about

Do you believe?

lyrics

Everybody loves a lie
Rest your hands on the back of my hips

I don't know how to pray
All these words in my head
I don't know what to say
That hasn't already been said

The sour taste of dying faster
There is nothing by design
A God who makes slaves and masters
How many times you cross the line

Confessions don't wipe the slate
The blood drips, always alive
Imagine yourself at the pearly gates
What did you give up to survive

Raise your palms to the sky
Mercy means you give a shit
Bow your head, shut your eyes
Beg forgiveness for all of it

Lord who, Lord who
Who decides, who decides
Who lives Who lives
Who dies who dies
Lord why Lord why
Why the mercy, why the mercy
Lord when it's
Lord when it's all a lie

Your alter ego dressed in black
Face a blur in the shadow
Plays the piano in the back
I told the truth; I had to

Mesmerized by quarter notes
Deified the slender keys
I burned all the letters you wrote
The only way to set you free

When we meet face to face
What you won't anticipate
Who stepped in, took your place
Everything you abdicate

Should I believe forever
One day this gets better
That's not gonna happen ever
That's why I burned yr letters

Lord who, Lord who
Who decides, who decides
Who lives Who lives
Who dies who dies
Lord why Lord why
Why the mercy, why the mercy
Lord when it's
Lord when it's all a lie

Rest yr palm on the holy book
Swear to fuck on your name
Give back everything you took
Fair enough, fair game

I'm here to close that chapter
Once and for all
I'm not waiting for the rapture
This is not the final call

Lord who, Lord who
Who decides, who decides
Who lives Who lives
Who dies who dies
Lord why Lord why
Why the mercy, why the mercy
Lord when it's
Lord when it's all a lie
