Original Sin

Written by C Hues

It’s always better when you’re numb.
Each second, start subtracting sum.
Remember when you couldn’t count?
You fall to fear as your sins mount. 

Remember back when you would tally?
It seemed your peak was others’ valleys.
You fall to fear as you just question.
Each second spent is second guessin’.

You fall to fear for your heart’s hardened.
Each second blamed back to the garden.
Remember when mistakes were yours?
It seems you don’t, you want a war.

Each second, slip into the madness.
You fall to fear and fear brings sadness.
It’s sin that pastor says has cursed you.
Remember that Church makes a worse you.
