The Butcher In Me

(앨범: Ignite - 2022)

So can you tell me why
The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life
Gonna sever all ties, gotta keep on running

You're kind to pretend
That you ever cared enough to think what happens in the end
Pills fall to the floor
In and out of shame you navigate the blame to others
It's all the same again

I left you drowning in the shallow end
You fooled me one time but never again

So can you tell me why
The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life
And sever all ties to a friend like you
Speaks to my skeptic side
Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside
Gonna sever all ties, gotta keep on running
Keep on running

But it was never enough for you
And your compulsion to bend the truth
As years gone by I still ask why
Were you ever my brother I know
I know you're in a hurry

I'll save you the time
Talk is cheaper than your empty pockets
Your words mean nothing
Save your breath I'm done

I left you drowning in the shallow end
You fooled me one time but never again
And I'll get by with the stench of you lies
One last time

So can you tell me why
The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life
And sever all ties to a friend like you
Speaks to my skeptic side
Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside
Gonna sever all ties, gotta keep on running

I know under the surface you bleed the same
As me you feel the pain
And though we had our problems I need to wish you well
But it's better for me if I never see your face again

So can you tell me why
The butcher in me wants to cut you from my life
And sever all ties to a friend like you
Speaks to my skeptic side
Uncovered untruths leave me rotting out inside
Gonna sever all ties, gotta keep on running
