Crucify, Tori Amos

Yeah yeah yeah... I have a slight martyr complex. I'm not going to lie about it. =p Blame my mother.. she's the one that taught me to always put others ahead.

Of course, I know that's not exactly SMART.

In this life, there ARE times we have to think of ourselves first.

In the last year especially, I've thought about that a lot... wanting to do for booth others AND myself, but knowing I often have to choose.

Bleh.

Anyway...



Every finger in the room is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then I get affraid what that could bring

I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my COURAGE would choose to sell out now.

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Just what GOD needs

One more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves

Every day I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day I crucify myself

And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE

I gotta have my suffering

So that I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says will you ever learn

You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the brid

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Got enough GUILT to start

My own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves

Every day I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day I crucify myself

And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Please be

Save me

I CRY

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Where are those angels

When you need them

Why do we crucify ourselves

Every day I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day I crucify myself

And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Why do we change (chains?)

Crucify ourselves

Everyday

Never going back again

Crucify myself again

You know

Never going back again to

Crucify myself

Everyday
