"VBS" Lyrics:

In the summer of '07

I was sure I'd go to Heaven,

but I was hedging my bets

at VBS.

A preacher in a t-shirt

told me I could be a leader,

taught me how to build a fire,

and to spread the word.

In the evening everybody

went to worship and weep.

Hands above our heads,

reaching for God.

Back in the cabin,

snorting nutmeg in your bunkbed,

you were waiting for a revelation

of your own.

Sedentary secrets

like peach pits in your gut,

locked away like jam jars

in the cellar of your heart,

waiting to be tasted

and ultimately wasted.

You were gonna win me over

from the start.

Your poetry was so bad,

it took a lot to not laugh.

You said that I showed you the light,

but all it did,

in the end,

was make the dark feel

darker than before.

Your dad keeps his sleeves down

through the summer for a reason.

Your mother wears her makeup

extra thick for a reason.

When I tell you, you were born

and you are here for a reason,

you are not convinced the reason

is a good one.

While you're going to sleep

your mind keeps you awake,

and it makes your heart beat

fast and loud.

There's nothing you can do,

but the only thing you found:

playing Slayer at full volume helps

to drown it out.

Your poetry was so bad,

it took a lot to not laugh.

You said that I showed you the light,

but all it did,

in the end,

was make the dark feel

darker than before.

Dark feel darker than before.

Dark feel darker than before.
