(Verse 1)
Is that where your loyalty lies?
In your strides for a perfect life
You disowned your family so you could salvage your pride
The words you defend
They’re only paper thin
Your blood is thinner than the rope that you’ve been balancing on
(Pre Chorus 1)
Tell me how far would you go?
To justify your ego
To compensate for character
So pedantic and shallow
I’m not holding my breath for when
Your actions reflect a man
Who has done right by his family
Despite on where they stand
(Chorus)
So take your time
As you pull up on the roots
That lead back to what you left behind
It’s only right
For someone so holier than thou
For a saint who swears he’s so divine
(Verse 2)
You can play it off as pride
But I can see it in your eyes
They dress you like a bishop
But you’re a pawn in disguise
What they had you memorize
Turned out to be a lie
And you’ll never live it down
Because you know we were right
(Pre Chorus 2)
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you tell yourself it’s alright?
Do you think about our mother?
And the pain you see in her eyes
Do you think of our father when
You see that the evil is deep within
And the walls you’ve built around yourself start crumbling in
(Chorus)
(Pre-Bridge)
I wouldn’t quite call you a God, no
And I wouldn’t quite call you a saint
You know you’re far from a savior
And even farther from a priest
(Bridge)
You are no God
You are no saint
You are no savior
You are no priest
You’re just a petty man
And I’m not quite sure that you really do understand
That our mother shouldn’t come to know
Not to set her watch to your letters home
You’re lighting matches upon bridges that were built out of stone
(Pre Outro)
Tell me what’s your intention?
Or would you rather not mention
Only a coward runs away
(Outro)
You are no God, you are no Saint
You’re just a coward and a fake
Just so that there is no mistake
You are no savior, you are no priest
You know you’re far from family
You’re just a ghost for all that is holy
