(Verse 1) With a cracked porcelain smile I walked through the doors Heads tilt, whispers bloom dressed in my Sunday best whispers abound like the hum of cicadas in a choir on high (Pre-Chorus) The Preacher chants of fire and brimstone like a burning rain I'm a moth drawn to the altar, the incandescent lie, Each “amen” a broken promise, reflected in my eye. (Chorus) Oh I'm Sweatin' like a sinner in church tonight, A hummingbird trapped in fluorescent light. Each hymn a nail hammered into my soul Searchin' for that broken sky, beyond my control. Sweatin' like a sinner, clawing to be free. (Verse 2) Sweet hymns bleed into fantasies I hold, Where flesh and spirit tangle, stories left untold. Hands clasped so tight they ache, a desperate, silent plea, Ghosts of lovers haunt the rafters, only visible to me. (Pre-Chorus) The congregation sways, a field of wheat in grace, But I'm wrestling serpent shadows, in this desolate place. My faith a wilting flower, beneath a judging gaze, These hollow walls amplify the echo of my maze. (Chorus) Oh I'm Sweatin' like a sinner in church tonight, A hummingbird trapped in fluorescent light. Each hymn a nail hammered into my soul Searchin' for that broken sky, beyond my control. Sweatin' like a sinner, clawing to be free. (Bridge) Maybe grace is a splinter, beneath this polished wood, A whisper in the organ pipes, misunderstood. Forgiveness hangs like incense, a half-forgotten dream. (Chorus) Oh I'm Sweatin' like a sinner in church tonight, A hummingbird trapped in fluorescent light. Each hymn a nail hammered into my soul Searchin' for that broken sky, beyond my control. Sweatin' like a sinner, clawing to be free. lawing to be free. (Outro) And I'll keep comin' back… a hunger in my bones… Prayin' for a fragment… of shattered holy stones… Just another lost soul… … looking... for... home...
