Mother, take me to the altar
Something's in the water
Carry me, carry me home
Father, save me from the monsters
Hold me like a daughter
Carry me, carry me home

What if home ain't a place?
What if love is a cage?
What if we're all alone?
When we turn out the lights
When we're closing our eyes
Where do you wanna go?

Oh, my soul
My soul cries out
Take me home
My soul cries out

Mother, take me to the altar
Something's in the water
Carry me, carry me home
Father, save me from the monsters
Hold me like a daughter
Carry me, carry me home

Power rots you from the inside
Pulls you like a riptide
That's what people say
Towers aren't all made of ivory
Choose your village wisely
Never trust a saint

Oh, my soul
My soul cries out
Take me home
My soul cries out

Mother, take me to the altar
Something's in the water
Carry me, carry me home
Father, save me from the monsters
Hold me like a daughter
Carry me, carry me home
