Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My flesh, oh no
It's not me that you want
My blood, my Lord
I didn't wish to be born
[Chorus]
This is obscene, it's only in my dreams, where I hear you go
"You're sacrosanct, I thought I'd let you know"
No one knows you put a broken soul in a child's bones
I'll hold my shame and I'll take the blows
[Verse 2]
My son, oh God
It's not him that you want
I'll cave, why me?
I'd never choose to be your saint
[Chorus]
This is obscene, it's only in my dreams, where I hear you go
"You're sacrosanct, I thought I'd let you know"
No one knows you put a broken soul in a child's bones
I'll hold my shame and I'll take the blows
[Instrumental]
This is obscene, it's only in my dreams, where I hear you go
"You're sacrosanct, I thought I'd let you know"
No one knows you put a broken soul in a child's bones
I'll hold my shame and I'll take the blows
I'll hold my shame and I'll take the blows
