LYRICS:

I was lost when you gained my trust,
You took me under your wing.
I am broken, I am beaten, I followed the path you paved.
You controlled the way; you made me dig my own grave.

I've fallen down, but you promised…
(This raging torrent, it cuts like a knife)
…I'd make it home alive.

I believed in every word.
Swallow your fucking tongue.

You promised I’d make it home,
You said I'd make it home alive.

You’re as crooked as the life that you lead,
You lived by the shortcuts you made.
The grass is grey and the streets are paved
In the blood of the innocent lives you betrayed.

Crooked.
This path is broken, desolate you made it.
Broken.
Doomed to live by the shortcuts you've made.
Crooked.
This path is broken, desolate you made it.
Swallow your fucking tongue.

And now I find myself at a road that’s divided,
And I’m scared of the choice that I'll make.

If I ever find my way back,
I still won’t know if this was worth it.

I know the way back home,
But if I’m never on time then I can never show you how
I plan to make it there.
I'm sorry I fucked up, and now I walk this path alone.
If I ever make it there, I still won’t know if it was worth it.

I'm lost, I'm broken, but I will find a way.

Swallow your tongue.
Swallow your fucking tongue.
