Lyrics On the Cross - The Used

On the Cross

I needed to pray
Got down on my knees
I asked for a break from sympathy
It started off soft
And grew to a scream
I doubted anyone was listening
Forget what I said
Ignore all the voices in my head
Is that what it takes?
It takes to believe
I’m keeping my eyes open to see
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can is we go our own way
We go our own way
So save us
Drink from the cup
And you shall receive
Sipping my glass that’s half full of empty
I needed to hurt
I needed to bleed
I need to feel something happening
I got on my knees
To ask for a break from sympathy
Is that what it takes?
What it takes to believe?
I’m keeping my eyes open to see
So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can is we go our own way
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can is we go our own way
We go our own way
So save us
Over and over and I still cannot believe
We can’t save ourselves
Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed
And I’ll ask for help
Having faith in something you can’t see
Takes something else
Over and over and I still can not believe
We can’t save ourselves
So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can is we go our own way
So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can is we go our own way
Send your prayers our way
To save us
