6 | Now the ticking clocks scare me. \ | ||
7 | The empty rooms, clock towers, belfries; \ | ||
8 | I am terrified by them all. | ||

10 | I really used to enjoy going to church, \ | ||
11 | singing in the choir, listening to the sermon. \ | ||
12 | Now the chairs squeal like dying pigs--- | ||

16 | in the grass, rooting for God \ | ||
17 | knows what, finding me instead. | ||

20 | not looking for his pursuit of me. \ | ||
21 | I ran to God's front door, found \ | ||
22 | it locked, found the house empty | ||
