LYRICS:
I’d fake my death
If it weren’t such a mess
For the people I love
Or assume won’t forget me
But I’m staying alive
Just to see you roll your eyes
And sigh
If you got nothing to prove
Then tell me why would you do this?
Holy Roller
Don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign
I’m burning out faster than a candle in the night
I’ll be gone before sunrise
Tell me again how you lost all your friends
Tell me when did it start
And when will it end
Cause I see no wrong if you were to tag along
But don’t bother fixing your hair
If you’ve got nothing to wear
Holy Roller
Don’t go wasting all your time
Praying for a sign
I’m burning out faster than a candle in the night
I’ll be gone before sunrise
There is a debt that I never thought applied to me
Until I got to your bed
And now I’m atop all of the sheets
Crawling on my knees
Choking on the air that you breathe
Come on Holy Roller
Let me out the corner
Make me think that I’m in control
I thought you was a kitten
Till you started hissing
Scratching at me like I’m a post
If I let your daughter
Push me underwater
Can I fall asleep with the ghost?
If I let your daughter
Turn me to a martyr
Is Jesus gonna save my soul?
