Smile, wave Convince the sanctuary, our charade Though you're the object of my deepest rage Just counterfeit this holiness for me And everything will be okay
My sweet one, you tell no lies The greatest reason to be despised (But) we must pretend Your broken wrist Just happened when you fell off your bike Your bike, your bike
Chorus This is the reason The sanctuary hums 'God save us, God save us From your chosen ones'
Verse 2 Smile, wave Protect his pulpit from all suffering He'll make celebrity the end game So much more valuable than family Not even violence can betray...
As long as you keep your lips Locked up till the end of this age Even if you won't It's your word up against what he'll say he'll say, he'll say
(Chorus)
Bridge Cry, girl Become the wails of victims unheard Your tears have given you the calm nerve So if they're asking you to hide your bane You just keep screaming to the grave
(Chorus) x2
You'll be the reason The helpless celebrate He takes us, He takes us From our violent shame
(Chorus)
This is the reason The helpless celebrate He takes us, He takes us From our violent shame
You'll be the reason The sanctuary hums 'God save us, God save us From your chosen ones'
