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
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
Just 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
Of caring more of what they think than what I know of what we need
Of domesticating you until you look just like me
I am wrong and of these things 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 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 Just 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 Of caring more of what they think than what I know of what we need Of domesticating you until you look just like me I am wrong and of these things I repent Explain Request ×
