Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ink on the altar Words that I carved in my skin Swore I was certain Swore I would never give in You lit the match on my faith Watched all my scripture turn black Now I’m the heretic Who can’t stop crawling back [Chorus] These unholy confessions Burn on my tongue like a brand Every vow that I shattered Still stains the back of my hands I was your saint in the shadows Now I choke on every word I blessed Unholy confessions I’m nailing my lies to my chest [Verse 2] Thorns in the doorway Blood in the shape of your name You turned my shelter Into a temple of shame I kissed the rust from your chains Called every scar a halo Drank all your poison And begged you to pour it again (again) [Chorus] These unholy confessions Burn on my tongue like a brand Every vow that I shattered Still stains the back of my hands I was your saint in the shadows Now I choke on every word I blessed Unholy confessions I’m nailing my lies to my chest [Bridge] If I scream it loud enough Will the guilt come tearing free? If I whisper one last prayer Will you still come haunt me? I’m the choir and the curse I’m the sinner and the priest At the altar of your name I’m the sacrifice and beast (oh) [Chorus] These unholy confessions Burn on my tongue like a brand Every vow that I shattered Still stains the back of my hands I was your saint in the shadows Now I choke on every word I blessed Unholy confessions I’m nailing my lies to my chest Unholy confessions Be my blessing Be my death
