VBS

In the summer of '07, I was sure I'd go to heaven
 But I was hedging my bets at VBS
 The preacher in a T-shirt told me I could be a leader
 Taught me how to build a fire and to spread the word
 ♪
 In the evening, everybody went to worship and weep
 Hands above our heads reaching for God
 Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunk bed
 You were waiting for a revelation of your own
 ♪
 Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut
 Locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your heart
 Waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted
 You were gonna win me over from the start
 ♪
 Your poetry was so bad, it took a lot to not laugh
 You say that I showed you the light
 But all it did in the end
 Was make the dark feel darker than before
 ♪
 Your dad keeps his sleeves down through the summer for a reason
 Your mother wears her makeup extra thick for a reason
 When I tell you you were born and you are here for a reason
 You are not convinced the reason is a good one
 ♪
 While you're going to sleep, your mind keeps you awake
 And it makes your heart beat fast and loud
 There's nothing you can do, but the only thing you've found
 Playing Slayer at full volume helps to drown it out
 ♪
 Your poetry was so bad, it took a lot to not laugh
 You say that I showed you the light
 But all it did in the end
 Was make the dark feel darker than before
 Dark feel darker than before
 Dark feel darker than before
