just like when you wake up from a dream) Unless you have a god. (We’re all going to hell) (hes saying you have no hope if youre like him and dont belive in god) But we wont be saved we’ll live as slaves to love (hes saying he wont put his faith in god, hell do what he wants and loves to do regardless of if its sinning? not sure bout that one) What god takes away, let’s refill all your holes with mud (i htink this comes from peoples belief that everything is fate determined by god and hes saying that he wont let this hapen hell just keep moving on and overcoming) “Purchase your tickets; I’m kicking your crosses down” (hes saying keep putting your faith cuz it means nothing, religin is hopeless) And all the voices sound just like you I’ll be there- Breathe in- (hes saying he always believed it was true taht god was there hed try not to sin and it would sem like god would help but no help came form his problems)

It’s been so long (I’ve felt so wrong again) (its been a long time hes been sinning, he needs that presence of god)

I fixed myself up nice but you never came (he tried to remain and put faith once again, but still received no signs from god)

The words rolled off our backs and sound the same I’ll be waiting- I hope that it’s worth it but I’ll never know (he keeps tryin the same thing being told the same thing, but hes still gonna keep putting faith and trying even tho he feels, god will never come hes still gonna take that chance because he needs him there

I think "if it gets away from us, dont pull it closer" refers to teachings of god..

"the damage revealed the cost, and it wasnt worth it but they'll never know" maybe talking about his confusion in religion and him trying to beleive.. but hes saying strong beleivers wont ever see what he sees..

"to keep in mind the line that seperates idols" im not sure but maybe imagining god for something hes not like anthony doesnt see him as being as great as everybody says

"if the world is a dream, and nothing...
