lyrics

A bit of the grave, a little too brave
The noise in my head growing violent
When out of the throng, a siren song:
“Let us make it quiet”
So I followed and prayed, begging for aid
Spilling my guts at that merciful shrine
And they cut out my tongue, I was stupid and young
But if I take it, then it’s mine

Love turned to hate, too little, too late
And Honesty made me her fool
Riddled with doubt, I couldn’t get out
They told me: “This will save you;
Freedom begins with locking you in”
Made powerless here by design
Already tired and cold, I don’t need to get old
But if I take it, then it’s mine

“Come now, bare us your heart
Show us the seams and we’ll take you apart
Ceding control is the perfect start
We’ll give you the lines if you play the part
Darling, don’t cry, we don’t want you to die
Three can keep a secret, if two of them lie”

Foul-weather friends, means without ends
The lines were crossed in silence
“We love you to death, but don’t hold your breath
All you’ve done is slight us
Abused and deceived, but it’s worse if you leave”
They dug up the wickedness buried inside
Screaming “you must atone”, but we all die alone
And if I take it, then it’s mine

Pinch, pull, press and unwind
(Pinch, pull, press and unwind)
The price of the truth is a lifetime of lies
(Why would you lie?)
Nobody bothered to wonder why
(It won’t matter why)
I don’t even know if I want to die
(We won’t let you die)
Worn down to the bone, with nothing to show
(Don’t let it show)
Swear I’ll be good
(Swear you’ll be good)
If you'll let me go home

“Sweet little thing, why won’t you sing?
We built you a cage and you’re free now
Free to obey, it’s better this way
Baby, can’t you see how
You’re begging for pain, you’re safer in chains
Than selfishly placing one toe out of line
Darling, we saved your life, now shut up and survive”
But if I take it, then it’s mine
