Still Not Pure Enough

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Candles carve my shadow Red wax on my hands They call me pure and gentle Tie me down with silk and brands Water tastes like cinders Smoke caught in my lungs They chant the words for mercy Every syllable comes undone [Chorus] Am I still not pure enough? Twenty-three and bleeding dust Waiting for a savior No one ever comes All I see above me Through the burning hush Is the devil leaning over Still not satisfied with us Still not satisfied with me [Verse 2] Soft voice says I'm chosen Like that makes this kind They wash my face in ashes Say they're saving what they find Bones begin to shiver Skin begins to tear I try to lift a prayer up But it freezes in the air [Chorus] Am I still not pure enough? Twenty-three and bleeding dust Waiting for a savior No one ever comes All I see above me Through the burning hush Is the devil leaning over Still not satisfied with us Still not satisfied with me [Bridge] I thought there'd be a light A hand to hold me high But every halo flickers out In those unblinking eyes [Chorus] Am I still not pure enough? Twenty-three and bleeding dust Waiting for a savior No one ever comes All I see above me Through the burning hush Is the devil leaning over Still not satisfied with us Still not satisfied with me
