Naive Songtext

Naive Songtext
Religion is a breeding ground
Where the devil′s work is deeply found
With teeth as sharp as cathedral spires
Slowly sinking in
God knows that I've been naïve
But I think it makes him proud of me
Now it′s so hard to separate
My disappointments from his Name
Because shadows stretch behind the truth
Where stained glass offers broken clues
And fear ties knots and pulls them tight
It leaves us paralyzed
But in the end such tired words will rest
The truth will reroute the narrow things they've said
The marionette strings will lower and untie
And out of the ashes, love will be realized
God knows that we've been naive
And a bit nearsighted, to say the least
It′s broken glass at children′s feet
That gets swept aside unexpectedly
Where the devil′s work is deeply found
With teeth as sharp as cathedral spires
Slowly sinking in
God knows that I've been naïve
But I think it makes him proud of me
Now it′s so hard to separate
My disappointments from his Name
Because shadows stretch behind the truth
Where stained glass offers broken clues
And fear ties knots and pulls them tight
It leaves us paralyzed
But in the end such tired words will rest
The truth will reroute the narrow things they've said
The marionette strings will lower and untie
And out of the ashes, love will be realized
God knows that we've been naive
And a bit nearsighted, to say the least
It′s broken glass at children′s feet
That gets swept aside unexpectedly
