lyrics

Tonight I'm burning down your alter
And everything that brought us here
Raking my body over a splintered world
To help you understand the things that you once feared

You put your faith in anything
Bending your knees underneath a porcelain dream
I've been screaming in protest for years
But no one's fucking listening

And I was right there with you
Under your cross, praying for death
And I was right there with you
Masked with medicine and shortsighted views

The march of a million dead telling you
"This is the way"
Carving out your numbered days
On the lids of waiting graves

What if I drowned the same way that you saved me?
Breathing death into my mouth
A coward's lie was never meant to break me
Throwing bricks from inside a glass house

And I was right there with you
Under your cross, praying for death
And I was right there with you
Masked with medicine and shortsighted views

2,000 years of deceit
Cast over the eyes
Of you and me
And as the chorus of the choir
Sings me to sleep
I'll bear the burden of your suffering
