sacrificial
we’re standing at the altar
hand in hand, eyes locked on each other
we’re missing the point
but we still say i love you
we really feel it this time
i love you and you love me
but somewhere somethings missing
all I want is to be free.
we’re sacrificing something,
we’re always feeling torn
there is always something gnawing at us, from the day we are born
we’re standing at the altar
time for sacrifice
we’re breaking down our guards
and tearing our skin with knifes
i’m standing at the altar
i climbed from the bottom of this hill
i can stand here, it’s high up
i’m so close to you it’s unreal
you tell me to go back down
you tell me i can’t preach from the mountain
you tell me that you’re calling me
cut his throat, find salvation
hear him gasping, find salvation
we’re sacrificing something
ourselves and each other
take your pills, find salvation.
take a breath, find salvation.
you’re standing at the altar
what can you say now?
you’re standing at the altar
breaking down piece by piece
you’re tearing away the stones
rock the foundation, find salvation.
