If being a nun would make my family proud, I’d do it.
I’d join the convent, make nunnery friends, and men...forget 'em.
Inquired about religious life when I was 10
I walked along the open road with a priest I befriended...
But it’s no use tryin' to make sense of it all
I tuned out the pulpit cause the pastor phoned it in too much
The lines under my eyes show
A decade of beads, sorrowful mysteries every night
Past wrinkles in time
I was shamed for wanting to be known
I know I tamed my demons but the bastards still live in my throat
Oh...I played saving victim for a year or
two or fifteen more past wrinkles….
When “heaven” is a low-vibration thought
I forgot how to make a sign of the cross
But the truth is I pretended I didn’t believe at all
Whatever. Amen.
Whatever. Amen.
