Holy Water

You took what you came for, didn't you?
Don't know where your head is
I'm black and blue
You lit the fuse and knew I'd break through
The stains on the floor they don't belong to you

I keep trying to scrub these ghosts from under my skin
But you're carved in deep like stone

You won't save me no, no
You call it mercy but you chain me no, no
God I tried but I can't let go
You're the poison and the cure in me, oh
One taste and I'm already here
You won't save me no, no
God I tried but I can't let go
Oh God, na-na-na-na-na, yeah
Oh God, na-na-na-na-na, yeah
Oh God, na-na-na-na-na, yeah
There's nothing I can do to free my soul
Oh God, na-na-na-na-na, yeah

Yeah
City bleeds gold on my sneakers
Smoke halo I talk to my demons like teachers
They say: Son, pain's the only preacher
Guess I found God in the mirror cheaper
Laugh at the chaos, kiss my veins
Holy water in a whiskey stain
Every sin got a stage name
I don't flinch when I kiss the flame
Still grin with a cracked crown
Heaven had the list, I blacked it out
Oracle eyes in a ghost town
I speak truth, they call it breakdown
I'm divine, deranged
Yeah it's all the same
Paint the cross in gasoline
Then whisper your name

You won't save me no, no
You call it mercy but you chain me no, no
God I tried but I can't let go
You're the poison and the cure in me, oh
One taste and I'm already here
You won't save me no, no
God I tried but I can't let go

Transmission complete, go
Game over

Was it mercy or just sickness?
When you shaped me into darkness
All the voices in my labyrinth
Pulled me closer to the voidness

And now you're begging me to go
Feeding me to crawl
Can whispers build illusions
Or will shadows claim my lovers?

You're the poison and the cure in me, oh
One taste and I'm already here
You won't save me no, no
God I tried but I can't let go
