[Verse 1]
Sacred spaces, stained glass windows
Daddy's prayers echo through these halls
While I'm dancing with my demons
Breaking every rule that made me small
In this holy place, I'm feeling sinful
But baby, that's just who I am
Got one foot in heaven, one in hell now
Making angels curse, making devils dance
[Chorus]
My altar ego's taking over
Sweet salvation in my veins
Playing saint but I'm a sinner
Caught between pleasure and the pain
My altar ego's getting closer
To the truth I can't contain
Breaking free from all these chains
While Daddy's calling out my name
[Verse 2]
Silk sheets feel like confession
Every touch is like a sacred crime
Got the whole world questioning
Whether I'm yours or if I'm divine
Dad's getting weaker by the day now
But his faith stays strong as steel
While I'm out here living backwards
Making deals with how I feel
[Bridge]
Promise I made, by his hospital bed
"Follow your heart," that's what he said
But my heart's speaking languages
That would make a preacher lose his head
[Chorus]
My altar ego's taking over
Sweet salvation in my veins
Playing saint but I'm a sinner
Caught between pleasure and the pain
My altar ego's getting closer
To the truth I can't contain
Breaking free from all these chains
While Daddy's calling out my name
[Outro]
In these holy halls, I'm finding freedom
Between the prayers and forbidden dreams
My reflection's getting clearer
I'm exactly who I'm meant to be
Not the son you thought you raised
But the man I had to free
My altar ego's here to stay
That's my own divinity
