Red Herring Lyrics by Maewyn

When You Get to Heaven

2023

Picking out the atom moments
Where you could see the decay
Pulling at the fabric holding
Your vows all taped in place
Do us part, make and mold us
Into what they think we should be
We stand at the altar, pure and potent
Then we trip into this grave

We used to pray
We used to sit and pray

Now we sit, and we starve
At a loveless empty plate
It's impure, and unholy
Lord bless this food, we say

But you spit, on the frame
Of a marital bed unmade
Because she lays wherе my mother did
And you call yourself a saint

And you call yourself a saint

You lay on your back
As it rips thе skin from your bones
You tell them you're sorry
But they already know
That it's not your fault

You should be ashamed
You should be ashamed
You should be ashamed

We used to pray
We used to sit and pray
But now we scream until we cough up blood
You take from us, but it's not enough
We used to sit and pray
