With Second Chances

I tried to throw it away,

I tried to burn it like a photograph

But when I close my eyes, I see it in my mind

Like it's happening

I got so good at the game,

No one could tell that I was faking sane (faking sane)

I guess I still survived, but this grudge was mine

I couldn't bear to watch it shine

Did it clear your conscience?

Did it clear your mind?

If you don't feel what you cheated, lied and steal

Is that still dishonesty?

(For every positive, there is a negative)

I used up my honesty

I'll tell you honestly

I could only give you so much

And from what you said to me

Now you're dead to me,

You're dead to me

I'm sleeping miles away,

I'm hiding out in this shrine I made

And if it keeps me safe

Well I'd fall from grace

Then I'll take this space

My skinny fingers are bare

I'm taking everything off my back (off my back)

If our skins the sin I'm desiring

This is where we'll both begin

Did it clear your conscience?

Did it clear your mind?

If you still feel what you cheated, lied and steal

Is that still integrity?

I used up my honesty

I'll tell you honestly

I could only give you so much

And from what you said to me

Now you're dead to me

'Cause you've used me as your crutch

Is everywhere that I've seen

Everywhere that I've been?

I can't help it, it's become a part of me

I used up my honesty

Now you're dead to me

You're dead to me

You lost your dignity

And my conformity

Made me throw this fight

One moment of losing yourself

Put me through hell

And cost me my whole life

Second chances are weapons

A loaded gun underneath the bed

Second chances are weapons

It's turned on you in the end

I used up my honesty

I'll tell you honestly

I could only give you so much

And from what you said to me

Now you're dead to me

'Cause you've used me as your crutch

It's spinning me like the wind

Every decision I'm in

Choose my direction like I'm drowning in your sin

I used up my honesty

Now you're dead to me

You're dead to me

(This was my second chance,

This was my second chance)

This was my second chance

To make it right again

This was my second chance

To take a stand

This was my second chance

To never look back

This was my second chance

To live again
