Touch my mouth and hold my tongue

I'll never be your chosen one

I'll be home, safe and tucked away

You can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh is just too strong

Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs

Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie

When I open my body I breathe a lie

I will not speak of your sin

There was a way out for him

The mirror shows not

Your values are all shot

And oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness

So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly till 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 until the Sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I can take the road and I can fuck it all away

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

So crawl on my belly until 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
