Deconversion Story Lyrics

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
