Songtext Sanctify Years & Years

Sanctify

When I pray... When I... When I pray

In the night, you come to me
'Cause I'm the one who knows who you are, ooh
Give me your confession, saying
Lately, life's been tearing you apart, now

Walk through the fire with you
'Cause I know how it can hurt
Being cut in two and afraid

So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
(When I pray)

You don't have to be straight with me
I see what's underneath your mask
I'm a man like you, I breathe the rituals of the dancer's dance, oh

And there's fire in you
And you know it's gonna hurt
Being cut in two and afraid

So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
(When I pray)

You'll find redemption when all this is through
Father, forgive me for finding the truth
Love takes its toll on me, I'm just like you
Maybe it's heavenly, maybe it's heavenly

So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray

Sanctify my body with pain (sanctify, sanctify my sins)
Sanctify the love that you crave (sanctify)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
(When I pray)
(When I pray)
