Lyrics
My vineyard is not your blood
Rejecting a connection or association, stating that personal space or identity is distinct.
I’ve never been your son

You’re not the sky

I cry
Expressing emotional pain or distress.
But i never pray
Claiming a lack of religious devotion or spiritual communication through prayer.
I can lie and die but not come back to life
Accepting mortality but expressing a lack of resurrection or renewal.
I’ll never be god, i’ll never be slave
Rejecting extremes, refusing to be a deity or subservient, seeking balance.
You shed tears of blood and put it on your hands
Metaphorically addressing guilt or remorse, acknowledging a burden.
You carry on as you have begun
Advocating for continuity in actions or behavior, maintaining a course of action.
My graveyard is not your road
Emphasizing the individuality of a path, not conforming to another's journey.
I'll never be your horns

What you say, you are a liar
