Altar Lyrics by Elliot Root

The Uncanny Valley

2021

[Verse 1]
I was looking for changing
All the wrong places
Pointing at you but wearing many faces

[Pre-Chorus]
Im a sucker for the pain trying to train my mind
To understand why
Like to leave my heart wide open
Wide open

[Chorus]
(Woah, woah)
I'm trying to send through to you
Work it in closer to the truth
And I want you to know love
(Woah, woah)
Even when I falter
Put you on the altar
Wanted you to know now

[Verse 2]
Caution is not your friend
I been [?] to see it all again
You could look at things differently this time
Yo could try to be the one to set aside
All the wicked things we had

[Pre-Chorus]
Im a sucker for the pain trying to train my mind
To understand why
Like to leave my hеart wide open
(Wide opеn)

[Chorus]
(Woah, woah)
I'm trying to send through to you
Work it in closer to the truth
And I want you to know love
(Woah, woah)
Even when I falter
Put you on the altar
Wanted you to know now

[Bridge]
Wait, tell me what they do not see
I am tripping over both my feet
[?] from the river
[?]
You're holding me down, deep close to belief
I just need an altar
Somewhere to bend the knee, yeah

[Chorus]
Even when I falter
Put you on the altar
Wanting you to know now
(Woah, woah)
Even when I falter
Put you on the altar
Wanted you to know now

[Outro]
