I was playing with my ego
When you walked into the room
A painted smile upon my face
So you couldn't see the cracks
Starting to break through break through
I was tainted by ritual
Till you sanctified my sins
Now I don't know where you end and I don't
Know where I begin where I begin
Mother Mary turn your head
I can't bear to see the tears
Starting to break through break through

Oh I wish that I could crucify all my
Sacred views all my sacred views
All my sacred views

I won't blow out my candle
Until I've burned my vows
Tell me who has been mistaken
And who has been misunderstood misunderstood
You only bless your kind of love and swear
That hate's a hat that you've never worn
Yet you kill a little bit of me every day
With words not guns with beliefs not bombs

Oh I wish that I could crucify all my
Sacred views all my sacred views
Oh I wish that I could crucify all my
Sacred views all my sacred views
All my sacred views

I've been twisted by fear controlled by guilt
Compromised by silence hidden in your violence
Mother Mary turn your head
I can't bear to see the tears
Starting to break through break through

Oh I wish that I could crucify all my
Sacred views all my sacred views
Oh I wish that I could crucify all my
Sacred views all my sacred views
