Tie me up and hide the truth Cover me in boiling water Tell me what I'll never be Wish I were a different daughter Do you really want me? Do you want my paragon? What if I',m a sinner? Underneath what I put on Man is filled with fall But the sages are unerring Do they tell you to be penal? And let me take what I'm enduring? Once, I pled for the weary And you called it modern consequence Once, I raised the suffering And you called it slow incompetence Repent and fall for mercy Call grace a smoky liar But if I stand in blinding fumes Then you must be burning in fire Keep hoping for a savior When you can't save yourself The King is right above you Let Him reveal Himself

Tie me up and hide the truth Cover me in boiling water Tell me what I'll never be Wish I were a different daughter Do you really want me? Do you want my paragon? What if I',m a sinner? Underneath what I put on Man is filled with fall But the sages are unerring Do they tell you to be penal? And let me take what I'm enduring? Once, I pled for the weary And you called it modern consequence Once, I raised the suffering And you called it slow incompetence Repent and fall for mercy Call grace a smoky liar But if I stand in blinding fumes Then you must be burning in fire Keep hoping for a savior When you can't save yourself The King is right above you Let Him reveal Himself
