The Tragic Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm drowning in the bottom of a bottle
Running from a man I swore I'd never be
No one ever has to face tomorrow
But I'm the one who has to face me
It's the demons I've created for myself
The tragic truth
It's hard for me to understand myself
So it has to be hard as hell for you
For You
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves
Someone tell the heavens that I'm ready to escape
This is not what I wanted, not what I need
Take it all, tear it all
Rip it all away
I can't say the Devil made me do it
I chose to be the one I am, the way I am today
I wish there was but there's no way around it
In the end I made the choice and will not die ashamed
It's the voices screaming in my head
The tragic truth
It's hard for me to understand myself
So it has to be hard as hell for you
You
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves
Someone tell the heavens that I'm ready to escape
This is not what I wanted, not what I need
Take it all, tear it all
Rip it all away
Take it all, tear it all
Take it all, tear it all away
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves
Someone tell the heavens that I'm ready to escape
This is not what I wanted, not what I need
Take it all, tear it all
Rip it all away
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves
Someone tell the heavens that I'm ready to escape
This is not what I wanted, not what I need
Take it all, tear it all
Rip it all away
Take it all, tear it all
Rip it all, tear it all
Someone tell the heavens
To take it all, tear it all away
