they call me holy…
but they don’t know me

Silk on my skin like a second name
Lights in my eyes but they hide the pain
Every prayer they put on me
feels like a weight I can’t release

They see a halo, I feel the fire
Built me a throne out of their desire
Say I’m a dream they can believe
but no one asks what I need

If I fall… would they still pray?
Or just turn their eyes away…

Mother Mary… can you hear me now?
I’m not holy… I’m just breaking down
They put heaven on my shoulders
but I’m dying in the crowd

Mother Mary… if you feel the same
tell me why we have to play this game
They worship what they created
but they don’t know my name

Lipstick prayers and a perfect face
Every tear has to hide in place
They love the girl I pretend to be
but not the one underneath

Hands in the air like I’m saving souls
but I’m losing parts I can’t control
Every touch feels so far away
when you’re seen… but never safe

If I break… would they still stay?
Or just love me from the stage…

Mother Mary… can you hear me now?
I’m not holy… I’m just breaking down
They put heaven on my shoulders
but I’m dying in the crowd

Mother Mary… if you feel the same
tell me why we have to play this game
They worship what they created
but they don’t know my name

If I’m divine…
why do I feel so alone?

If I’m your light…
why can’t I find my own?

Take this crown…
it’s cutting through my skin

I was your angel…
now I’m caving in

Mother Mary… hear me screaming now
I’m not perfect… I’m just falling down
All this love feels like a prison
when you can’t come back around

Mother Mary… let me be undone
I don’t need to be the chosen one
If I lose what they believe in
maybe I can finally run

they called me holy…
but they never knew me
