Holy Water

[Verse 1]
It started when I was young and
Couldn't sleep in bed
I pulled my mattress down the hall and
Slept on it instead

[Verse 2]
Every time I closed my eyes I
Couldn't feel my legs
Snot would dribble out my nose and
Visions would flood my head

[Chorus]
My parents threw holy water
All across my skin
I told them to get that shit off of me
But they could not hear it

[Post-Chorus]
My knee caps are all smashed up
From falling to the floor
These genuflections stop me from
Going in the church front door

[Verse 3]
When I started growing up
These symptoms because worse
I started chanting passages
And poems in foreign words

[Verse 4]
My eyes would turn from green to black
And I'd stare for hours on end
Instead of taking me to a doctor
The priest held out his hand

[Bridge]
The priest got down on his knees yeah
Got down on his knees
The priest got down on his knees yeah
Got down on his knees

[Chorus]
My parents threw holy water
All across my skin
I told them to get that shit off of me
But they could not hear it

[Post-Chorus]
My knee caps are all smashed up
From falling to the floor
These genuflections stop me from
Going in the church front door

[Post-Chorus]
My knee caps are all smashed
From falling to the floor
These genuflections
In the church front door

[Outro]
My knee caps are all
Smashed up, smashed up
Knee caps are all
Smashed up, smashed up
