[Verse 1] In the land of glitter graves, I was baptized in the dark Trading halos for the stage, selling pieces of my heart The city whispers promises, but they always come with chains Every dream is bought and broken, nothing holy stays the same [Chorus] Living like a sinner in a holy land Praying to the night with a trembling hand If the sky won’t save me, I don’t mind I was made for shadows, not the shine [Verse 2] Cheap salvation on the screen, silver idols made of lies Every kiss a quiet deal, every truth a thin disguise Freedom tastes like poison fruit, but I’m hungry all the same I can’t tell the gods from monsters, all their faces blur with fame [Chorus] Living like a sinner in a holy land Praying to the night with a trembling hand If the sky won’t save me, I don’t mind I was made for shadows, not the shine [Bridge] Bless me, Father, I have sinned But your kingdom let me in If redemption has no song Then I’ll keep singing wrong [Final Chorus] Living like a sinner in a holy land Praying to the night with a trembling hand If the sky won’t save me, I don’t mind I was made for shadows, not the shine
