Single off the upcoming If You're Ever Feeling Lost... album

Lyrics:

I walked right into this one, eyes open 
like a lamb to the slaughter 
with my head bowed down 
Happily unaware of the butcher’s knife 
Stupid smile fixed upon my face 

I should have known it would end like this 
But you can’t fault a man for having hopes 
Suffer is such an ugly word, such gross hyperbole 
But I really should suffer. I owe it to you to drag this out 
And I deserve everything you would put me through 

But I’m no Christ 
I will not kill myself so you can live 
I will not die for any sins but my own 
And there will be no resurrection 

I’m no Christ 
I will not make the cripple walk 
I’m only a coward 
I will never be your martyr 
I’m no Christ 

I wish this could be easy 
The way I pictured it when I played it in my head 
But instead I’ve gone and fucked things up beyond repair 
Left you in a storm while here the birds are singing 
And to break out of this cage 
I’ve got to break you too and I’m sorry 

But you can’t expect me to surrender my dreams 
Chained in a white room with no windows 
is no way to live a life 
So I have to be the bastard who ruined everything 

But I hope someday we can laugh and talk about this 
We were young and stupid 
and we didn’t know what we were doing 
And you will smile and tell me I was right 
when I said that everything will be okay 
You will laugh and smile – everything will be okay 
You will laugh and smile – everything will be okay 
You will laugh and smile – everything will be okay 

But you’re no Christ 
You’ll never turn the other cheek 
And there will be no forgiveness 
For the sins that I’ve committed with the best of intentions 
I’m no Christ 
But still you nail me to the cross 
Strip away my freedom 
And call me a savior 
I’m no Christ 
Nail me to the cross 
Make me a martyr 
and call me a savior 
I’ll be your savior 
Call me Christ

I'm No Christ

Lyrics

Break her down baby tell me all your lies 
let me drink in all your sadness 
let me say all my goodbyes 
and we’ll laugh together like we didn’t know the time 
like we didn’t know what happens 
like I’m still not out of line 
and I’ll cough blood as I pass out on the floor 
I’ll ask for your forgiveness but I won’t unlock the door 
and you’ll tell me all about how happy I would be 
if I could give it up, but I wont, get your hands off of me 
Get your motherfucking hands off of me 

Break her down baby let me start again 
let me dig a little deeper let me fuck over my friends 
before I realize that this is how it ends 
let me smile and get complacent 
baby we can play pretend 
I can be the housewife and you can be the cook 
I can be the needle and you can be the look 
that I’ll give to myself baby all night long 
I won’t tell you what’s wrong 
I won’t tell you what’s wrong 

You know I’m getting older 
but I won’t change. This won’t change 
The things I say to you 
they won't change 

Late last night baby I had a dream 
Where I told you all my secrets and I woke up feeling mean 
So I took a couple pills and I mixed a couple drinks 
and then I fell down on the couch 
where I’d stay out of your reach 
I wrote a couple songs and I told a few more lies 
I sent a few late letters because I didn’t know the time 
But tomorrow’s a new day and maybe we can start again 
if the holes in my mind can be filled 

You know we're getting older 
but we won’t change we won’t change 
The things we need to prove 
They won’t change. We’ll stay the same
