viscerist - stigmata lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
kneel before the altar of expectation
hands pressed together
blood beneath my fingernails

[verse]
i carve myself open for your approval
each wound a testament
to devotion you’ll never see
the congregation watches
as i bleed in silence

[pre+chorus]
crown of th+rns made from your words
i wear it gladly
sacrifice without witness
but the pain is real

[chorus]
these scars spell out your name
in your name, your name
stigmata of the faithful
so faithful, so faithful
i bleed for your salvation
while you look away
[breakdown]
watch me bend
watch me bend
watch me give
till there’s nothing left

[verse]
strip me down to bone and prayer
make me holy through suffering
the ritual demands perfection
but perfection tastes like copper

[bridge]
what god requires this offering
what deity drinks from these veins
i’ve become the sacrifice
in a temple built from shame

[breakdown]
sanctify
purify
crucify
the self i used to be

[chorus]
these scars spell out your name
carved deep, carved deep
stigmata of the faithful
the willing, the willing
i bleed for your salvation
while you turn away
[post chorus]
my wounds become your worship
my pain becomes your prayer
but saints don’t get remembered
for the crosses that they bear

[outro]
kneel before the altar
of expectation
blood beneath my fingernails
still waiting
for recognition
