Chaos & Amen

(Forgive me, father for I have sinned — ok, let's go. )

Step to the booth, the guilt is yours
Same old words behind locked doors
Same old fight, confess my sins
Blame runs wild, but no one wins

(Take the fall again,)
( We are all weirdos, hollow friends.)

I faked a tear to play it right
Lied too smooth, they saw the light
Teased the nuns with twisted hymns
Took the cross and learned to grin

I stole the box and cracked the safe
I drank the wine they meant to save
I kissed the bride and missed the signs
I set the altar arms with mines

Beat down to the ground, and let it go
Now I light up in the dark and steal the show
Rising up through the wreckage
Turning pain into clashes
Try to stop me, but I'm set to overload

(Take the fall again,)
(We are weirdos, hollow friends.)
(Bend the rules again,)
(Crooked halos, laughing ends.)

I faced the judge, dressed in black
Smiled while bailiffs held me back
Raised my hand and drew a smile
Wore the cuffs like holy style

They state the charge, I fixed my tie
Said: "Nice try — but so did I"
Swore I'd never plead again
Called the jury hollow men

(Take the fall again,)
(We are weirdos, hollow friends.)

(Bend the rules again,)
(Crooked halos, laughing ends.)

(Take the fall again,)
(We are weirdos, hollow friends.)

(Break, burn, sin again)
(Wasted idols, bitter ends)

(So) Kneel down to the saint you used to know

Rising up (with) golden fractures
Wore my shame (like) sacred rapture
Now I bless my darker side

Beat down to the ground, and let it go
Now I light up in the dark and steal the show
Rising up through the wreckage
Turning pain into clashes
Try to stop me, but I'm set to overload

(Take the fall again,)
(We are weirdos, hollow friends.)

(Take the fall again,)
You're my weirdo friends.)
