Faith and flesh traded against each other. A woman lays her white dress on "the altar of flesh", and every coin she earns is "another candle burned for a god who stays hollow".
The line
"If redemption is real / Why's the wound never healed / Only opening wider?"
Lyrics
The sirens become
A cathedral of tongues
Calling sinners by name
I leave my white dress
On the altar of flesh
Like a prayer wrapped in shame
Kiss the salt from my skin
Let the service begin
Where the saints never follow
Every coin that I earn
Is another candle burned
For a god who stays hollow
The lipstick is blood
Mixed with rain and with mud
On the mouth of forgiveness
Every vow disappears
With the taste of my tears
In the arms of the faithless
I wear every sin
Like a thorn through the skin
That no heaven can sever
If redemption is real
Why's the wound never healed
Only opening wider?
You were all I confessed
My communion, my test
The only devotion
Now the choir has drowned
And your name's underground
Beneath rivers in motion
Setting just like the sun
Through the rainfall
Setting just like the sun
Through the rainfall
Over and over again
Over and over again
