A song I wrote about my parents.

I am not a professional musician, I am a broken human being.

"Ever since I was a little child,

I asked my mother why we believe in god.

She told me that he loves us, with a smile...

But that answer always kind of struck me as a little odd.

Because I was a better reader than my parents.

The bible's god and their god weren't the same.

Any honest kid can see there is no defense

For the psycho who will kill you if you mispronounce his name!

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

Maybe if you ever had a real friend,

You would understand just what you took.

But jesus pleased you more than your own children,

So you sacrificed us all to the death god in your stupid book!

You never ever really learned what love is.

You sold us for your own disgusting lie.

You used VIOLENCE on your BABIES to ENFORCE it

And it ruined my whole goddam motherfucking ONLY LIFE!!!

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

I guess I'll do my best to wind this song down.

Thinking about you makes me want to scream.

So before I go, let me alert the whole town:

To never let your children close to JOHN STOWE or CHRISTINE.

Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME-

...

Because these two are the FUCKERS who ABUSED ME.

I begged for them to stop, they told me "NO".

So if you, my friends, could all join me in cursing

Until my dying breath, the liars: JOHN AND CHRISTINE STOWE.

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

There ain't no hate like christian "love".

That ain't love...

That ain't love.

When all you have to be is honest, LYING IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is patient, VIOLENCE IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is GIVING, TAKING IS NOT LOVE.

When all you have to be is LOVING, HATRED IS NOT LOVE.

...and FUCK YOU. for RUINING my life."

Fuck dude, just ... fuck. I'm sorry you had to endure this, and I hope you can heal one day. Rather sooner than later, if I had to decide.

Thank you. I suspect I will be dealing with echoes of my trauma all my life. I have to remind myself that my parents were and are wrong, that I do not deserve to be hit. I have dealt with suicidal ideations all my life, my parents were hurting me before I could consciously understand anything.

The abrahamic faiths are death cults and should be opposed. What happened to me and worse is still happening to others all over the world.
