An Institution

Its not the vows its what you create
Carry in your heart the golden rule
Or strip your spouse of all their worth
Consume them as they bend until they break

Pray not for the structure
Not some fucking institution
Common hatred is no one's desire
Step past the chains around your neck

It starts with our fucked up parents
But in the end no ones to blame but ourself
We gave in to distortion until we hit the bottom
Our only countermeasure was reverting to second nature
Consume them as they bend until they break

As another marriage fails
Pray not for the structure
But the defences victims of unrest
In this system gossip is life's great test
Peace consumed by the airwaves
Twitter text email message mess

Went to church for some peace and aid
With shame wrapped around your neck
No father or pulpit ever accepted you
Yet they love the gossip thats killin you
Its only for your children you don't bite the bullet
They consume as you bend until you break

Pray not for the structure
Not some fucking institution
Common hatred is no one's desire
Step past the chains around your neck
Your forever forgiven believe not the gossip lies
Someone's seeking your love and deliverance
Blame the system not wholly yourself

Marriage or civil union
I care not what your system fucking calls it
Allow everyone to carry their loved one's weight
Impede not the love or incur hatred amongst your future's debt
Peace exists in equality bind it around your liar's neck
