Deconversion Story Songtext
von Too Bad Eugene

She moved out to a SoCal beach town from the Bible belt
And got a job at a megachurch cause she was pretty
She was a daddy′s girl debutante southern belle
But California offered new identities

They loved her sweet smile so they put her on the stage
But something was amiss within her soul
She worked her heart out and they took everything she gave
But spiritual neglect will take its toll

Just after Christmas time she left that awful job
You don't ever wanna see how the sausage gets made
But now all the folks back home are hounding her like the mob
Cause she ain′t been to any church in many Sundays


She tells them what she's seen has made her lose her faith
A faith that always saw in black and white
She wants to see the world in more colors and shades
So she's walking away tonight

And the world seems bigger
Like she′s first opening her eyes
And the light gives her a new vigor
To live out a fuller life and leave old things behind

And I wonder if ten years from now
She′ll look back and see how
She threw more than bathwater out

Tonight this world seems so much bigger
Like she's first opening her eyes
Yeah tonight this girl′s found a new vigor
And ready for a fuller life
But time pulls on its trigger
Shooting down those tales we write of our lives
