Be Your Own God
Agathocles · Peel Sessions [2010]
Religions tell us what to do
dependency - be your own god
god or demon, all the same
insecurity - be your own god.
sacrifice for fairy tales
stupidity - be your own god
the worship of creatures in our minds fantasy - be your own god.
there's no fucking shit
it's all a fucking myth.
