Neuma - Slipping Lyrics

It's a slippery slope
Dealing with these inner doubts
On your way trying to cope
I mean, is this even really something I can call my own?
Or just a comfort blanket that I use
'Cause I'm far from home?
I been the distance
Done my duties
Still feel like a misfit
I hate the smugness of the church
But when I leave, I miss it
And if there's doubt in what I mean
Well let me get explicit
Feel like I'm caught up in a lie
And your God's complicit!
I'm done with this!
Enough of living to your standards
Just a bunch of hypocrites cherrypicking
The commandments
And even worse is how you're living for the cameras
Stealing from the poor
And making off like some bandits
I'm done with this
Enough of man-made religion
Don't need another man to scrutinise how I'm living
I got my God, I got my life
You tell me what I need
Only God can judge me
Yeah, I'm finally free

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper

It's been a long time coming
And you've probably seen it
But then again kept it hidden
So you wouldn't deem it
Less than adequate
And point the finger at the heathen
Yeah, that's me
But you'll forgive me second guessing what I can't see
But told by faith the believe
If it don't match my head and my heart
Why should I believe?
Can you tell me the origins?
Or is it just falling into line
With what you say because you're dominant?
The arrogance is obvious
Sugarcoat your God 'cause his real face is ominious
The point us to the Son 'cause the Father is harming us
Murder, genocide
But you're telling me he's marvellous?
I'll use my brain thank you very much
You're skipping over logic
Like cerebral Double Dutch
I see it very clear, don't you?
Just because two billion believe it
Don't make a lie true

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper

World!
Can you hear me when I'm calling?
Feels like the sky is falling
And while we at it
Got a bone to pick
I've got a story
Better listen while I'm telling it
Why did we leave the Garden?
Did you know the whole time that we'd sin regardless?
I'll have to beg your pardon
It's more than kind of cruel
I would call it heartless
Where you come off
Creating a world that's so sawed off
Blowing holes in our hearts?
It's all part of
Your divine plan?
Let me see if I understand
You're happy to be the man
Receive our worship and demand our loyalty?
But when it hits the fan
You blame us and bury your head in the sand
Now it's you on the stand!
Mankind's the jury
Hereby sentences to death
You will suffer our fury

This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper
