[Verse 1]
Late nights in my bedroom, prayin' to a God I barely know
Father's getting weaker, while I'm chasin' dreams they told me to let go
Mama's tears are fallin', says the devil's got me in his hold
But this music in my soul, yeah, it's the only truth I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
Hidden prayers in Arabic whispers
Sacred words I can't decode
Caught between these worlds of sinners
Walkin' down this lonely road
[Chorus]
This is my confessional
But I ain't askin' for forgiveness
Every secret's professional
The way I bend but never break, yeah
This is my confessional
In these sheets of silk and sin
Your holy water can't wash away
The person that I've always been
[Verse 2]
Cathedral walls are watchin', as I break another promise made
Dad's voice keeps on hauntin', "Son, you're throwin' everything away"
But these melodies inside me, they're the only heaven that I need
And these demons that they see, yeah, they're the angels setting me free
[Bridge]
Every night I'm on my knees
But not the way they wanted me to be
Got my own religion now
And baby, it's this melody
[Chorus]
This is my confessional
But I ain't askin' for forgiveness
Every secret's professional
The way I bend but never break, yeah
This is my confessional
In these sheets of silk and sin
Your holy water can't wash away
The person that I've always been
[Outro]
Father, forgive me
But I choose me
This time I choose me
