"Crucify" lyrics - WITHIN TEMPTATION

WITHIN TEMPTATION

"Crucify"

Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid 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

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

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
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

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

Please be
Save me
I cry

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

(Why do we...) Why do we (...chains...) crucify ourselves (crucify ourselves...)
(...Everyday...) Why do we crucify ourselves
Why do we (...chains...) crucify ourselves
Why do we (...chains...) crucify ourselves
Why do we (...never going back again to...) crucify ourselves (...crucify myself again...)
Why do we (...never going back again to...) crucify ourselves (...crucify myself again...)
Why do we crucify ourselves
(Everyday)
