Crucify lyrics

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've got a bowling ball in my stomach

I've got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

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

[Chorus:]

Why do we

Crucify ourselves?

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being in

I said my heart is sick of being in

chains

chains

Got a kick for a dog

Beggin' 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

[Chorus:]

Why do we

Crucify ourselves?

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being in

I said my heart is sick of being in

chains

chains

Please be

Save me

I cry

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

Where are those angels

When you need them?

[Chorus:]

Why do we

Crucify ourselves?

Every day

I crucify myself

and nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being in

I said my heart is sick of being in

chains

chains

Why do we crucify ourselves? (5x)
