"I've Given More To A Lesser God" lyrics

"I've Given More To A Lesser God"

I miss the feeling of stars on the ceiling
The green light that glowed in the dark
Buried my body down under the top sheet
And dog eared each page of my heart
Daisy and Gatsby, you knew that you had me
So naive and gilded in gold
The paint is peeling, and I'm sick of reading
These endings where we don't get old

I've given more to a lesser god
So break my knees before you hang me up
I've given more to a lesser god
But at what cost?

Constellations turned into salvation
I hung it right up on the wall
But all the particles weightless within my soul
They never mattered at all

Pay for your sins and pray for your friends
Beg for forgiveness until the world ends
Rinse and repent, rinse and forget
Rinse off the blood from the same hands that couldn't save shit

I've given more to a lesser god
So break my knees before you hang me up
I've given more to a lesser god
It's such a heavy cross, a heavy cross
And this I know cause you told me so
Said I hope that you find what you're looking for
I've given more to a lesser god
But at what cost?

Pay for your sins
Pray for your friends
Beg for forgiveness
Beg for it, coward
At what cost?

I've given more to a lesser god
So break my knees before you hang me up
I've given more to a lesser god
It's such a heavy cross, a heavy cross
And this I know cause you told me so
Said I hope that you find what you're looking for
I've given more to a lesser god
But at what cost?
