lyrics

Someone's gotta carry the weight
Of everyone and everything that you hate

The noose knows me, knows my enmity
Is this divinity or just predestiny?
I love you too
So why does your god hate me and give his love to you
I am not his son
But see I am his child
You said I was the one
On the cross you bled
I hang my head and bleed unto the fields of the dead

My insides writhe like eden's snakes
These pieces of silver flow through my veins
I can't take the weight
I can't take the weight
I take the only thing that I can take
The only thing I can take in answer to your father's hospitality

Am I the sin? Or am I the sinner?
Can you love me? Or just the winners?
I am human
I am somebody's son
I am the corpse on the battlefield
After the war has been won

My brother, my love
One kiss betrayed
Nothing but destiny is in our way

Condemn me
And leave me behind
I'll find my own way, my own kind
I gave you my life but never gave you my mind
Even in the jaws of Hell, it's for you I pine

I am the body
I am the blood
I am the rainbow
I am the flood
I am the message
I am the lamb
I am the saved
I am the damned
I am the journey
I am the end
I am the savior
I was the savior's friend
I am yours, body and soul
Who else would know?
Who else would know
Where you would be?
In the garden
Among the trees

You used to flip tables in the temples
You used to tell tales from the stables
Who am I to you? If you only knew.

If we all have a part
In this sickly god-show
How can we ascend?
How are we to know?
You are not my friend
You are not my foe

Pieces of silver
I am what you made me
Grief from the gallows
I am what you made me
Slivers of silver
I am what you made me
Pieces of promise
I am what you made me

What glory would there be without me?
What heaven would there be without me?
What savior would there be without me?
What favor could you expect without me?

Children swaying from the trees for the vultures to feed
While the body of Christ is everlasting
