lyrics

There's only so much I can take
While rooted in this permanence
The pain required to stay awake
Isn't worth the new experience

You transcend the jury, with
Religious imagery
It only strengthens the bond
Between right and wrong
Francis, you're the antithesis of a love song

There's nothing more that I can say
When it's faith before truth every time
I can't keep the beast at bay
A thousand clocks in sync, but none of them are mine

You ignite the crosses
With salvation promises
They only speak to your dishonesty
Your pious incantations
Your righteous indignation
Francis, they are lost on me

I doubt you'll ever repent
Your faith was just a means to an end
To assist the deceit
Of a sinner, and a cheat

I renounce the jury
These religious allegories
Wore thin long ago
Oh, Francis
