[Intro] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? You’re all hoisted up and perched on a throne in holy disguise [Verse 1] You speak in smoke, you breathe in silver lies With a crown of ash and a mouth full of borrowed skies I seen the stain underneath the painted light You bless the weak then you bury them alive [Pre-Chorus] Hands folded clean but the room still reeks Of broken vows and the blood you drink You call it grace, I call it grime A saint in chains with a thief inside [Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that holy disguise? All hoisted up, so high, so cold Preaching salvation with a heart of stone Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? [Verse 2] You built your altar out of fear and pride Made a palace from the ones you left behind Every halo’s just a sharpened blade Every prayer a price the guilty paid [Pre-Chorus] Hands folded clean but the room still reeks Of broken vows and the blood you drink You call it grace, I call it grime A saint in chains with a thief inside [Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that holy disguise? All hoisted up, so high, so cold Preaching salvation with a heart of stone Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? [Bridge] Take off the mask Let the rot breathe out Take off the crown Tell me what you’re about If you’re a god, then bleed like me If you’re a king, then die in the streets [Final Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that holy disguise? All hoisted up, perched on your throne But the light don’t live where you call home Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? [Verse 1] You came in soft With a borrowed face Talked like spring But it cut like lace I read your hands At the table edge They shook so slight Like a falling pledge [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Don’t hide your name I’ve held the flame I know that game [Chorus] Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes Holy disguise Let go of the lies I want the truth Even if it bites Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes [Verse 2] Your silver ring Left a mark in rain On my front step Like a ghost in pain I kept the door I kept the light You kept the change From your stolen night [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Don’t hide your name I’ve held the flame I know that game [Chorus] Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes Holy disguise Let go of the lies I want the truth Even if it bites Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes [Bridge] If you’re scared Say you’re scared If you’re broken Say you’re bare No more masks No more smoke Only skin And a spoken oath [Final Chorus] Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes Holy disguise Let go of the lies I want the truth Even if it bites Holy disguise Hold me in your eyes (hold me) (let go of the lies)
