V6

[Verse 1] You built a throne from borrowed bones Taught us to worship what you own Halo hanging by a thread Pretty little lies painted gold instead You speak in tongues you don’t believe Sell salvation up your sleeve Everybody bows their head While you count the living with the dead [Pre-Chorus] I gave you faith You gave me scars Now I see exactly what you are [Chorus] SAINT OF NOTHING! You made me kneel just to watch me crawl SAINT OF NOTHING! Built yourself up just to watch us fall I gave you faith You gave me scars Now I know exactly what you are SAINT OF NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! [Verse 2] Plastic halo, paper crown Funny how the mighty look coming down Every sermon, every smile Just another body for the fucking pile You wanted love You wanted fear You wanted everyone to disappear Behind the image that you made But gods look smaller when the lights all fade [Pre-Chorus] I gave you faith You gave me scars Now everybody sees what you are [Chorus] SAINT OF NOTHING! You made me kneel just to watch me crawl SAINT OF NOTHING! Built yourself up just to watch us fall I gave you faith You gave me scars Now I know exactly what you are SAINT OF NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! [Bridge — whispered / building] Pray for me Lie to me Tell me what I’m supposed to see Bleed for me Bow for me Tell me who I’m supposed to be No. No more. NO MORE. [Breakdown] TAKE YOUR HALO TAKE YOUR CROWN WATCH YOUR KINGDOM BURN THE FUCK DOWN YOU WANTED WORSHIP YOU GOT THE FALL SAINT OF NOTHING— NOTHING AT ALL! [Final Chorus — huge] SAINT OF NOTHING! You made me kneel just to watch me crawl SAINT OF NOTHING! Now there’s nobody left when you finally fall I gave you faith You gave me scars Now the whole damn world knows what you are SAINT OF NOTHING! SAINT OF NOTHING! NOTHING— AT— ALL! [Outro — whispered] No halo. No saviour. No god. Nothing.
