[Verse 1]
Every finger in the room
Is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage
Would choose to sell out now
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Just what God needs, one more victim
[Chorus]
Why do we crucify ourselves every day?
I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
Got a kick for a dog
Begging for love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says, "Will you ever learn?
You're just an empty cage girl
If you kill the bird"
[Chorus]
Why do we crucify ourselves every day?
I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Please be
Save...
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
Where are those angels when you need them?
[Chorus]
Why do we crucify ourselves every day?
I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself every day
I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains, oh oh oh
Chains
[Outro]
Why do we, in chains (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
Crucify ourselves, every day (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Why do we crucify ourselves?)h, chains, oh yeah (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
In chains (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
Never going back again, no (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
To crucify myself again, you know (Why do we crucify ourselves?)
