[Verse 1]
Baby, I've been baptized
Been bathing in the moonlight
I surrender, so take your time
I'm summoning my divine
Tried it all to numb the pain
But nobody ever stayed
Could be too much to even take
Look what you find when there's nothing left to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept on running, just gasping for breath
Nothing to trust in 'cause nothing was left
I pray when I'm desperate, I'm down on my knees
Oh, my God

[Chorus]
I'm the cathedral
Finally coming home
Life was so lethal
But I'm the savior, I'm the altar, I'm the Holy Ghost
Pain was my ritual; fear, my religion
I was the one who needed forgiving, oh
I'm the cathedral

[Verse 2]
Let it in, sunlight
It feels good, that's alright
Touch my skin, love my pain away
And, God, forgive all my mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe redemption lies in the dark
My happy ending's through my broken heart
Hope is a madman that hides in my mind
Oh, my God

[Chorus]
I'm the cathedral
Finally coming home
Life was so lethal
I'm the savior, I'm the altar, I'm the Holy Ghost
Pain was my ritual; fear, my religion
I was the one who needed forgiving, oh
I'm the cathedral

[Bridge]
Who I once was, she seems so far
I've had to sacrifice her from the start
I'm born again with every scar
I can't control what's written in the stars
Been on my knees begging for God
She's there inside of me, she was just lost
Oh, my mind, look at what it caused
Darkness leads into light all along

[Chorus]
I'm the cathedral
Finally coming home
Oh God, it feels good
I'm the savior, I'm the altar, I'm the Holy Ghost
Every minute, it is a new beginning
I died in Hell and I'm finally living again
In the cathedral

[Outro]
I'm the cathedral
