the world is sick and all of us in it
so fight the cancer
fight the cancer
don't bow your head to it
the world is sick but it won't die from it
so fight the cancer
fight the cancer
don't bow your head to it
i'm afraid that i am me
and i had no say in this
i dare to be self-aware when ignorance is bliss
i never do the things i want
i do what i don't want to
i'm fortified for treachery and hopelessly untrue
remember when we were all small?
with stained-glass windows stretched up the walls
we listened to words we could not understand
as they echoed through the church halls
they stacked us up conveniently
and fed us from their tables
they deduced what we should know
because we weren't able
and as we grow we feel we know
the truth of where we've been
satiated by their oaths
dragged on the heels of holy men
lately i have found frustration among the incongruence
a movement of peasants and pacifists drowning in patriotic affluence
i feel as though i should do something but i'm staggered by the ramifications
they've baptized the empire into the church and heralded its sanctification
sometimes i feel as though i'm taking place outside of myself
but i'm afraid that i am me
i am me
i'm me
i'm me
"blessed are the meek" succumbs to "might makes right"
"turn the other cheek" succumbs to pre-emptive strike
"love your enemies" is fossilized beneath the frozen tundra
and "blessed are the poor in spirit" is devoured by "God bless America"
you file the children into the classrooms, make them stand and say an oath
and when we ask "should i love God or my country?"
you smile and tell us "both."
we've hidden the God we claim we serve and driven him beneath the floorboards
but i can still hear this still, small voice
and i can't take it anymore
Showbread is an American Christian rock band originating from Guyton, Georgia. Formed in 1997, the group has undergone numerous lineup changes throughout its history while maintaining its two founding members, Josh Dies and Patrick Porter. Dies serves as Showbread's primary songwriter and creative director, ensuring stylistic consistency despite the band's fluctuating roster. Until 2007, the band featured two lead vocalists, including Ivory Mobley. Josh Dies is also the author of the novels "The Spinal Cord Perception", "The Insect" and "Nevada". Showbread gained media attention in 2006 when a fan-made video for the song "Dead By Dawn" was posted on YouTube. The video, viewed by the band and shared on their website, sparked controversy surrounding Showbread's lyrical themes. According to former guitarist Matt Davis, the band's name originates from "a biblical reference that Jesus used to show how Christianity isn't so much about rules but about love".
