The Cross

Steppin' off the cross
It's a long way down
The lessons I was taught
I thought that I'd be over those by now
After a whole life
Praying I might find
Days light
It's time

I'm learning how to speak
(I thought that I was weak)
Turns out that I was sleeping
With my hands and my feet
(Tied up tight in belief)
Thrown in at the deep end
After a whole life
Praying I might find shoreline
It's time

(I don't believe)
That a god is what sets me free

We fall alone
You taught me so
A flawless soul
Is broken, poured into the mould of faith
What for: the pain?
More than anything
I wanna pay the cost
Just let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off

(I don't believe
All the guilt that you teach)
All your preaching
It's my soul if I don't
Believe it
Nail my hands and my feet with
The rules that you wrote
You can keep them, keep them
After a whole life
Praying my soul might
Feel light
It's time
Just let me off, let me off, let me off
Cause when we fall, when we fall

We fall alone
You taught me so
A flawless soul
Is broke and poured into the mould of faith
What for: the pain?
More than anything
I wanna pay the cost
Just let me off. let me off. let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off

Let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off

Let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off
Let me off, let me off, let me off
Just let me off, let me off
