I Repent
I repent, i repent of my pursuit of america's dream
i repent, i repent of living like i deserve anything of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife in our suburb where we're safe and white i am wrong and of these things i repent
i repent, i repent of parading my liberty i repent. i repent of paying for what i get for free
and for the way i believe that i am living right by trading sins for others that are easier to hide i am wrong and of these things i repent
bridge
i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep of wearing righteousness like a disguise to see through the planks in my own eyes
i repent, i repent of trading truth for false unity i repent, i repent of confusing peace and idolatry by caring more of what they think than what i know of what we need by domesticating you until you look just like me
i am wrong and of these things i repent
