Sanctified (Revamped)

[Verse 1] I was washed In something gold Heaven had A price tag on They touched my head And called me clean Then looked away From what they’d done Pretty mouths Pretty lies Mercy sold In borrowed light I learned young What holy means Smile for them And hide the teeth [Pre-Chorus] Count the bodies Count the proof Paint the halo Hide the bruise Kiss the ring Hold your breath Call it love Until it’s death [Chorus] I wear my sin Like a saint wears white I dance alone In electric night I bowed to God With a velvet knife Sanctified by sin, not light I wear the dark Like it fits my skin Gold in my mouth With the rot kept in If this is hell Then hold me tight Sanctified by sin, not light [Verse 2] They taught shame Like it was grace Put their hands On every name Built a fire Called it truth Then blamed the smoke On what we knew I got tired Of being good For people who Never were So I took back What they called wrong And made a body Out of her [Pre-Chorus] Count the bodies Count the proof Paint the halo Hide the bruise Kiss the ring Hold your breath Call it love Until it’s death [Chorus] I wear my sin Like a saint wears white I dance alone In electric night I bowed to God With a velvet knife Sanctified by sin, not light I wear the dark Like it fits my skin Gold in my mouth With the rot kept in If this is hell Then hold me tight Sanctified by sin, not light [Bridge] They called it sacred I called it blood They sold forgiveness I paid enough No more kneeling No more shame No more answering To their name If I’m damned Then let me be At least the dark Belongs to me [Final Chorus] I wear my sin Like a saint wears white I dance alone In electric night No borrowed heaven No clean disguise Sanctified by sin, not light I wear the dark Like it fits my skin Gold in my mouth With the rot kept in If this is hell It feels like mine Sanctified by sin, not light [Outro] Amen Again Amen I sinned And I survived
