A Good Catholic Girl

[Verse 1]
Candle smoke rises with unsaid prayers
While she bends holy words into judgements and stares
Her thumb smooths the silver of Christ on the cross
But her words leave a trail of unspoken loss
[Chorus]
She wears the holy cross to cover her shame
While burning down lives in his sacred name
Preaching of God while she poisons the room
While believing she's being a good Catholic girl
[Verse 2]
God's truth is a garden where mercy grows
But thorns of judgement are all she sows
She points to the heavens to hide her shame
While casting stones in jesus's sacred name
[[Chorus]
She wears the holy cross to cover her shame
While burning down lives in his sacred name
Preaching of God while she poisons the room
While believing she's being a good Catholic girl
[Bridge]
The cross on her chest is a call to love
To lift up the fallen to heavens above
May the weight of the silver remind her soul
That only forgiveness can make her soul whole
[Chorus]
She wears the holy cross to cover her shame
While burning down lives in his sacred name
Preaching of God while she poisons the room
While believing she's being a good Catholic girl
