Thesaurus Rex - Excommunicated

★ Verse ★
I wait on your reception line
As yes men and their yas queens kiss your ring
Like Christ has risen
'Cause baby hit the algorithm

You don't have any substance
But you got a lot of bread and holy wine
Divine creation
Call it transubstantiation

Your following is swallowing
Your body but I'm not here to be saved
I want an explanation
I've been excommunicated

★ Chorus ★
Tick tock, kid
You're getting older by the second
Tick tock, kid
You know you gotta die to go to heaven, oh
Maybe it's an understatement
I think you're overrated
Excuse me if it's sacrilegious
I'vе been excommunicated

★ Verse ★
You werе like my brother
But you traded me for buzzards by your feet
I can't believe you sold your soul
To be a culture vulture

You've been holy ghosting me
Posting but you don't pick up your phone
As I reach your throne
There's suddenly a change of tone

You say you miss me
Yeah, I miss you too
You lean in whispering
"Just do here what you came here to do"

I kiss your cheek
I turn and leave
You feel the traitors all around you
Pulling swords from their sheaths

★ Chorus ★
Tick tock, kid
You're getting older by the second
Tick tock, kid
You know you gotta die to go to heaven, oh
Maybe it's an understatement
I think you're overrated
Excuse me if it's sacrilegious
I've been excommunicated

★ Outro ★
Tick tock, kid
Oh, you know you gotta die to go to heaven
Maybe you're
Overrated

Your radio silence
You're paid to be pious
It's nauseating
I've been excommunicated
