Smile, wave

Convince the sanctuary, our charade

Though you're the object of my deepest rage

Just counterfeit this holiness for me

And everything will be OK



My sweet one

You tell no lies

The greatest reason to be despised



But we must pretend

Your broken wrist

Just happened when you fell off your bike



So this is

The reason

The sanctuary hums

God save us

God save us

From your chosen ones



Smile, wave

Protect his pulpit from all suffering

He'll make celebrity the end game

So much more valuable than family

Not even violence can betray...



As long as

You keep your lips

Locked up til the end of this age



And even

If you won't

It's your word up against what he'll say



Cry, Girl

Become the wails of victims unheard

Your tears have given you the calm nerve

So if they're asking you to hide your bane

You just keep screaming to the grave



You'll be

The reason

The helpless celebrate

He takes us

He takes us

From our violent shame
