When You Make Humans Gods

I saw you hold a candle to your god and exclaim his imperfections
And in that moment I decided that I would forever follow you

I heard you say that the world wasn't broken, the people were
And in that moment I swore to help you right their wrongs

I felt your touch in every moment of my despair
As if you knew what kept me there

But then I saw you worshiping a doctrine I didn't know you subscribed
And in that moment I decided to find all you try to hide

But then I heard you say that people didn't need fixing, laws did
As if laws made morals and not the other way around

And then I knew why I felt your touch in every moment of despair
Because you knew exactly how to put me there
