Shallow Grave Deity - Intellectual

Buried in the shallow grave of my mind

Bearing the cross of a savior I can not see

Living the life of a saint that I can not be

Preaching the word of book I can not hold true

Praying the prayers of a false hope out of my view

Shallow grave deity

Over and over and over again I’m told to walk by faith and reach for his hand

But I am walking blindly straight towards the fire

But my hand’s still empty

I wallow in mire

Shallow grave deity

I can’t believe in a savior I can not see

I can’t worship a god who’s words remain unspoken

I’ve wasted my whole life

Living the lies of the non existent

Gods not dead he never lived to begin with

The illusion of god

Buried in the shallow graves of our minds

Reaching out from the waste

Grabbing the feet of those who tread above

Shallow grave deity
