I was looking for mercy. I was looking for anything that still knew my name. [Verse 1] The silence cracks inside my chest Like old paint on a chapel wall I count the breaths I never kept And call that living after all My tongue is dust, my hands are stone My shadow walks a step behind I learned to starve, then called it home And drank the dark to wet my mind [Pre-Chorus] If there’s a river under ruin Let it rise beneath my skin If there’s a prayer left in the ashes Let me choke it down again [Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me — I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud — say my name [Verse 2] I used to think the wound was proof That something sacred once was there Now I keep mirrors in the room To see if grief still finds me fair The devil came with gentle hands The saint wore smoke around his face He said, “A broken man can stand If he mistakes the burn for grace” [Pre-Chorus] So I knelt beside the fever Pressed my mouth against the flame Every poison called me darling Every ghost pronounced my name [Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me — I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud — say my name [Verse 3] Aren’t we all begging the hollow For a cup it cannot give Trading truth for something shallow Just to feel allowed to live Some drink love and call it healing Some drink rage and call it right Some drink memory till they’re kneeling At the altar every night [Bridge] I have swallowed every promise I have kissed the bitter glass I have made a god of wanting I have called the hunger past But the thirst was never leaving It was carved into my bone Not a curse and not a demon Just the proof I’m still alone [Final Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me — I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud — say my name [Outro] Here, I speak not to a soul I keep the desert in my ribs If this is what the broken hold Then this is what the broken drink [whispered] Say my thirst out loud. Say my name.
