Hang Me On A Cross

Before my grandma died she liked to light a candle Then I'd start to pray 'cos she said I had to She swore it will protect me from the world's assholes They'll hang me on a cross with my wrists and ankles I always used to wonder what that's supposed to mean Innocently playing games, reading magazines Well nowadays I'm watching wars live on a stream It's true I learned the world isn't really as it seemed I used to go on walks chasing the horizon Now I go on walks when I'm out there striking Fighting for people, their equal rights Yeah the empathy that you acquire when you're also hiding 'cos something just didn't add up It's like something inside of me died If your inner kid is alive Please hear them out 'cos something just didn't add up It's like something inside of me died If your inner kid is alive Please hear them out 'cos after grandma died I didn't light more candles And I figured out who I think are assholes She wouldn't have accepted me the way I am so Hang me on a cross with my wrists and ankles Remember kid there's really nothing in this world you can't do Find yourself cos no one's gonna do it for you Everything they preach is just gonna destroy you Who the fuck you think you are that I'd live my life for you? Nowadays I always burn my fingers on these candles The world's always been ugly, just had to dismantle I pull up to the purge, ready for the stand-off Had to fight for my pride and learned to protect Now take your fucking hands off I'm sick of you prophets You're twisting the words of your god In reality you should be solving your problems That sit deep in your core Why do you think you can draw lines? Telling me what you think isn't wrong right? Indoctrinate me with all of your dumb lies blah You really thought that I'd be putting up with this? Hanging on shackles and keep me like a dog you bitches Really didn't think that I would take you off the list? Oh just 'cause you're blood doesn't mean you family You believe in god doesn't mean that it's my reality I was caught in bed with your biggest enemy Had him carve inside me yeah The fucking devil is a good lover But every time it came to an end "Father forgive me all my sins I repent" Covered in this shame my whole youth I would beg Mother please tell me that I'm totally normal, normal I just wanna be normal I swear I never intended to be a scandal Please tell me I'm normal, normal I just wanna be normal Pray for me next time you light a candle Before my grandma died she liked to light a candle Before my grandma died she liked to light a candle 'cos something just didn't add up It's like something inside of me died If your inner kid is alive Please hear them out (Hear them out) (Hear them out) (Hear them out)
