Fold up my thoughts, tuck them away Drink for the pain, drink it away Turn the key that hides The devil's tongue, the vicious side The surgeons cut is fine These wounds may heal in time But still the edges fray And when she's gone, I'll know she's safe The walls are caving in To crush the state I'm in So sew the noose with my lies and my shame Disappear from sight, to make all things right We filled all our days the same We shared a sacred thrust, I cast it into flames Revealed a fragile hide My selfish ways k**ed her inside So turn my picture down In days I'll leave this town And when I do, you'll stay Cause when I'm gone, I know I'm safe The walls are caving in To crush the state I'm in So sew the noose with my lies and my shame Disappear from sight, to make all things right
