Acolyte Lyrics

I am my father's daughter

I am my mother's son

I raise up for the last time

A toast to everyone

To every promise broken

To every gathered stone

This land of flags and arson

This land is not my own

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

I was a stubborn child

I was an acolyte

A faithful congregation

A candle in the night

My brothers kept me humble

My sisters kept me sane

I wander into sacred halls

To feel it all again

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

I did not have an answer

I simply had a choice

To give myself to heaven

Or give myself a voice

I guess I'm doing well now

I'm better than before, but I

Sometimes miss that little kid

Behind the closet door

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

And I can't go home

No I can't go home

No I can't go home

(Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord)

No I can't go home

(Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord

Oh lay, oh lie, oh lord)
