Sermon sung me slow to sleep
Faster if I had a choice
With every breath another death

Still so in love with your own voice
Idle threats to hide regrets
Excuses serve to bide the time

Cover tracks, double back
We summon silence so divine


Greeted with a thundering
absence of applause


Choke on your own words
Lies are venom in your veins
Burn from the inside

And never speak my name

Jesus complex, gag reflex

Trigger happy redundancy
No thrill, no chase, no saving grace
Hypnotic in monotony


Loaded with a salt rock shot
You say you're everything you're not

What might have been is all you've got
From here and now you're dead to me


Greeted with a thunderous
absence of applause


Choke on your own words
Lies are venom in your veins
Burn from the inside

And never speak my name

Nothing will ever erase

Or undo your disgrace
A lonely self-embrace
They've long forgotten you

Still cling to what it was
A lost and hopeless cause
Forever mourning your loss

They've long forgotten you

Murdered slowly in minute

increments of time
Pissing up a rope
Another moment passes by


Choke on your own words
Lies are venom in your veins

Burn from the inside
And never speak my name
