I tried to throw it away,
|
I tried to burn it like a photograph
|
But when I close my eyes, I see it in my mind
|
Like it's happening
|
|
I got so good at the game,
|
No one could tell that I was faking sane (faking sane)
|
I guess I still survived, but this grudge was mine
|
I couldn't bear to watch it shine
|
|
Did it clear your conscience?
|
Did it clear your mind?
|
If you don't feel what you cheated, lied and steal
|
Is that still dishonesty?
|
|
(For every positive, there is a negative)
|
|
I used up my honesty
|
I'll tell you honestly
|
I could only give you so much
|
And from what you said to me
|
Now you're dead to me,
|
You're dead to me
|
|
I'm sleeping miles away,
|
I'm hiding out in this shrine I made
|
And if it keeps me safe
|
Well I'd fall from grace
|
Then I'll take this space
|
|
My skinny fingers are bare
|
I'm taking everything off my back (off my back)
|
If our skins the sin I'm desiring
|
This is where we'll both begin
|
|
Did it clear your conscience?
|
Did it clear your mind?
|
If you still feel what you cheated, lied and steal
|
Is that still integrity?
|
|
I used up my honesty
|
I'll tell you honestly
|
I could only give you so much
|
And from what you said to me
|
Now you're dead to me
|
'Cause you've used me as your crutch
|
|
Is everywhere that I've seen
|
Everywhere that I've been?
|
I can't help it, it's become a part of me
|
I used up my honesty
|
Now you're dead to me
|
You're dead to me
|
|
You lost your dignity
|
And my conformity
|
Made me throw this fight
|
One moment of losing yourself
|
Put me through hell
|
And cost me my whole life
|
|
Second chances are weapons
|
A loaded gun underneath the bed
|
Second chances are weapons
|
It's turned on you in the end
|
|
I used up my honesty
|
I'll tell you honestly
|
I could only give you so much
|
And from what you said to me
|
Now you're dead to me
|
'Cause you've used me as your crutch
|
|
It's spinning me like the wind
|
Every decision I'm in
|
Choose my direction like I'm drowning in your sin
|
I used up my honesty
|
Now you're dead to me
|
You're dead to me
|
|
(This was my second chance,
|
This was my second chance)
|
|
This was my second chance
|
To make it right again
|
This was my second chance
|
To take a stand
|
This was my second chance
|
To never look back
|
This was my second chance
|
To live again
|
