We are as sick as our secrets
Gabriel said that night
And my heart opened up
I had been waiting
For those holy words
Somewhere stuck
From my ribs up
Couldn't get them out
Kept hitting against
Their bony cage
The broken bird
Bruising the skin
Growing bigger
Filling with rage
Keep running
hold your head straight
Ghosts behind me
Blood thirsty
And anger fed
x2
Throw off the shackle
Rub the wound clean
Lift the dead weight
Of a grandfather’s dream
We are as sick as our secrets
As dirty as our streets
Try to step away
Hold the cross : So low at my feet
Steal another angle
Find the new way
To retell the old
But they don’t like me
Their Leper Queen
Chorus
Emily showed me
To look for the divine
In the small little things
That you usually find
Under your feet
Above your head
We are so busy watching
Our egos instead
Sit in a Cabin
By a clear crystal Pond
Let Henry come in
Understand how he feels
In the bright yellow Sun
Only will the scar heal
