Vane Lily - Collared lyrics

You 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 talkin', he's doin' 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?"

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 fate

Now, the echoes interlace
Repeating sacred praise 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

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?

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
Now I wanna feel your body close
But there's something latching to my throat

It's got me co- co- co- co- what? [2x]
Collared

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
Who could have saved us from humanity's sun?

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 they mean if

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
Now I wanna feel your body close
But there's something latching to my throat

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

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)

(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
Now 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
