[Verse 1]
The new gods lie in undertones
And always we feel honor-bound
That siren song says, "Come along"
So we crawl that wicked way back down
Lambs turn into wolves these days
'Cause no one's hunting hounds
The gentle things are suffering
Made monsters on the battlegrounds
[Pre-Chorus]
But beggars can't choose
Where winners never lose
Ghosts stayed ghosts forever
Before you came through
Before you
[Chorus]
Oh, come and revive me
Come take what's inside me
It's only a body
I'm only a body
Come in and refine me
I've been waiting for something to redesign me
Come get what you came for
Pretend I was made for you
[Verse 2]
The royals say we must adjust
So we bite back our wanderlust
Bring back the golden fleece
Our money weeps
It never asked to rule us
Well, I am just a pattern-finding
Spot-the-difference machine in
Gravity's embrace
For just a second I can witness this
[Pre-Chorus]
Where beggars can't choose
Where winners never lose
Ghosts stayed ghosts forever
Before you came through
[Chorus]
Oh, come and revive me
Come take what's inside me
It's only a body
I'm only a body
Come in and refine me
I've been waiting for something to redesign me
Come get what you came for
Pretend I was made for you
[Outro]
So come on and try me
Come put out the fire in me
If that's how you see me
If you think it'd be easy
