about

This is a flashback to when Ovn was 17 years old and growing up in a “Cult Cove.” The “monologue” introduction are some of the things the Cult's leader had told Ovn. Ovn was ridiculed for his interest in biology, science, and curiosity. These cults are religious organizations and humiliated Ovn as a means to keep him in the faith. This song is when Ovn officially rejects the cult confronting its leader and leaves.

lyrics

Three simple rules
Preach our faith
Stay within bounds
Obey the book
Obey
You are not capable of understanding his design
God’s plan is not yours to render
You will think differently when you stand before him on judgment day
We’ll pray for you

You will watch me tear open the sky
You are helpless against my foresight
I am not a pawn in someone else’s plan
I am a force you’re a fool to reprimand

UGH

I only grew without you
Without your god
Finally I’m free
Watch me survive on my own
I will be stronger alone

Fuck your code!
If I regret
At least I self-reflect

Fuck your code!
If I regret
At least I self-reflect

Blind to true fate, your life is a waste!
Blind to true fate, your life is a waste!
Blind to true fate, your life is a waste!

I am awake
I am awake
I am awake
Imagined men can’t own my life
