you are dirty even when you are clean
smile, the tar is between your teeth
you're farther from grace than you're used to
oh the lies that the devil tells us
the smell of smoke lingers on your breath
from the burning that can't be put out inside you
rotting from the inside out
and He doesn't smile when He looks upon you
the hands, large and threatening
bear claws ripping at your zippers and buttons
they want to undress you
that is the measure of your worth
no one will see you for who you are
that pretty face hides an empty shell and
at the heart, you're nothing but a slut in sheep's clothing
these are the lies that the devil tells us.
