Cast Aside

Intro (whispered, distant)

Kneel.

Confess.

Obey.

Or be…

Cast aside.

Verse 1

Stained glass fractures in my hands

Your paradise built on shifting sand

You preached purity with bloodied teeth

While digging graves beneath my feet

Cathedrals echo hollow praise

I was caged inside your faith

You sold me fear as holy grace

Then turned your back to save your face

Pre-Chorus

Blind.

Led.

Fed me to wolves in shepherd’s threads.

Chorus

Bleed the faith — you carved me out

Silenced every word of doubt

False messiahs, plastic crowns

Left me buried underground

Bleed the faith — choke the lie

Watched your heaven pass me by

You built your throne on broken knees

Then threw the blame on me

You cast me aside.

Verse 2

I was praying through the abuse

While you twisted sacred truth

Confession booths and velvet threats

Forgiveness came with deep regrets

You branded me a heresy

For thinking differently

You called it love — conditional

Then made me disposable

Pre-Breakdown Build (faster, frantic)

Raise my hands

Close my eyes

Swallow doctrine

Sanctified

Question once

Crucified

Just for asking why

BREAKDOWN (slow. crushing.)

Tear.

It.

Down.

Rip the halo from the fraud

I was just another scar to god

You taught me fear

You fed me shame

Then cast me out

In His name

CAST.

ASIDE.

Bridge (clean but eerie)

If there was truth inside your ruin

You locked it far away from me

You buried every part of me

That didn’t fit your purity

Final Chorus (chaotic)

Bleed the faith — let it fall

You never cared for me at all

Every sermon soaked in blame

Every prayer just spoke my name

Bleed the faith — strip it bare

I found silence in your prayer

When I begged you let me stay

You just turned — and walked away

You cast me aside.
