Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Every finger in the room

Is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then I get afraid of what that could bring

I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage

Would choose to sell out now

[Verse 2]

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Just what God needs, one more victim

[Verse 3]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

My heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains, oh, oh

Chains, oh, oh

[Verse 4]

Got a kick for a dog

Begging for love

I gotta have my suffering

So that I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says, "Will you ever learn?"

You're just an empty cage, girl

If you kill the bird

[Verse 5]

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Got enough guilt to start my own religion

[Verse 6]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

My heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains, oh, oh

Chains, oh, oh

[Verse 7]

Please be

Save me

I cry, ah, ah

[Verse 8]

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Where are those angels when you need them?

[Verse 9]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself

And nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

My heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains, oh, oh

Chains

[Verse 10]

Why do we, in chains

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) Crucify ourselves every day

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) Oh, chains, oh, yeah

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) In chains, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) Never going back again, oh, to crucify myself again, you know

(Why do we crucify ourselves?) Never going back again, oh, to crucify myself every day
