[Verse 1]

Sacrifice my vanity, kick off my heels

A careless weight on your hatred

Understand, it's so simple, a simple please

To keep the faithful on a wounded knee


[Chorus]

To the madness, I do confess

I never see myself as blessed

(Confused, unaddressed)

Like a saviour, I do caress

The truth is boredom, more or less

(Unused, obsessed)

My time is only given up to you

Too much to choose

It's not mine to contemplate if I can lose

With this blood on my shoes


[Verse 2]

Compromise in full extreme, cut off my heels

Name a price on what's sacred

Guaranteed I've got something, a royal disease

Take a flood to clean these streets


[Chorus 2]

To the madness, I do confess

Forever see myself as blessed

(Immune, obsessed)

Like a saviour, I do caress

The truth is boredom, it's excess

(Take more, give less)

My time is only given up to you

Too much to choose

It's not mine to contemplate if I can lose

With this blood on my shoes
