I went to church today
Its been a while
Used to be every Sunday

I went to church today
Did not bother to wear my best
For what could impress a god?

I went to church today
Though I wouldn't of if I'd had my way
And I really did not want to stay
Not with my hands shaking that way...

I sang at church today
Not for joy or really at all
I mouthed the words
So no attention would I draw....

I listen to a sermon today
And envied the conviction behind the words
But it was not in me to believe
Any of the “truth” I heard...

I sat in church today
Surrounded and yet all alone
And I marveled that such a place
Could've ever been one that I called “home”
