My offerings Songtext

von Shoulders

Sometimes it's better to receive
The offerings that a fool leaves
Precious little it may seem
From a jester to a queen

I'm down on my knees
It's you I long to please
Won't you end this suffering
And accept my offerings

A gutter voice too tired to scream
A dirty song for you to sing
A prayer a plea a lullabye
A dirge that angels cry
A work of art you call obscene
The naked truth so you know what I mean
You know what I mean?
These are my offerings
These are my offerings
My offerings

Who says you have to genuflect
To show the ultimate respect
If I bow my head
Will you sever it from my neck?

I'm down on my knees
With gifts of priceless things
Will you take all that I bring
Or reject my offerings?

A yo-yo heart upon a string
A hand of fingers without rings
A kiss a scar a wishful sigh
The salt from teary eyes
A bed of nails for pointed dreams
A sheet of lyrics so you'll know what I mean
You know what I mean?
These are my offerings
These are my offerings
My offerings

A tongue ripped from a serpent's mouth
A word that struggles to come out
A hiss a spit a toothless grin
An unoriginal sin
A megaphone for silent screams
A book of braille so you'll see what I mean
You know what I mean?
These are my offerings
These are my offerings
My offerings
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
I'm down
