lyrics

MICHAEL

Lead the way,
take my hand and
throw me to a pit of lions,
there's no sense in you crying,
lock the doors

I'll be safe
inside a ring with
hunting-killing heavy hitters,
no, don't you worry 'bout these sinners
I'm fine

Give me hope
and strength and all the
things that God is known for giving,
or does that just come with Christian living?
I'm not sure

Dry your eyes,
I'll meet you after all this
heresy is over,
I'll understand it when I'm older,
at least, I'll try

While you're gone
I'll find another way to
controvert the Bible,
a place with God don't bring survival
anymore

Now take me home
and read to me the brazen books
they've all been burning,
the real lessons we should be learning,
turned to ash

Put me to bed
in sheets of red and hope that they don't see the difference,
the colour blood don't scream innocence
like holy white

And I'll wake up
a wiser girl than every day that's come before this,
for sleep has taught me what they haven't
I'm mine
