I am a Heathen I am a Heathen You represent dichotomy Of admiration and atrocity I am a beacon Shown in your darkest light My heart is beaten Break me There's not a prayer for me No burning candles to be My eyes when I can't see the light Now I'm dying to breathe But you're not trying to see What I can't find I'm burning from the inside My Pain and thoughts, they rearrange A canvas on display You can't erase the marks of faith that you can't see I am a heathen, shot on sight There's not a prayer for me No burning candles to be My eyes when I can't see the light Now I'm dying to breathe But you're not trying to see What I can't find I'm burning from the inside I am a Heathen I am a Heathen Breaking The mold of what I am perceived to be Taking The image of what you wanted me to believe You'll always see me as the enemy But I only answer to the one who made me I am a beacon Shown in your darkest light My heart is beaten Break me There's not a prayer for me No burning candles to be My eyes when I can't see the light Now I'm dying to breathe But you're not trying to see What I can't find I'm burning from the inside You'll always see me You'll always see me as the enemy Break me Now I'm dying to breathe But you're not trying to see What I can't find I'm burning from the inside I am a Heathen I am a Heathen
