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
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself every day, I crucify myself
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 beggin' 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"

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
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

Chorus

Why do we crucify ourselves every day
I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself every day, I crucify myself
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 believe
Save me
I cry Ahhhh Ahan Ahanan

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
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself every day, I crucify myself
My heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in
Chains Oh oh oh
Chains Oh oh oh
