[Verse 1]
The flame's been dwindling down since the fire started
The light they talk about ain't seem as bright these days, no
Church pews made of worn-down wood are holding you so still
The writing's on the pulpit ain't enough for this hole to fill, no
[Verse 2]
The Sunday breakfast served a bunch of gossip from the preachers
The old widowed woman's busy looking for the truth
Well I backslid a couple thousand times, nothing seemed to change
Pull the blinds back a little bit you'll see everyone's the same, woah-oh
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been losing faith since I've had it
I bet that's hard for you to imagine since you live a perfect sinless life
And I've been down some dead-end roads
I climb a mountain, still feel low
And there you stand with bloody hands with your head held high
[Verse 3]
I thought the deacons had the burden of acting decent
So why the hell did half of them cheat on all their wives?
Well this ain't a way of living that I'm very fond of
Practice what you preach, then maybe my soul isn't too far gone, no
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been losing faith since I've had it
I bet that's hard for you to imagine since you live a perfect sinless life
And I've been down some dead-end roads
I climb a mountain, still feel low
And there you stand with bloody hands with your head held high
The flame's been dwindling down since the fire started
The light they talk about ain't seem as bright these days, no
Church pews made of worn-down wood are holding you so still
The writing's on the pulpit ain't enough for this hole to fill, no
