Scapegoat

(album: Skeleton Psalms - 2023)

I can't believe that I'm not dead
For how long your wool was pulled over my head
Caught you kneeling at your altar ego
Face to face with the anti-hero
You cast the shame, pass the blame
Never been the same from the day you came

I tear down your dark disguise
Come to the light

Now I know who you are
And I know what you want
Never again, never again
Try to break my soul
Just to make it your own
Never again, never again
Try to romance my heart
Just to leave me alone
Never again, never again

Take your needle from my eyes
No tears are falling
My faith concedes to rise
And I'll be your scapegoat never again

I can't believe I let you in
But you huffed and puffed 'til I could hardly stand

All the king's horses, all the king's men
Could not find the corpses under your bed
But I smelled the rot, took the shot
Like it or not it's the plot you bought and

I tear down your dark disguise
Come to the light

Now I know who you are
And I know what you want
Never again, never again
Try to break my soul
Just to make it your own
Never again, never again
Try to romance my heart
Just to leave me alone
Never again, never again

Take your needle from my eyes
No tears are falling
My faith concedes to rise
And I'll be your scapegoat never again

Now I know who you are
Now I know what you want
You're breaking my soul
Just to make it your own

Now I know who you are
And I know what you want
Try to break my soul
Just to make it your own

Take your needle from my eyes
No tears are falling
My faith concedes to rise
Now take your poison from my mind
No tears are falling
Your face I leave behind
