Backlash Lyrics

You've chased me down.
You've found me out.
You've pulled my hair.
You've made me shout
Obscenities at the top of my lungs
'cause it's so damn fun.
'cause it's so damn fun.

Am I drowning in the things I've said?
Have I lost you in the doubts I've had?
Will you backlash now,
Or offer some proof
That book you are quoting
Is absolute truth?

You've seen me push.
You've helped me shove.
I've taken more,
Though I've had enough.
I've bitten off heads.
I've eaten my young.
I've acted on instinct,
Though you said I have none.

Am I rubbing you in just the wrong place?
Did I blaspheme you with my lack of taste?
Will you backlash now,
Or will you, in fact,
Reveal your mercy
And leave me intact?

You've made me fight
Then watched me fail.
Just waiving my arms
Through the bars on your jail.
I've rallied my strength,
Still chained to this wall...
Still screaming cold truth,
But you hear nothing.

Am I asking for a mouth full of soap?
Have I done something to offend your pope?
Will you backlash now,
Or will you explain,
Just how the almighty
Is making these claims?
