[Intro]
Dm C Bb Am C/E F Gm C Dm
[Verse]
Dm
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I’ll never be your chosen one
Bb Dm
I’ll be home, safe and tucked away
Bb Dm
You can’t tempt me if I don’t see the day
Dm
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
It stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
Bb Dm
better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
Bb Dm
'cause when I open my body I breathe a lie
Dm C Bb Am C/E F Gm C Dm
(D pedal in bass)
[Chorus]
Bb Dm C Dm C Dm
I will not speak of your sin
there was a way out for him
the mirror shows not
your values are all shot
[Post-Chorus]
Dm C Dm C Dm F Bb
But oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
Dm C Dm C Dm F Bb
So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness.
Dm C Bb Am C/E F Gm C Dm
[Verse]
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 until 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.
[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse]
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.
