Pages - Stephanie Rice

Living a lie, tellin' me that when I die

The book won’t have my name

Won’t even say a thing 'bout me inside

You’re on the line

Tell me, «Go back and hide

You know this isn’t you

You got everything to lose

Follow your pride»

Father, must not know your daughter

Not afraid of you, I’m not afraid of any altar

Guess you don’t know me well

Telling me that I need help

Handing me some dusty books

You never read your damn self

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

Go on and let them judge, judge us

All I’m guilty of, guilty of is love

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m guilty of love

Blowing balloons for a party I never went to

Sorry that I wasn’t there

But they didn’t want me there

Sad, but it’s true

Hate her, must not love your neighbor

Not afraid of you, I’m not afraid of any savior

Guess you don’t know me well

Telling me that I need help

Handing me some dusty books

Saying I’m going to hell

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

Go on and let them judge, judge us

All I’m guilty of, guilty of is love

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m guilty of love

But you took me to your revival

Preachin' from your dusty Bible

Might as well hand me the rifle

Tellin' me about survival

Tellin' me I’m not welcome here

I’m a sinner, a queer

Time to get on the floor

Time to ask for forgiveness, some more

Sitting safely behind your screen

Telling me that I deserve to bleed

Using your words as an offering

So when you bow down before your King

You can show Him your hands

That your hands are clean

But I’m drowning

In the name of Jesus, you’re killing me

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

Go on and let them judge, judge us

All I’m guilty of, guilty of is love

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)

I’m guilty of love (Guilty of love)

I’m guilty of love (Guilty of love)

Go on and let them judge, judge us

All I’m guilty of, guilty of is love

So I’m writing my own pages (Ooh-oh)
