Ethan Slater - Under the Cathedral Lyrics

Why do I always come up here?
Open my eyes to find myself staring out
At the church on the cliff, the monolith
That makes me want to disappear

Wandering around is my pastime
Smoking a cigarette that I thought would feel like mine
It doesn't

Do I think I belong here?
Lots of stone eyes staring back at me
They know I'm not a god, I'm odd and goofy
Showing people what they want to see

But I want to hear you say my name
I just wanna hear someone say it
I know to some that might sound lame
To me, it doesn't

I don't want to hurt anybody
But sometimes I wish that I'd get hurt
I don't want feel any anger
But sometimes it's the anger that let's you work
I don't want to blame anybody
Because it means I could not blame myself
I don't want to know anybody
I want to know that someone wants to help

Why do you always come up here?
Sometimes I see you're cell phone glow
It disappears when I hit the lighter
But from my hill I see you pacing to and fro

Walking around like your feet are lead
I see you thinking that it matters what someone said
It doesn't

I don't want to presume your life
So I won't, why are you here?
Do you want to be alone tonight?
Or alone together in the night air

Under the Cathedral outside
Writing out the sequels to our lives
It might be a multi-verse of its own
Where we split up in a million directions
Until we all come home

I don't want to hurt anybody
Sometimes I wish that I'd get hurt
I don't want to feel any anger
But sometimes it's the anger that lets you work
I don't want to blame anybody
Because it means I could not blame myself
I don't want to be anybody
I want to be someone who knows how they can help

I don't want to hurt anybody
Sometimes I wish that I'd get hurt
I don't want to feel any anger
But sometimes it's the anger that lets you work
I don't want to blame anybody
Because it means I could not blame myself
I don't want to be anybody
I want to be someone who knows how they can help
