== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]<br>
A sleepless Sunday morning is nothing new to me<br>
There's something about that day that makes my body weak<br>
The itchy tights and dresses, the walls that make you burn<br>
The pain is necessary for a Godless child to learn<br>
<br>
When I was 8 they bathed me, their water made me pure<br>
What did an 8-year-old have to ask for forgiveness for?<br>
That painting made by man, the depicted divine<br>
If my life is spent in worship, then is it really mine?<br>
<br>
"How stupid could someone be to believe them?"<br>
"How stupid would you have to be to believe them?"<br>
I was that stupid, I am the one you demonize<br>
I was the one who suffered, and still stupid, in your eyes<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, temptation is too much<br>
Can't seem to keep my legs together<br>
Make me blessed, make me better<br>
<br>
[Verse 2]<br>
A sleepless Saturday night is nothing new to me<br>
Because, somewhere in my brain, I know the next day's coming<br>
A Pavlovian response to men carrying trays<br>
The deafening silence as all the kids pretend to pray<br>
<br>
They said the man in the sky who's always watching me<br>
With whiter clothes and paler skin than you have ever seen<br>
A man that I have never met and maybe never will<br>
They said that I must beg and weep for his forgiveness still<br>
<br>
They put me in their tank of water, it was wonderful<br>
One of the fish that Jesus fed them, still inside the bowl<br>
I cried inside the bathroom, my white dress got all wet<br>
If Jesus loves me now, then why do I feel so upset?<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, temptation is too much<br>
Can't seem to keep my story straight<br>
The God I love's a man I hate<br>
<br>
[Verse 3]<br>
A building of worship with cameras for safety<br>
A God that will love me will also berate me<br>
<br>
Even if you don't want to get to know him<br>
We're gonna make sure that you get to know him<br>
Even if you don't want to get to know him<br>
We're gonna make sure that you get to know him<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, expectation is too much<br>
You've broken my heart into pieces<br>
Maybe I no longer need it<br>
<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, temptation is too much<br>
Can't seem to keep my legs together<br>
Make me blessed, make me better<br>
<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, temptation is too much<br>
Can't seem to keep my legs together<br>
Make me blessed, make me better<br>
<br>
Heavenly father, please alter this body<br>
It's impure and sinful, I don't want it on me<br>
My skin is burning up, temptation is too much<br>
Can't seem to keep my legs together<br>
Make me blessed, make me better<br>
<br>
[Outro]<br>
I still get letters from them<br>
I don't know what to do<br>
I wanna be frustrated<br>
But I know they're victims too<br>
<br>
That part of my life is gone<br>
Let the screen fade to black<br>
"And so it came to pass,"<br>
That I am never looking back<br>
