Hannah Amdahl - Pedestal Lyrics

The steeple in the middle of the street
And the faces of the people that I meet
They haunt me like a thief in the night
Staring at me holding a knife
The world turns around as I turn down
All the offers of redemption that I seek
Talked about the frailty of life
As you drove me to my red-eye flight
We argued to the point of no return
Then war for the crown of thorns
The world comes down as I turn around
And I walked through the cemetery gates
'Cause I'm not worthy of your love
But you still love me like I was
And if prayers were an exorcism
You'd be right there with 'em
Learning Latin
And if love is a tight rope walk
I'm halfway out holding shears
I just want to be invited in to the houses
Where the common people live
'Cause I don't understand how they are
Built on sand and fog
The rains came down
The floods come up
And they wash
All allusions away
'Cause I'm not worthy of your love
But you still love me just because
And if wishes were kisses
All you'd wanna do is make out
But I'm not worthy of your love
And you still love me like I was
But when you hold me on a pedestal
All I wanna do is jump off
The world turns around as I turn down
All the altars laid at my feet
'Cause I'm unworthy of your love
And you still love me like I was
But when you hold me on a pedestal
All I wanna do is get off
