99 Lyrics

How can I feel so abandoned when you never even existed?

How funny to feel so alone when I was alone all along

God's not a woman

God's not a man

It's just some holy water and some meaningless chants

You said you'd come running when I got lost

You said there'd be grace so amazing, but why so high a cost?

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

But I called your name, and you still didn't come

I wrapped my neck in that crown of thorns

To avoid hanging onto the devil's horns

But I guess he's just another figment of my old and rotting religion

God's not a woman, God's not a man

It's just some wooden crosses and some haphazard plans

You said you'd come running when I got lost

You said there'd be grace so amazing, but why so high a cost?

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

But I called your name, and you still didn't come

Abraham would've killed Isaac that day

And the god of Bethlehem was supposed to rise from his grave

And either I am sacrilege or you're too fucking late

Abraham would've killed Isaac that day

And the god of Bethlehem was supposed to rise from his grave

And either I am sacrilege or you're too fucking late

You said you'd come running when I got lost

You said there'd be grace so amazing, but why so high a cost?

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

You said there were 99 and I was the one

But I called your name, and you still didn't come
