lyrics

I’ve been drowning in fits of rage
My mental stage was in poor taste.
I’m not holy, let me in, please let me in.

Be my guidance, steer my sin.
Be my shelter from storms within.
I’m not holy, let me in lord, let me in.

Roads of weather in my veins,
A pampered ego just the same.
I’m not holy let, let me in, please let me in.

Tie me up, slash my skin.
Dance around the war cries of man.
I’m not holy, let me in lord, let me in.

My stare won’t falter, my gaze won’t twitch.
I’ll be a rock upon which you can sit.
I’m not holy, let me in, please let me in.

I’m no fighter, but I’ll fight for you.
And all your sorrows, I’ll take them too.
I’m not holy, let me in lord, let me in.

If you’re torn between two swords,
And left your shield at the lines of war...
I’m not holy, let me in please let me in.

The people talking saying I’m good.
They were for hire, paid for their words.
I’m not holy, let me in, please let me in.

I’ve been a liar, I’ve been a thief
But I have gambled with worser seats.
I’m not holy, let me in lord, please let me in.

I’ll take the bad, I’ll take the good,
I’ve spit on others to make me look good.
I’m not holy, let me in lord, please let me in.

Our smiles may have seen some awful things,
But look to the core of our retina rings.
I’m not holy, let me in, please let me in.
