lyrics

Holier Than Thou

Lyrics & Music Taylor Madison Damion

The man I met was empty but there is some debate
He was full of himself and he was full of hate
He had poison dagger eyes and a deadly kind of laugh
And lines on his face like an epitaph and it read

Sin and secrecy its kiss upon your brow
Come not near to me I am holier than thou
Holier than thou

He was a knight in Nietzsche’s army where god is dead of course
So he took his place seated high upon his horse
But his wicked demons grinned inside the looking glass
They were mocking him and his gravitas when he said

Sin and secrecy its kiss upon your brow
Come not near to me I am holier than thou
Holier than thou

His eyes kept guard with an armour-plated heart
But the irony was he tore himself apart
So tortured inside I'll be damned if his soul
Didn't look like lace so full of holes when he said
I’m holier
Holier than thou

Sin and secrecy its kiss upon your brow
Come not near to me I am holier than thou
Holier than thou
The serpent in the tree it beckons to you now
Come not near to me I am holier than thou
Holier than thou
He said I am holier than thou
