Whale Bones - Cult Leader Lyrics

Truly you are something more deceptive
While posturing as something more serene
You're feigning purity with an immaculate veneer
To lure in your congregation
Blessed are the ones in your favor
Lost are those upon a different path
Retribution served without relenting
The penitent deserving of your wrath
Realign the past so it's convenient
Help them realize who they can't trust
Introducing guilt replacing reason
Manipulate with fear so they can't judge
If this is normal
This is normal
This is normal
This is normal
I didn't ask for your screaming
The disdain that you poured on me
You're withholding unfeeling
But you take when that's what you want to be
Poisoned words and despair
Cause that's all that you were
Every sound defeating
An apostate retreating
I was once a vessel for your bidding
Pining just to dedicate my love
I was once so trusting and committing
Giving into everything you judged
Gradually I realized the pattern
Cautiously I pleaded for no more
Desperate I attempted to maintain worth
But you excommunicate me from your world
There is no compromise
I am compromised
There is no compromise
I am compromised
There is no compromise
I am compromised
There is no compromise
I am compromised
