Lyric

Verse 1

You ever seen Saint Anne and the holy child

Mary on her mama’s knee, sitting calm and styled

Nobody says it’s strange, nobody says it’s wrong

But a grown-up daughter gotta weigh a ton

Faith make it easy, yeah faith make it clean

Close both eyes to what you see

People pray hard in front of the frame

But nobody question the shape of the game

Chorus

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

I just draw a line

Between her left leg, her right side

Watch the truth unwind

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

I just cross that sign

Look again, look slow, look deep

That picture change its mind

Verse 2

Draw that line between the bone and skin

Anne on the left, Mary sliding in

Switching legs like a card trick move

Now tell me brother, who holding who?

Mother and daughter and the child between

Too tight together for a holy scene

Stacked like shadows in a single light

Something don’t sit right, no something don’t sit right

Chorus

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

I just draw a line

Sacred borders start to bend

Every single time

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

Just opened my eyes

Truth don’t hide in heaven

It hide in plain sight

Bridge

That child lean forward, ready to go

To the flock outside, don’t even know

Anne pull back, Mary hesitate

Love and fear in the same damn shape

Lines start lying, bodies talk

Painted silence begin to walk

Five hundred years and still they pray

Looking straight but look away

Final Chorus

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

I didn’t spill no blood

Just asking why we kneel so fast

In front of painted gods

I didn’t shoot no sheriff, no

Just whisper what I see

Truth been waiting half a thousand years

For eyes that wanna be free

Outro

Draw the line…

Let it slide…

Look again…

Don’t blink this time…
