I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross

Verse 1
I was born in the back of a bad decision
Mama prayed but the sky stayed quiet
Learned real quick forgiveness is expensive
And sin comes cheap if you’re willing to buy it
They taught me hell like it was a direction
Pointed south every time I asked why
Said boys like me don’t get resurrection
Just a short drop and a long goodbye
Pre-Chorus
They needed a villain, I fit the frame
Nails went in before I knew my name
Chorus
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Hung up for the sins that I never lost
Saints washed clean while I paid the cost
With a crown of rust and a faith gone soft
If heaven’s real, it’s got locked doors
And I learned real quick who mercy’s for
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Verse 2
Preacher’s son with a preacher’s smile
Learned how to lie in a holy way
They sold salvation by the mile
But kept forgiveness locked in a safe
I tried to walk that narrow road
Till the road started walking me
Every prayer felt like a loaded gun
Pointed straight at the worst of me
Pre-Chorus
Truth don’t shine under stained glass lies
Some men kneel, some men survive
Chorus
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Hung up for the sins that I never lost
Saints washed clean while I paid the cost
With a crown of rust and a faith gone soft
If heaven’s real, it’s got locked doors
And I learned real quick who mercy’s for
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Bridge
Maybe God don’t live in churches anymore
Maybe He’s drunk in a bar like me
Maybe heaven’s just a state of war
Between who you are and who you’re told to be
If loving wrong makes you damned inside
Then damn it, I loved honest and free
If grace is real, it missed my side
Or maybe grace looks just like me
Chorus (Last)
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Not a savior, just a sinner lost
Still breathing air I couldn’t afford
Still praying to a God that won’t talk
If there’s a judge behind those doors
He knows the truth and the scars I wore
I’m the devil that was crucified on the cross
Outro
No resurrection, no third-day lie
Just a man still staring at the sky
If this is hell, then I survived
With my soul intact and my eyes still wide

I'm to old to sin , maybe god damn government , about as far as it goes , you know throw away phones on adultery , way to much work . I can't afford a golden calf , so false gods are out of the question . I guess theirs always mafia credit cards on buying one . They should change there name from Capital one to Satan loves you . Can you put someone on the phone that speaks English , I don't understand a word you're saying . Don't tell me the call center is in a 3rd world country . Can we make this a 3 way call and thank Clinton . that makes no sense at all . The Studio I record at is called Comedy Central LLC .
Thanks

The other day I had an experience with a robotic phone system; I needed to make a call to an official center... well, the thing is, I'm usually a free spirit and rarely drink poisoned water, but that day... I lost my feathers, hahaha. Innocence is a valuable commodity that can be seized; it yields good returns, it's very manageable, and it secures the future of the wicked, just like the pockets of the poor, who, despite having nothing, are among the biggest money-makers in the world.
Well, after these rather depressing comments, I'll say hello again and wish you health and good friends!!!!! It's cold here although the snow wanders in other places, I think where you live there is a lot of it, Santa Claus will be delighted although I don't know what his reindeer are going to eat...😎
