Make Me Your Alter (Fades2Red x madcat)

[Verse 1] You found me on my knees already Didn’t have to ask me twice Said if I gave you everything You might make it worth my life You never spoke like a savior More like something in disguise But I was desperate for meaning So I called you divine [Pre-Chorus] You put your hands on my body Like you were blessing a sin Said, “If it hurts, then it’s working” So I leaned into it [Chorus] So go on, make me your altar Lay me out, let me break Turn my blood into an offering Take whatever you take Call it love, call it holy Call it something I lack If I’m damned in your heaven I’m not asking you back [Verse 2] You only show up in silence When there’s nothing left in me Like you wait for me empty So I don’t have the strength to leave Every word sounds like scripture But it shifts when I repeat And I don’t know what I’m worshipping Just that I can’t stop the need [Pre-Chorus] You say my name like you own it Like it’s carved into your teeth Like I was made just to carry Everything that you need [Chorus] So go on, make me your altar Lay me out, let me bleed Turn my pain into religion Make a martyr of me Call it love, call it mercy Say it’s all that I lack If I’m lost in your heaven I don’t wanna come back [Bridge] I tried to pray you out of me I did Stayed awake for days repeating Anything that sounded clean But every word just led me back To your voice In my head In my chest In my spine Like a hymn I can’t forget [Breakdown] You’re not a god …but I still bow [Final Chorus] Go on, make me your altar Let me crack, let me cave If devotion is a sickness I don’t wanna be saved Call it faith, call it poison Running black through my veins If I die in your presence At least I had a name [Outro] You never had to prove it I believed anyway
