If You
Fear Cult Lyrics

I think I've found what I'm looking for
The singer has found someone they have been looking for

Behind those eyes an open door
The person being addressed has an easy to read expression

That vacant stare which I adore
The singer likes that the person being addressed is easy to control

I'm your slut, and you're my whore
The artist and the person being addressed have a sexually exploitative relationship

Spare yourself the aching heart
The artist is warning the person being addressed not to become emotionally invested

And spare yourself the pain
The singer is warning the person being addressed not to get hurt

Let us just make believe it's yesterday again
The singer wants to go back in time to when things were easier

And mother, if you're watching, look away
The artist is telling their mother not to watch what they're doing

And mother, if you're wondering, but don't know what to say
The artist is telling their mother not to ask any questions

I think I found what I'm looking for
The artist is certain they have found what will make them happy

So hit the lights and shut the door
The singer wants privacy so they can continue their exploitative relationship

Listen carefully here's the score
The artist is trying to make sure the person being addressed knows the rules

It sometimes makes me sick inside
The singer is often disgusted by their own life

Ashamed of a life that I must hide
The singer is ashamed of their behavior

I know you'll never understand
The singer doesn't expect the person being addressed to comprehend their situation

I'm sorry there's no wedding band
The artist admits that their relationship is not legitimate

But deep inside there's still that child
The artist feels like they are still innocent despite their behavior

Innocent in a world gone wild
The singer acknowledges that the world can be corrupt

Obedient of your moral code
The singer has tried to live by their upbringing

Scarred by a Christian overload
The artist has been negatively affected by too much adherence to Christian ideology

But still I live by truth and love
The artist believes in living an honest and caring life

I still have hopes in the above
The artist still has faith

I still have interest in the cross
The singer is still interested in Christianity

But mother if you're listening shut if off
The artist is telling their mother to stop paying attention to them

Just look away
The singer wants their mother to ignore their behavior

Just look away
The singer wants their mother to ignore their behavior

Just look away
The singer wants their mother to ignore their behavior
