[Intro]
Y’know, as a kid on Sunday
I’d go to church
And say my daily prayers
It’s such a blur
Repeating:
“Padre nuestro en el cielo (???
Santifica-”
Um, how did it go?
And so the Padre’s talkin’, he’s doin’ his thing
He takes a breath, looks up and, starin’ at me
He says, “Holy bunnies, white as snow
Will you promise not to ever roam?”
[Verse 1]
I don’t know all when these feelings all began
It seems the devil and I walked hand in hand
And so I’d run and run and run away
Endless circles through a senseless game
I would pray for an answer every night
But the moon stayed silent with it’s damning light
And so I’d run and run and run away
Feigning solace through a holy fate
Now, the echos interlace
Repeating sacred grace to save the misbehaved
A picture perfect masquerade
Embracing faded pages of tainted saints
“Mijito, Dios te quiere”
“Él solo quiere protegerte”
A saying I’ve heard before, adorning covenants;
Dear God, I’m bored
[Pre Chorus]
We’ve lost our youth to the night
Left to find reason between every fracture of light
In portraits portraying our lives
Can we redefine what it means to be alive?
[Chorus]
If the scripture says its sin
Then let's begin a dying wish
Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss
There’s hope beyond this lone abyss
Leave bruises on my neck
We won’t regret
Our staggered breaths
I wanna feel your body close
But there’s something latching to my throat
It's got me co- co- co- co-
What!?
It's got me co- co- co- co-
What!?

[Verse 2]
Cheap wine, cheaper praise
Cheap ways to fill my faith
I got a hundred ways to null the pain
Every day the same, still trying to pray, like
“Oye, wey, ¿estás allí?
En el cielo tan bello
Find it hard to believe
Hey, did you
Run, and run, and run
To shun the only one
Who could have saved us from humanity’s sun?
[Pre Chorus 2]
We’ve lost our youth to the night
Left to find reason between every fracture of light
In portraits portraying our lives
Can we redefine what it means to be alive?
Life isn’t up to a God
Our components are sonnets
They’re up to us to write
Our memories live on through each line
Can we redefine what they mean if
[Chorus 2]
Scripture says its sin
Then let's begin a dying wish
Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss
There’s hope beyond this lone abyss
Leave bruises on my neck
We won’t regret
Our staggered breaths
I wanna feel your body close
But there’s something latching to my throat
[Bridge]
I wanna worship you all night
I wanna feel your gentle bite
And if the world wants us to burn
We’ll join the stars and watch it turn
[Final Chorus]
I could throw it all away
Repeat the prayers I used to pray
But if I hid behind this broken bliss
I’ll never know what lies within
Those markings on my neck
I don’t regret the nights we spent
I wanna feel your body close
But there’s something latching to my throat
The scripture says its sin
Then let's begin this sinner’s wish
Although our cards were dealt in binded bliss
Let’s recreate the serpent's kiss
Leave bruises on my neck
I won’t repent
My knees are bent
I wanna hold your body close
Just wrap your hands around my throat
They had me co- co- co- co-
What!?
But now I’m co- co- co- co-
What!?
Pull on my co- co- co- co-
What!?
Collar
