 Dm       Am        Dm
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
Dm         Am       Dm
I'll never be your chosen one
        A#    Am              Dm
I'll be home safe and tucked away
         A#
Well you can't tempt me
   Am               Dm
If I don't see  the day

The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
Cause when I open my body I breathe a lie

Chorus:
Dm         A#    Dm Am Dm  C   Dm
I will not speak of      your sin
Dm         A#    Dm Am Dm  C   Dm
There was a way out       for him
Dm         A#    Dm Am Dm  C  Dm
The mirror shows             not
Dm          A#  Dm Am Dm  C    Dm
Your values are           all short

    Dm  C  Dm    C   Dm    C  Dm   F  A#
But oh my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
    Dm   C  Dm   C  Dm   C  Dm  F      A#
So hold my hand consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate
