Lyrics
[Intro: Atmospheric Guitar] [Low Electronic Texture] [Madison: Ethereal Clean] You built the stairs I climbed them slowly Every step Another version of me Now everybody Wants to know me Funny You didn't When I was underneath [Verse 1: Tight Rhythmic Clean] Put me in the room Put me on display Tell me I'm the future Till I start to change Give me all the praise Then measure what I owe Everybody loves the rise Until you take control I can feel the weight Hanging from the crown Everybody lifts you up To watch you coming down [Harsh Vocal] SO LOOK AT ME NOW [Heavy Syncopated Riff] [Pre-Chorus: Floating Clean] If you wanted something You could worship If you needed something You could blame You should've known The moment you raised me I wouldn't stay The same [Chorus: Huge Melodic Clean] PUT ME ON THE ALTAR LIFT ME TILL I TOUCH THE SKY TELL ME I'M YOUR SAVIOR THEN YOU PRAY TO WATCH ME DIE YOU CAN GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU THINK I'M DREAMING OF PUT ME ON THE ALTAR I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU RAISED ME UP TO BECOME [Heavy Riff] [Verse 2: Harsh/Clean Switching] You want the face You want the name [Harsh] YOU WANT THE PRODUCT NOT THE PAIN [Clean] You want the story Nice and clean [Harsh] CUT OUT THE PARTS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN [Clean] Take my hunger Call it greed Take ambition Call it disease [Harsh] YOU FED THE THING YOU'RE SCARED TO SEE NOW GET ON YOUR KNEES [Break: Low Djent Riff] [Madison: Ethereal] Do you love me? Or the version You invented? Do you hear me? Or the words You expected? [Pre-Chorus] If you wanted something You could worship If you needed something You could blame You should've known The moment you raised me I wouldn't stay The same [Chorus] PUT ME ON THE ALTAR LIFT ME TILL I TOUCH THE SKY TELL ME I'M YOUR SAVIOR THEN YOU PRAY TO WATCH ME DIE YOU CAN GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU THINK I'M DREAMING OF PUT ME ON THE ALTAR I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT YOU RAISED ME UP TO BECOME [Atmospheric Drop] [Clean Guitar] [Madison: Breath-soft] I used to want Everybody watching I used to think That meant I'd won Now I know A thousand eyes Can make you feel Like no one's looking once [Distorted Guitar Slowly Enters] So keep your pedestal Keep your praise Keep the little box You made [Madison: Rising Clean] If I have to lose myself To be the thing you celebrate— [Full Band Impact] [Harsh Vocal] THEN WATCH ME BREAK THE FUCKING FRAME [Breakdown: Syncopated Djent] BOW [Impact] DOWN [Impact] TO THE THING YOU MADE [Impact] LOOK [Impact] NOW [Harsh Scream] I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING PRAISE [Rapid Double-Kick Burst] [Final Chorus: Powerful Clean] PUT ME ON THE ALTAR LIFT ME TILL I TOUCH THE SKY TELL ME I'M YOUR SAVIOR THEN YOU PRAY TO WATCH ME DIE YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EVERYTHING I KNOW WHAT I'M WORTH WITHOUT [Upper Clean Belt] PUT ME ON THE ALTAR [Harsh Layer Under Clean] PUT ME ON THE ALTAR [Madison: Huge Sustained Clean] AND WATCH ME TEAR IT DO-O-O-OWN [Harsh Scream] DOWN! [Final Djent Impact] [Outro: Ethereal Clean] You wanted something you could worship [Pause] Should've picked something tame [End]
