The Dayveil - Vestments Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sacred threads wrapped around my soul
Daddy's prayers echo as I lose control
These robes of faith, they're weighing me down
Cathedral walls watch me as I drown
In expectations I can't meet
Ancient whispers that I can't keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Strip away these holy clothes
Underneath my spirit shows
What they gave me, what they took
Every rule that I forsook

[Chorus]
These vestments don't fit me no more
(They don't fit, they don't fit)
Suffocating to my core
(Can't breathe, can't breathe)
Wearing masks that ain't my own
In this skin, I feel alone
These vestments don't fit me no more

[Verse 2]
Family dinners feel like funeral rites
Mama's tears stain these garments tonight
Terminal news hits different when
You're caught between now and way back then
These traditions that we wear
Like chains of gold that we can't bear

[Pre-Chorus]
Strip away these holy clothes
Underneath my spirit shows
What they gave me, what they took
Every rule that I forsook

[Bridge]
Caught between the East and West
Trying to pass their sacred test
But these robes, they tell a lie
'Bout who I am inside
Damn, these chains of gold
Stories left untold
Wearing daddy's faith
Like it's gonna keep me safe

[Chorus]
These vestments don't fit me no more
(They don't fit, they don't fit)
Suffocating to my core
(Can't breathe, can't breathe)
Wearing masks that ain't my own
In this skin, I feel alone
These vestments don't fit me no more

[Outro]
Take it off, let me be free
These holy threads ain't covering me
No more, no more
These vestments don't fit me no more
