Lyrics of Sanctify by Olly Alexander (Years & Years)
intro
When I pray
When I-
When I pray
verse
In the night, you come to me
'Cause I'm the one who knows who you are
Ooh
Give me your confession, saying
Lately, life's been tearing you apart
Now
pre-chorus
Walk through the fire with you
'Cause I know how it can hurt
Being cut in two and afraid
chorus
So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
When I pray
verse
You don't have to be straight with me
I see what's underneath your mask
I'm a man like you, I breathe
The rituals of the dancer's dance
Oh, oh
pre-chorus
And there's fire in you
And you know it's gonna hurt
Being cut in two and afraid
chorus
So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
When I pray
bridge
You'll find redemption when all this is through
Father, forgive me for finding the truth
Love takes it's toll on me, I'm just like you
Maybe it's heavenly
Maybe it's heavenly
chorus
So don't break (break)
Sanctify my body with pain (pain)
Sanctify the love that you crave (crave)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed
Sanctify my sins when I pray
outro
Sanctify my body with pain (sanctify, sanctify my sins)
Sanctify the love that you crave (sanctify)
Oh, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't be ashamed (sanctify)
Sanctify my sins when I pray
When I pray
When I pray
Writer(s): Thomas Edward Percy Hull, Oliver Alexander Thornton
