I woke up thinking God is real, but against us Pray for what you dont want Reverse theology Ill pray for freedom Because no matter how much I say I want it Im still getting led around by a cigarette Or anger or fear Take your pick I dont give a shit And I wish it werent true But to get free we have to start with whats true I think [Chorus] And if I have to tell you that whats real is terrible Maybe youre in the wrong place If I have to tell you that whats true is terrible Maybe youre in the wrong place Because Ive done horrible things to wonderful people Ive let horrible people stay living Ive looked my family in the eye and told them Leave me to die, or Ill make you sorry you didnt. Ive stolen from people who didnt deserve it Ive not helped people who did Ive turned away when I knew I made a mistake Instead of dealing with it Ive wasted good chances Ive had in this life That other people wont even get I put off setting things right with Andy And now hes dead But if we can stay one inch this side of dying The most terrible things we can imagine can happen And our breath will carry us forward When we dont have the strength to carry ourselves And well get another chance at not spreading misery At least for today [Chorus] And If I have to tell you that we are beautiful Maybe youre in the right place And If I ever forget that we are beautiful I hope youre here to remind me If I have to tell you that we are beautiful I hope youll stick around until you can see it
