[Intro] [Clean electric guitar with distant feedback] [Verse 1] She kneels at the feet of her god Finding reprieve in the sting of a needle Praying for release beneath the sod While chasing a peace that's never been real The room smells of smoke and regret Curtains pulled against the morning light Another promise left to die Before it ever survived the night [Pre-Chorus] Every prayer gets swallowed whole Every mercy comes with chains [Chorus] Your false god always answers But never hears your name It gives just enough tomorrow To steal today again One more hit One more scar One more piece of who you are Your false god always whispers... "I'll let you go... Just not tonight." [Verse 2] Family pictures face the wall Voicemails nobody returns Love stood outside for years Watching every bridge burn The mirror quit telling lies There was nothing left to hide Only hollow eyes searching For someone who already died [Pre-Chorus] Every answer feeds the hunger Every cure becomes the curse [Chorus] Your false god always answers But never hears your name It gives just enough tomorrow To steal today again One more hit One more scar One more piece of who you are Your false god always whispers... "I'll let you go... Just not tonight." [Bridge] No angels came to save you No demons dragged you down Just a thousand little compromises Until they became your crown Hope never really left you It just got buried underneath Every borrowed breath Every shattered dream Every broken belief [Final Chorus] Your false god still answers As the daylight fades away Trading blood for borrowed moments That vanish anyway One last prayer One last vein One last time to numb the pain Your false god finally keeps... The only promise... It ever made. [Outro] The room falls quiet. The needle doesn't.
