Judas

(album: The Altar - 2016)

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Never came around to make this house into a home
Put you on a pedestal and sat you on a throne
I found all your skeletons, your closet full of bones
I see you take pride in bloody eyes, I know you're stoned

I can hear resentment in your tone
Said I'd never make it on my own
Maybe I'm just better off alone
Too dumb to deal
Too numb to feel the knife in my back

Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey
Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey

I can see you coming from about a mile away
And all the mystique of your pretentiousness is fading
Reminiscing all the backwards ways you'd make me stay (Stay!)
Begging me for thread, I think you need to change your brain (Oh)

I can hear resentment in your tone (oh)
Said I'd never make it on my own (oh)
Maybe I'm just better off alone (oh)
Too numb to deal
Too numb to feel the knife in my back

Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey
Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey

Don't need you to make an effort, this should be effortless
Nothing can last forever, and you're such a pessimist
I was your prized possession, and who was your exorcist?
Thought you was heaven-sent
You left for the hell of it

I can hear resentment in your tone (oh)
Said I'd never make it on my own (oh)
Maybe I'm just better off alone
Too dumb to deal
Too numb to feel the knife in my back

Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey
Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey
Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey
Judas, hey
Oh, oh, Judas, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
