Mother, take me to the altar Something's in the water Carry me, carry me home Father, save me from the monsters Hold me like a daughter Carry me, carry me home
What if home ain't a place? What if love is a cage? What if we're all alone? When we turn out the lights When we're closing our eyes Where do you wanna go?
Oh, my soul My soul cries out Take me home My soul cries out
Mother, take me to the altar Something's in the water Carry me, carry me home Father, save me from the monsters Hold me like a daughter Carry me, carry me home
Power rots you from the inside Pulls you like a riptide That's what people say Towers aren't all made of ivory Choose your village wisely Never trust a saint
Oh, my soul My soul cries out Take me home My soul cries out
Mother, take me to the altar Something's in the water Carry me, carry me home Father, save me from the monsters Hold me like a daughter Carry me, carry me home
