[Verse 1] I devoured the word, to silence the sin. Escaping my past, to travel within. I was promised the world, would soon wither away. If I scattered the ashes, and lived for today. [Pre-Chorus] Expelling the tenants inside of me, I rehearsed the remnants, of who I might be... [Chorus] When the side effects remind me of the remnants, of who I'd rather be... (oh) remnants of me, scattered and free— but never the me I was meant to see. [Verse 2] They handed me hope and bottled the lie. They swore I would break, that my old self would die. I bought every line, paid with my blood. They sold me salvation, but delivered the flood. [Pre-Chorus] Their preaching and vomit, formed the Jesus that I wore. Forgiveness was promised behind every door... [Chorus] When the side effects remind me of the remnants, of who I'd rather be... (oh) remnants of me. scattered and free— but never the me I was meant to see. [Verse 3] Now the pulpits are quiet, but the silence cut deep. No god to believe in, no vow left to keep. I returned to the gallows, praying they'd swing. But trust grew too shallow— and truth lost its sting. [Bridge] Every bridge that I crossed, they burned from behind. Hands that were lifted, they now only divide. I lock every door, and swallow the key. No religion to follow— just remnants... just me. [Final Chorus] When the side effects remind me of the remnants, of who I'd rather be... (oh) remnants of me... remnants of me... When the side effects remind me of the remnants, of who I'd rather be... (oh) remnants of me... remnants of me... of the remnants, of who I'd rather be... (oh) remnants of me... remnants of me... (oh) remnants of me... remnants of me... (oh) remnants of me... remnants of me...
