Lyrics for Crucify
Every finger in the room is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces, then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in Just what God needs, one more victim Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, every day I crucify myself My heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh Chains, oh oh oh Got a kick for a dog, begging for love I gotta have myself a ring so that I can have my cross I know a cat named Easter, he says "will you ever learn" You're just an empty cage, girl, if you kill the bird I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in Got enough guilt to start my own religion Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, oh every day I crucify myself My heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh Chains, oh oh oh Please be Save me I cry Uh-huh, uh-huh Looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in Where are those angels, when you need them? Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day? I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you I crucify myself, oh every day I crucify myself And my heart is sick of being I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh Chains, why do we Chains Crucify ourselves Every day Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah Oh, chains Oh, yeah Yeah, chains Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah Never going back again, oh Crucify myself again, you know Never going back again to crucify myself, every day
