[Intro]

Y'know as a kid on Sunday, I'd go to church

And say my daily prayers, it's such a blur

Repeating:

"Padre nuestro en el cielo (???)"

"Santificad—" Um, how did it go?

And so the padre's talking, he's doing his thing

He takes a breath, looks up, and starin' at me

He says: "Holy bunnies, white as snow

Will you promise not to ever roam?"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]

I don't know when these feelings all began

It seems the Devil and I walked hand in hand

And so I'd run and run and run away

Endless circles through a senseless game

I would pray for an answer every night

But the moon stayed silent with its damning light

And so I'd run and run and run away

Feigning solace through a holy fatе

[Verse 2]

Now, the echoes intеrlace

Repeating sacred grace to save the misbehaved

A picture-perfect masquerade

Embracing faded pages of tainted saints

"Mijito, Dios te quiere

Él solo quiere protegerte"

A saying I've heard before

Adorning covenants

Dear God, I'm bored

[Pre-Chorus]

We've lost our youth to the night

Left to find reason between every fracture of

Light

In portraits portraying our lives

Can we redefine what it means to be

Alive

[Chorus]

If the scripture says it's sin, then let's begin

A dying wish

Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss

There's hope beyond this lone abyss

Leave bruises on my neck

We won't regret

Our staggered breaths

I wanna feel your body close

But there's something latching to my throat

It's got me

CO-CO-CO-CO—What?

It's got me

CO-CO-CO-CO—What?

Collared

[Bridge]

Cheap wine

Cheaper praise

Cheap ways to fill my faith

I got a hundred ways to null the pain

Every day the same

Still trying to pray

Like, "Oye, wey, ¿estás allí?"

"En el cielo tan bello,"

Find it hard to believe

Hey, did you run and run and run

To shun the only one

That could have saved us from

Humanity's sun?

[Pre-Chorus]

We've lost our youth to the night

Left to find reason between every fracture of

Light

In portraits portraying our lives

Can we redefine what it means to be (Alive)

Life

Isn't up to a God

Our components are sonnets

They're up to us to write

Our memories live on through each line

Can we redefine what it means if

[Chorus]

Scripture says it's sin, then let's begin

A dying wish

Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss

There's hope beyond this lone abyss

Leave bruises on my neck

We won't regret

Our staggered breaths

I wanna feel your body close

But there's something latching to my throat

[Verse 3]

I wanna worship you all night

I wanna feel your gentle bite

And if the world wants us to burn

We'll join the stars and watch it turn

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

I could throw it all away

Repeat the prayers I used to pray

But if I hid behind this broken bliss

I'll never know what lies within

Those markings on my neck

I don't regret the nights we spent

I wanna feel your body close

But there's something latching to my throat

[Chorus]

The scripture says it's sin, then let's begin

This sinner's wish

Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss

Let's recreate the serpent's kiss

Leave bruises on my neck

I won't repent

My knees are bent

I wanna hold your body close

Just wrap your hands around my throat

They had me

CO-CO-CO-CO—What?

But now I'm

CO-CO-CO-CO—What?

Pull on my

CO-CO-CO-CO—What?

Collar
