|
We have followed our leaders into the vault of a burning bank |
|
We raised our children on dead end roads |
|
waiting to death in the summer win |
|
Looking for answers that I was never meant to find |
|
I swallow my tongue in defeat before I drown |
|
face down in the street waiting for the ambulance to arrive |
|
I saved myself from you |
|
Gagging to death on these prayers |
|
my agony is self-inflicted |
|
Burn my body at the stake |
|
My love in effigy |
|
My songs are gasoline in the mouth of a coward shouting "Fire" |
|
I swallow my questions down in fear before I know |
|
Too much of myself, trying to explain what keeps me falling to my knees. |
|
The burden of living proof, I saved myself from you. |
|
In case of a new emergency, I saved myself from you. |
|
When nothing moves in the wake of regret, I saved myself from you. |
|
I saved myself from the arms of corruption |
