Collared

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 santifica-" 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 wait 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 grace to save the misbehaved A picture-perfect masquerade Embracing faded pages of tainted saints "Mijito, dios te quiere" "El 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 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 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 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 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 These 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
