TROPHYWIFE LYRICS

"God Collar"

The sun shone through his shoulders
The vision shined in his eyes
He was one of the chosen
The last of his kind
He spoke to everyman who listened
Their ears were his vice
He spread the good word as a messenger
One who claimed to see the light

He was so enlightened
In his mind he would die
Just to prove as loyal to his god
But no father a disguise
Put over the faces of the elders
Tired as they were of coping day to day
With the relentless threatening gaze
The wilderness they kept at bay
Their lovers would all be taken
For their children it was not safe to play
Out in a place of chaos surrounded by this haze
Unable to pierce the fog
They uncovered a blinding light
Called it something holy
Called it something pure
They had the vilest of feelings
As they turned to the lord
And it carried throughout

In their desperation and dismay
They sealed mans fate to this very day
At one time crusading for the land in his name
Well things have happened
Times have changed
There is a holy war over your mind
That land they fought for has run dry
Have you all run dry?

They took their greed and called it prophecy
They laid their schemes and shouted dynasty
I am not an outward mockery but I try to see the truth
Irony

The truth is they are beautiful
The truth is they are golden
Truth be told they hide their scars
The fellowship of thy kin
Building these houses on shaking stilts
It's harder to see the pillars
When you see the people growing between
The foundations are a rouse
I believe in the ground
Can you feel the morals on the back of your neck?
Does your conscious keep you to it?
Why do these sanctuaries seem so cold?
Remember you gave them
Remote control

I will never be a part of something beautiful
I'll be the ugly one
To show you all what the worlds become
The ugly one
Punished when I commit a sin
Like a dog that doesn't understand
The ugly one
I'll be the ugly one.
