Conditional from Talking Circles by Chasing September

I was raised
To believe in an afterlife
So be good or else
You will burn in hell
Now I know
It’s an act of desperation
Controlling me with threats
And empty promises

It took years to write
My book of revelations
Exposing their intentions
Cruel manipulations
It’s all about control
Fear, shame, and guilt
My mask begins to crack
I’m dreaming of escape

Now I know
Some love’s conditional
Mouths filled with lies
Can’t live authentic lives
Won’t give up
I’m happier this way
The world’s not black and white
We live in shades of grey

So thank god that nothing really matters
I’m done with disappointment
No reason to feel ashamed
I’ll find my way
I’ll choose my destination
We only get one life
Don’t let it pass you by

Now I know
Some love’s conditional
Mouths filled with lies
Can’t live authentic lives
Won’t give up
I’m happier this way
The world’s not black and white
We live in shades of grey

Now I know
Some love’s conditional
Mouths filled with lies
Can’t live authentic lives
Won’t give up
I’m happier this way
The world’s not black and white
We live in shades of grey
