This song was inspired by someone who believed in status symbols and that people, namely I, had to go along with what society expects of them. It can also be about how people build up others on a pedestal and, when the pedestal falls, turn on them.

lyrics

Verse 1:
You see me as anointed
You think too high of me
I'm broken off into a million pieces
To promote your Holy See
A phony holy object
Another thorny crown
A Shroud of Turin
Hides the truth from within
That you always put me down

Prechorus:
Drowned in your Yangtze
And told that it is the Somme
I won't be your reliquary
In your twisted Notre Dame

Chorus 1:
Reliquary
Put up on display
Reliquary
Don't wanna be this way

Verse 2:
You put me up behind glass
A station of the cross
Resuming your trek
With me on your neck
Another albatross
You want to create a god
So why did you choose me
Just cut the worship
'Cause it's all bullshit
I'm no reliquary

Prechorus

Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
I will not be your idol
(Reliquary)
To be put up on your pedestal
(Reliquary)
To become one of your false saints
(Reliquary)
To become everything I ain't

Repeat Chorus 2

Verse 1

Prechorus

Chorus 1(x2)

I knew Joe Mayeur, the guitarist on this album. It's also a great album if you're into reggae from the Dairy State. Buskers
