lyrics

I wish I could live without you in my life
and I wish I never heard about you or made you my wife
but you're drilled in my mind and that's where you are most of the time.

so, I dream of how things could've been
if I was raised in a different country
would I still be going to Hell if I was raised in Africa?
because I was never force-feed from the pulpit and forced to live a life of guilt.

let the preacher preach about what he's only read in a book.
I just want to be free
let me off your condemning hook,
cause I don't believe your book no more.

now, I live without you in my head
but still bare crosses
from all the lies I believe that you said
I don't care if I'm a sinner, I was still beautifully made.

I am still beautifully made.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
