On My Knees

[Verse 1]
I was born to sin
Not born again
I'm human
I don't see why I would deny myself such fruit
My parents raised me well
Not scared of Hell
It's hard to tell if I'd end up there
If the old wives tale were true
I don't believe in Satan or damnation or creation
Didn't we exhume old Lucy's bones?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll enter the great unknown on my own
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I'm lonely and scared
Don't think I'll ever be prepared
For the inevitable nothing

[Chorus]
On my knees
On my knees
On my death bed lеading to nobody
On my knees

[Verse 2]
Went to catholic school
I followed rules
Found Jеsus–
To be a terrifying presence in my life
Almost certainly
God-fearing
I prayed to keep The Holy One
From bleeding from his eyes
I know "Jesus saves"
"Love conquers hate"
And still today I don't deny the lives that he has touched
But I don't need a crucifix for a crutch

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still I yearn to believe
In something greater than me
'Til then, I will earnestly sing

[Chorus]
On my knees
On my knees
Here at death's door
Peeking through the keyhole
On my knees
Alright

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Still, I'm trying to find
Something deeper inside
What a precious, precocious
Human thing
