Thread: Preach Daughter Preach

I found out you were the preachers daughter
a little girl who had two fathers
and I looked at you as an untainable prize
One who would never fall in love with my lies

But your eyes didn't see them at all
and eventually my heart did fall in love with you
That may have been my only truth...

I am not a miracle worker
I am just the thread within the chair
I am not your prayer granter
I am just an open ear

Am I holier than thou?

Let the dust climb off your shoulders
and let the world lift from your head
It's not you that he's taking care of
It's just me that he's denying love.

You might be the preachers daughter
The loving child of two fathers
But they can't offer you my world
My world filled with sin
it's like candy, or a pit you fell in

I am not a miracle worker
I'm just the thread within the chair,
I am not your prayer granter
I am just an open ear.

Am I holier than thou?

I had you and I let you go
You had me but you didn't know
You chose love from more than a man
and I chose pleasure I get from only sin.

So now that means we are done
because in a few weeks i'll be permanently gone...
but if your god really hates you
then one day you'll cross paths with me... (then you will see)

You are not a miracle worker
your just the shattered glass on the mirror
You are not the all mighty hand
You are just another finger of sin....

Then you'll find yourself asking questions
about your true identity
Could you really be so foul
Could I really be holier than thou?

No I am not a miracle worker
I am just the thread in the chair
No I am not your prayer granter
I am just an open ear...

I'm just holier than thou

The title drew me in big time...The first sentence was perfect...I liked this a lot...very nice..

Thanks terrib, i almost called it Holier than thou, but since Metallica already has a song titled that I felt like i had to get a little more original

I loved how it started. Should break up the fourth line into a fourth and fifth.
I'd re-edit the entire piece. Vocalize it. You might see what I see. You might still like it good how it is. Reminder: I have no reading rhythm
