Lyrics for Saints Around My Neck
Everyone's sick With saints 'round their necks Professing themselves And taking their pills I'm falling down I've lost my crown I can't confess With saints 'round my neck Saints around my neck Saints around my neck I can't even breathe Why don't you shock me? You don't believe my warnings Why don't you show me? My cards are strong They're never wrong You were a sign And this is a warning I would rather take in free And I'm still not free I would rather take in free And I'm still not free Still, can't see What have I done? Something is wrong Should I have known Phaedra is gone Everyone's sick With saints around their necks Defending themselves And taking their pills Well, I'm falling down I lost my crown I can't confess With saints around my neck I can't even breathe Something is choking me Is this a warning? Why don't you show me? My cards are strong But I'm always wrong You were a sign Without even knowing Everyone's sick But I'm over it Resenting the friends Making amends I've lost my crown And I'm losing ground Well, I can't confess With saints around my neck
