Austra - Messiah Lyrics

As I stand, I'm not a messiah
So take me down back to the ground
I'm not your answer
I can't be your escape
You've raised me up, I'm in the sky

Don't be surprised when I can't deliver
The pulse you need, this old machine
Don't be surprised when I can't deliver
A heaving breath, mountain of steam

There may be gaps, my words may be broken
In spite of this (spite), give me your hand (give me your hand)
I will not lift you (I will not lift you)
But I can guide you (but I can guide)
I'll be your shadow (I'll be your shadow)
You'll be the light (be the light)

A balance will settle between us
You'll be the body (you'll be the body)
I'll be the spine (I'll be the spine)

Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
