Messiah - Austra

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, give me your hand

I will not lift you but I can guide you

I’ll be your shadow, you’ll be the light

A balance will settle between us

You’ll be the body, I’ll be the spine
