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

and 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

i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep

of wearing righteousness like a disguise

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

by caring more of what they think than what i know of what we need

by domesticating you until you look just like me

i am wrong and of these things i repent
